We can either watch life from the sidelines, or actively participate…Either we let self-doubt and feelings of inadequacy prevent us from realizing our potential, or embrace the fact that when we turn our attention away from ourselves, our potential is limitless.
—Christopher Reeve
This is one of my favorite quotes of all time! It is so true that for whatever reason we find that we are watching life pass us by, instead of actively engaging in it. Oh, it’s true that we are busy, crazily so most days, but what are we really doing? Are we accomplishing something meaningful(and I don’t mean making money, although that can certainly be meaningful?) are we making a difference, even in a small way, affecting somebody else’s life? Or are we just trudging through our days, moving one task to the next, just to start all over again tomorrow. I honestly believe we have greater potential than that.
What is self-doubt, fear or time and money excuses holding you back from? What could you do to live up to your highest potential and stretch your life?

I have always wanted to volunteer locally. I am going to stop waiting for the right time and just do it!
Now you have me thinking. What do I want to do that I have been putting off. I have always wanted to learn to sky dive. Maybe now is the time.
Wow! What an eye opener. Life goes by so quickly and i have realized you’re right. I have put all my dreams and goals at the bottom of the list. I think I m going to sign up for a course. Thanks
