Are you ‘living your dream’? One young man would say his dream is to be a professional golfer, walking the fairway and competing with a pro like Phil Mickelson. Another person might say his dream is to write a best selling novel. A third person might say her dream is retiring and having time to crochet an afghan for her great grandsons. Most of us have dreams. Have you considered your dreams lately?
I recently interviewed a golfer (my husband David) who shared this: “we need to recognize the importance of a dream is not always about attaining the goal but the ‘journey’ along the way.” He told of a match play golf game where he was down 3 shots and was able to ‘come back' and score well to end the 18th hole tied. During the 2nd playoff hole, he said he was so nervous that he could barely breathe. He found the competition great fun and was elated that he scored well and won in spite of his nervousness. While the end result (the win) was gratifying, his play along the way (the journey) was significant.
Do you have a dream? Are you enjoying the journey along the way? Or are you sitting in your chair wishing your life was different? It’s your choice.
