This is 2008 and if you are over 40 like me, time seems to fly faster and faster! With all the opportunites out there, it can be extremely difficult to choose a company that fits. That being said, you still want to follow your dreams and live a life that is fulfilling and enjoyable before you get too old to enjoy it!
I have been a dreamer all my life. I have always believed that I shouldn't have to live in poverty or just get by. A good book that I recommend is "Purpose Driven Life". Read through this book over a 30 day period and by the time you are done, you will determine your purpose for being on this earth! After all, if you don't know why you are here or don't believe there is a reason for you being alive, then how do you get up in the morning??
There are people everywhere, all over the globe, who wake up day after day going to a job that they absolutely hate and never fulfill their dreams because they don't know how to dream anymore. They have been pushed down so often, that they have learned not to get back up again for fear of embarrassment, disappointment or failure.
I have friends and family who believe that it's best to get a "good job", health benefits and a retirement account. "Don't waste your time dreaming", they say to me. Wow. The day I stop dreaming and working toward living a life that I love, is the day I stop breathing. So, I have learned not to take those comments too seriously and be an independent thinker. Secretly though, I know my family is watching to see what will become of my endeavors. They hope that I will succeed but don't have the faith to believe and so they stay locked up in their cushy, safe jobs.
The reason i write this is to encourage all of you dreamers who haven't given up yet! Find what it is you love and go after it! I have tried numerous businesses over the past 20 something years and have had some success. It has taken me many years to get to where I am now but at least I'm here! Please, whatever you decide to do, do it with all of your heart and passionately. Live and love with passion. We are only here on this earth for a limited time. Make it worth your while and make an impression on those around you.
Today, January 23, 2008, do something for someone else and impact their life. Do something that you have never done before. What have you got to lose?
