Your Life Begins When You Do

Nearly everyone postpones one grand thing or a collection of mighty hopes and dreams.

Between the quote marks of our lives are phrases like these: "When things slow down...when I finish my degree...

when I get certified...as I acquire a deeper knowledge base...when I have kids...when the kids are grown..

.when I get well...when I marry...when I divorce...when I retire...when I get that promotion, that raise, that job, that house

, that whatever the fill-in-the blank is for your specific postponing of life..."

Your Life Begins When You Do.

You may think you are postponing the longing of your soul until life aligns itself with your vision,

Until elements conspire to be more favorable...but as it happens, life just lolls along at the same remarkable consistent and disinterested cadence.

Life is impartial. YOUR personal, subjective life (dreams, satisfactions, contentment, achievements, vision, fullness, passion, aspirations) begins when you begin.

Your purpose, that thing that among the many to-dos of your days is what you must do.

Embrace the truth of your purpose each minute of your precious life...for how very true it is that life begins when you do.

If you would dream it
BEGIN it.

If you have an idea
OPEN it.

If there is longing
ACKNOWLEDGE it.

If there is mission
COMMIT it.

If there is daring
DO it.

If there is love
SPEAK it.

If there is resource
USE it.

If there is abundance
SHARE it.

Dreams are renewable.

They need not expire like an over-due library book. No matter our age, we can breathe new life into old dreams. In
fact, we have to renew our dreams, or else they will wither away altogether.

I don't want to spend my life so busy looking back that I lose interest in what lies ahead. As I age, I will have old memories. But
I also want a few young hopes.

After all, dreams are renewable.
