Never Too Old to Dream

One one-hundredth of a second, separating you from your dream.  How would you feel? How would you react?

There was nothing I could change.  I did my best. I set a new record for myself…  You are never too old to dream.

That was the response Olympic Champion Dara Torres gave to the reporter when asked what she would tell her now 2 year old daughter about her experience winning the 2008 Olympic Silver Medal. Like the competitor to Michael Phelps, Ms. Torres missed Olympic Gold by one one-hundredths of a second.  The life wisdom she shares applies to us all.

• Live in the moment.
• Don’t put an age limit on your dreams.
• When you are more mature, you see things from a different perspective.
• Believe in yourself.

Randy Paush Legacy

At the young age of 48, Randy Pausch’s valiant battle against pancreatic cancer is over.  He died July 25, 2008, at his family home.

His spirit and legacy will live on through his family and the life philosophy shared in his book, The Last Lecture.  So many were touched by his story, we included the Randy Pausch videos earlier this year. He was authentic, charasmatic, and left this world a better place.

Life is such a precious gift. Do you have a dream left unfulfilled? A goal you think is out of your reach? None of us has the promise of tomorrow. Seize today.
