In your teens, life is in front of you. You feel that you have all the time in the world with infinite possibilities. As you get older, time and potential carry a different meaning.
Recently at a party, I listened to several people’s life stories. In retrospect, they shared how they spent their years while inhabiting planet earth. There were times devoted to their professions, characters met along the way, and relationships/sagas with family and friends.
Currently, all of them were following an inner impulse, even though they didn’t know how or where it would lead them. One didn’t relate to “retirement” and took action on a marketing idea. A mom decided to get out and socialize with new people. Another creatively discovered solutions to projects.
What about you? Whatever you’re experiencing now is both an all-encompassing, attention grabber for you as well as part of your book of life that you’re writing.
In this moment, you’re literally writing this chapter. Its foundation is built upon your vision as well as how you interpret what you’re seeing, the emotions you feel, and actions you take.
The great news is that you can complete this chapter and design the next any way you choose. There are key elements to have your results match your intention which include:
- Believe in yourself
- Surround yourself with supportive people
- Get clear on what you choose – your dream and direction
- Stop trying to figure everything out in your head first
- Let go of limiting beliefs
- Take a calculated risk on you and your dreams
- Create a momentum of energy through action
Virginia’s TIP: Quotes To Inspire You To Live Your Dreams
It’s never too late to fulfill your cherished desires. Your journey and destination may look differently from what you thought. However, you have a dream in your heart for a reason. Following are quotes to help you live your dreams:
“If you ask the ‘how’ question before the ‘what’ question, all you can ever hope to create are variations of what you already have.” —Robert Fritz
“Faith is taking the first step even when you can’t see the whole staircase.” – Martin Luther King Jr.
“Once we believe in ourselves we can risk curiosity, wonder, spontaneous delight, or any experience that reveals the human spirit.” –e. e. Cummings
“Keep away from people who belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great.” –Mark Twain
“You can’t outwit fate by trying to stand on the sidelines and place little side bets about the outcome of life. Either you wade in and risk everything to play the game, or you don’t play at all. And if you don’t play, you can’t win.” –Judith McNaught
“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life.” –Steve Jobs

“I’ve missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. Twenty-six times I’ve been trusted to take the game-winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.” –Michael Jordan
“Don’t be too timid and squeamish about your actions. All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make the better.” –Ralph Waldo Emerson
“Risk more than others think is safe. Care more than others think is wise. Dream more than others think is practical. Expect more than others think is possible.” –Cadet maxim
“We are condemned to live out what we cannot imagine.” — Thomas Moore in Care of the Soul
“Life is a ‘choose your own ending’ book- you can take whatever adventures you want.” — Erika Towles, Age 12
