the purpose of life

Take a moment to think about this question, "Are you living your dreams?"

If the answer is no, then ask yourself, "why not?" Life is short, and you never know when it will come to an end. Do you really want to say that you lived a life of unfulfilled dreams?

But "hold it!" you say, "I'm waiting for the perfect time" or "I'm waiting for the perfect situation." All this waiting is an excuse not to go out and try. Or, maybe it's not that you are "waiting" per se, but rather that you are afraid.

So, what are you afraid of? Are you afraid of making a mistake? Afraid of making the wrong choice? Are you afraid that you may not be good enough, or that the people around you might laugh at your dreams, or won't support you? Are your fears enough to stop you?

And what happens if you do end up living your dreams? Are you afraid that once you get there, then you'll have to live them? Meaning that what you've been talking about for so long will now come to fruition and you might not actually succeed?

I find that fear is the number one reason that people do not live their dreams. Fear holds us back, sometimes paralyzing us, and prevents us from moving forward. But, when you look back at your life, what do you want it to be about? Do you want to say, "I could have" or "I did"? The choice is yours. What legacy do you want to leave behind?
