"Had I known that it was going to end at this time, I would have made some different turns. I was sure that there would be time to change my course."

· This is why I am constantly urging people to be mindful of present moment.

This is why I encourage people to acknowledge, accept and even embrace their own mortality. One of my key principles is something that I call "The Mortality Manifesto". It is a very powerful one page document and I invite you to read it for yourself.

Then I invite you to share it with your family and friends, because we are ALL traveling down highway of life.

About Patrick Mathieu

Patrick Mathieu has an expiry date. He was born with Congenital Heart Disease. Today, a barcode tattoo on his shoulder that reads 031800, or March 18, 2000 - date of his 30th birthday. Rather than see this as a death sentence, he used this as a call to action. Through his speaking, writing and coaching, he now shares his deeply personal story with audiences everywhere and reveals exciting insights that this life experience has given him. He helps people come to terms with death, which actually helps them experience fuller, more vital lives. Visit www.whatsyourexpirydate.com

It was hard for me to truly believe I would ever be able to achieve fluency as everyone had always told me that you can not overcome a stammer.

After about a year though I managed to overcome stammer and then started to help other people to achieve fluency.

Stephen Hill runs The How To Stop Stammering Centre in Birmingham. He has a couple of websites at http://www.stuttering-help.co.uk and http://www.stutter-cure.com.
