I Wanna........

What do ya wanna be? When you were little you probably wanted to be an astronaut, or a policeman or a fireman or a teacher, doctor, lawyer, butcher, baker, candlestick maker. Maybe you wanted to be a Rock Star or a famous actor or the President of the United States of America. What do ya wanna be now? Years have passed, times have changed......what about your wannas? Are they still the same? I'm betting not. But here is the question of the day. Are you going after your new wannas? Are you still daydreaming about being that 'someone' you're not. And if you are still star gazing at that goal, what's holding you back? "O, I don't have time." "O, that would cost to much money to go back to school." " O, I'm....way....way.....way... toooooooooooooo old to change."O,O,O,O,O,O,O,O,O,O,O,O,BALONEY!" Don't you wonder that at the end of the day, your life, your existence, there might be a small kernel of regret that perches on your shoulder and whispers.....If Only. So here's the thing......if there is nothing you want to pursue, then great! I truly mean that. You are comfortable in your own skin and you should be not only content, but settled. BUT, if there is a niggle, an itch, a squirm in your soul that says.....Hey, I wish I could be,do,achieve that...then go get it! Brass Ring.....Stars.....Gold. You may not win the race, get the job, write the book, star in the movie, or become the the Leader of the Free World, but by gosh, you will have tried. And friends, that small kernel on your shoulder will not be regret, but will instead be pride. The pride of trying. The pride of over extending. The pride of being the one who reached and lived life the way it should be lived.
