LIVING A Radically Engaged
LIFE ™
How Choosing to Live
Radically Engaged
Changed
EVERYTHING
BY MARIANNE MACKENZIE
My vantage point today makes it clear how important engaging in life is to our happiness . Today my life is full , active and overflowing with rich relationships , robust business opportunities , vibrant health and the wisdom of knowing just how I was able to transform what was into what IS today . My life has been full of transformations just as yours has and I know that these things have brought me to where I am today so I can share what I have discovered along my journey . I am a teacher , a guide and a coach .
Somewhere between the tear soaked face , the skinned knees from falling and the broken heart ( s ), I have consciously created a business and a life that has pulled me toward a version of myself that requires my best . It requires me to be vulnerable way beyond my comfort , compassionately honest to the point of serious self-love and courageous as I face the life I have dreamed about .
And you know what ? I realized I would not want to live any other way . Life setting on the sidelines is no life at all to me . I also realized that I ’ m not alone in my desire to squeeze every last beautiful sweet drop out of this life experience . In fact I would dare guess that you too are big life-live-er , a sweet-dropsqueezer , a radically engaged soul .
