live my dreams

so a friend of mine recently joined this webpage and I enjoyed reading his 43 things, so I thought I’d start a list of my own. Actually, when I was a little girl I used to make these types of lists all the time… so why stop now?
The first question I was asked after setting up my account was “what do you want to do with your life?” talk about starting off with a big question. So I thought about it and gave the simplest answer… to live my dreams.

Last night, I decided, “Fuck everything, I’m going to do what I want and NO ONE is going to fucking stop me.”

So far, so good. :P

My dream is to become a full time writer. I’d love to be famous from it, and/or rich, but that’d be a bonus.

OK, I lied. Really, what I want to do is be a full time, bestselling author.

My sub goal is to get “The King’s Hand” published – a book I’ve doodled on a few times but not really gotten into writing. The only thing I’m really nervous about is my parents reading it. Snerk

My body looks so much better now:). I bought new shoes to congratulate myself.

Right now, the only one I can think of is to be like 10 pounds skinnier. That’s just sad.

Need to focus more on the important stuff

I am 49 yrs. young…
I have so many dreams but fear holds me back.
I want to find the courage to live my dreams.
I need to find it now, not tomorrow.
No more excuses, no more putting it off until tomorrow.
Tomorrow is here … I must live now !!!

Washington said those lessons are ones he tries to impart to his own four children.

“We do what we have to do, so that we can do what we want to do,” he said. “It doesn’t happen the other way around. You pay now or you pay later. You got to pay. That’s life, you know, and, and there are no shortcuts.”

I am going to live by this rule now, pay up now, or pay up later. No more shortcuts.

compromising my dreams for others. My talents have been hiding in the shadows.

NOW.

That’s what I’m doing – living my dreams, tearing down walls and barriers, confronting fears and taking authority over them, shedding pride, giving things to God and letting Him take my burdens.

What would I do if I knew I couldn’t fail? Go for it just like I’m doing now.

Will it be worth it? Yes, absolutely because I would rather die living my dreams than to regret not going for it.
