“A man is not old until regrets take the place of dreams.” (John Barrymore) I have been asked the question on many occasions; “When should you stop pursuing a dream?” Is there an age cutoff, should a health issue stall or stop you, maybe just participate in someone else’s dream…? I always felt you should pursue a dream until the day you die, but this quote from John Barrymore really makes a ton of sense to me. If we allow mistakes, shortcomings, our past, or any such thing to hinder us, we have invited regret to stunt our growth and extinguish our DREAMS. Many of you have heard this old saying, “pick yourself up by the bootstraps, dust yourself off and try again.” I will say again and again, “the DREAM has possibility as long as we try!”
