9. Don’t be afraid to live out some of your dreams.
“There are thousands of people who live their entire lives on the default settings, never realizing they can customize everything. Don’t settle for the default settings in life. Don’t hide behind laziness. Find your loves, talents and passions, and embrace them fully.
Seriously, too many people dream only at night in the quiet of their own minds, and then awake to find it was all an illusion. Don’t be one of them. Dream by day, too. Be one of the people who dream with their eyes wide open, and who works to make some of them come true.
And forget popularity too. Just do your thing with passion, humility, and honesty. Do what you do, not for an applause, but because it’s what’s right. Pursue it a little bit each day, no matter what anyone else thinks. That’s how dreams are achieved.”
(Read Tuesdays with Morrie.)
Sounds so simple doesn’t it? I’ve now entered what I lovingly refer to as the last 1/3 of my life. OK, so my Mom just turned 100 on Christmas Eve, so maybe I’ve got a bit more time, but seriously?
What am I waiting for? If it’s not something that is holding you back (like finances) but something that you can dream about, then accomplish – what are you waiting for?
I’ve mentioned before, the last year of college, I set myself some life goals. Of the five, I didn’t finish the fifth and final one till last year. I graduated college in 1975, you can do the math.
So now I’m setting myself new goals. They’re also larger goals. I may not make them all, but I surely won’t if I don’t dream about them then plan for them.
What are your dreams? What are you goals?
Are you with me?
