The next decade....what's in store?

Book of Possibilities

In the film Last Holiday, Queen Latifah had a book she called Book of Possibilities. This was a book where she placed information or pictures about all the things in life she would like to experience.

There was a holiday in Prague where some famous Chef worked; several pictures of meals she had created - she wanted to own her own restaurant/bistro; and a picture of her and a guy at work she liked, getting married. She worked at a retail store and didnt like the way she was treated, but she stuck wtih it anyway.

She had all these dreams, but instead lived in a box. It was only until she was diagnosed with a terminal disease that she started to pursue them.

Now this is what I am trying to get people to do...live your dreams NOW.

Why?

Cause you never know how much time you will be given. Heck....some people don't get any notice.

I remember in a training session in Summer 2004 I asked the groups this question...

"If you found out you had six months to live, how would you spend your life?" and then "Why aren't you doing those things now?" Kelly's sister looked at me with the look as if a light bulb had gone off in her head, and later that day she told me that I had stirred up some serious questions in her head.

So that's what I want to do here - ask all of you why are you waiting on a death sentence to do the things that you have always dreamed of?
