Challenge - Dare to Dream - Dare to Live Your Dream - Be Able to Say "I Did It" Rather Than "I Wish I Had Done It!"

  "Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."              ~Mark Twain~  

I saw Mark Twain's quote this morning and I begin to think about the millions of lost dreams that must take place all the time.

The passion to do something seems so strong at the beginning, and then it cools a little, slowly slipping into our minds as a faint twinge or memory.  

My Challenge Today is - review some of your dreams, revisit the lures of yesterday or yesteryear and see if any of that passion is still within you.

Is there some place you always wanted to go?  A book you wanted to write?  A friend or family member you haven't seen in years you would like to look up?  Someone to whom you would like to say "I'm sorry". Own your own company?  Join a choir or take piano lessons?  Paint a picture?

Wouldn't' It Be Great to Capture a Lost Dream?

Big of Small, It Could Be Life Changing

Great post Barbara...this is something I wish I had on a banner above my bed to see every morning!  I've heard motivational speakers say that a cemetary is the richest place in the world, as it houses millions of unrealized ideas/dreams, and it really hits home for me.

No better time than the present to relentlessly pursue dreams!

John, wow, these are awesome thoughts.  The banner above the bed or on the mirror...any where we would be reminded.  Lost opportunities...lost dreams....sad!

Good stuff to think about Barbara. At the age of 56 I still have more regrets about what I've done then what I've left undone. My biggest regret however was that I did not join the military when I could have even though Vietnam was raging.

Bob, there is still plenty of time for dreams.  I hear you about the military.  My brother was in the service during those years and they were hard years for him and for the family.

Great reminder Barbara, it's easy to get caught up in the day to day details of life and let passion for a dream fade. It's worth it to revisit and reflect on what really inspires us

Rene, I bet there is some pretty cool stuff in your bucket list!  Never to late to start pulling out some of those dreams.

Diane, we need to try to hold on to our passions.  Life without our passions can be pretty boring...here's to pulling out some of the dreams to see if the passion might still be there.

Thanks for the reminder, it's tough to keep dreaming when times are tough...even though it's the dreams that push us forward

That's a great quote -- thanks for sharing that with us.  I love Mark Twain!  To quote "me" I try to remember that life isn't a dress rehearsal -- we're live and this is the one shot.  Make it count!

Brian, you are right, sometimes it is tough to keep the dreaming going when times are hard.  It IS true that the dreams do push us forward and that it is important to manage to keep these dreams alive. 

Melanie, Wow, good thought, you own special quote.  We have to make it count!
