Week #192 – Don’t let your dreams gather dust!
It’s May…and my social media newsfeed is buzzing once again with prom pictures, college acceptance announcements, graduations, post-grad certifications, and new job transitions!
Dreams of all shapes and sizes are coming true…every day.
(Which means it’s time to revisit an oldie but a goodie from graduation seasons past!)
It’s Graduation Season
Soon, high schoolers and college students everywhere will be leaving the safety of their nests and setting out on lives of their own making. Graduation cards will be filled with the phrase “follow your dreams!” But do we really mean that? (I mean, we must…because no graduation card ever wishes the recipient a life of quiet desperation, right?)
What’s your dream?
Are you chasing your dreams? Or are they gathering dust? Do you even remember what they were? Or when you may have set them aside?
Your Happyness Challenge for the week ahead: Don’t let your dreams gather dust! As we celebrate the graduations and bright futures of high schoolers and college students everywhere — take a moment to remember where you were headed and who you thought you were going to be. Are you you still on the right track? Have you followed your dreams? Or maybe your old dreams lead you to new dreams? Or did life or circumstances derail you? Don’t despair…you’ve graduated life with honors! Put on a cap and gown, play Pomp & Circumstance, and celebrate who you are today and all that you’ve accomplished. Then dust off those dreams…and set your sails for a new horizon! Because it’s never to late and you’re never too old. The best day to get started on your dreams is TODAY!
To misquote Henry David Thoreau: “Go confidently in the direction of your dreams! Live the life you imagined!”
