Be Bold, Be Daring

The caption above says it all.   Waiting around until you feel like going after your dream, or doing that crazy thing you really want to do gets you nowhere.

There has to come a day when you make the jump, when you take off running and don’t look back, and don’t give up.

We are kings and queens of excuses and through deliberation we will come up with every one in the book to keep us from doing whatever crazy dream we have.  Our excuses today have even turned into things like “I’ll miss the new episode of such and such show”. I mean can our excuses get any lamer?  Really?  Since when did a TV show, social media or some other distraction take precedence over going after daring and bold adventures?

When did knowing what happens to a fictional character mean more than making our own life filled with adventures.

I am a huge advocate for reading.  My wife and I go through books and audiobooks like nobody’s business, but even in reading you have to be reading things that are challenging you, not just feeding your fantasies and helping you to live a fictional life.  Then you have to act on what you read.  Take the lessons and apply them to your life.

Distractions kill us, they keep us stuck.  Deal with them and move forward.
