"When memories exceed dreams, the end is near." I heard this quote over the weekend and it really had an impact on me. I apologize to you that I do not know to whom to credit the quote. I actually did some digging to try to find the author, but had no luck.
I think of an image of older people who are confined by the limits of the bodies. What do they do? They reminisce. I am not saying that is a bad thing, just a fact. They instinctively know that the end is near. Contrast that image with someone who is trying something new. Recently I read about an ocotgenarian who had run his first marathon. He had dreams. Olympians such as Dara Torres and Laura Wilkerson had dreams. They did not rest on their laurels and think about the years they HAD participated; they made it happen again.
What are your dreams? Are you living in a real estate world that was all boom thinking about the good old days. I urge you to dream. Dream about your short and long term goals and then work to make them happen. Unless you want the end to be near (and maybe some of you do), DREAM BIG. Make it happen.
