“If not us, who? If not now, when?”
John F. Kennedy
Thank you, Spidey, for making me think!
When you have a dream, often there is an inspirational person out there, willing you to dream this dream.
Why keep it at dream status?
If you want to achieve something, you are the only one who can do it. And if you don’t, there are many people out there with the gumption to take their dream, which might be similar to yours, and fly with it.
BE that person. Live your dream!
Okay, so you want to be that person. But, life, you know. Too much going on. Work, family, commitments. They all take up so much of your time, that there is none left to achieve your goal.
Nonsense.
Unless your dream involves a huge amount of planning, and maybe finance that you have to raise, there is NOTHING stopping you getting on the ladder to climbing up to that dream cloud your idea is sitting in, and reaching it.
It may be small things to start with, but if you want to buy a house, start looking. If you want to streamline your life, start decluttering small parts of your house. If you want to write a book, cut down on the TV you watch, and put some words to paper.
They may not be your dream achieved, but they are the starts. And everything has to start somewhere!
So… tell me, what dream do you have, and what step can you take to make it come true?
But I Smile Anyway...

You and Spidey and Kennedy are right! Let me leave now and start up the Powerful Women Readers on-line book club once again. If I don’t; who will?

Make the choice and then … start…a small start is still not standing at the gate after the gun goes off.

I completely agree with you: there is NOTHING in your way if you have a goal and want to achieve it…are there things that must be addressed while you strive for your goal? Sure, but they are part of the journey, not obstacles or barriers…

Spidey is a plagiator. Lol
The German handball team had this slogan for the last World Cup.
But i love it, and you’re on a very good path. I will dream with you, Sis! Michael

If I don’t take steps for the realization of my dreams others will make use of me for realizing their dreams. If I am not determined, I cannot motivate others to support me. If I want to win the lottery, I need to buy a lottery ticket!

It’s too easy to be overwhelmed by the audaciousness of the dream, but at some point you have to sit down and work out what the first step to achieving it is. Then you have to take it. Then you work out the next step and take that one, and so on.
