…can haunt you for the rest of your life.”

No, I didn’t make it up, it’s from the 2005 movie, “Robots.” We just watched it for the first time this week and there are some great themes in this movie.

The basic story is about a young inventor, who has big dreams of growing up to be a great inventor and making something of his life.

If you haven’t seen the movie, it’s really cute and you can read the synopsis over at IMDB.

One scene, in particular, resonated loud and clear with all of us. Rodney was about to give up on his dream and was on the phone with his dad, expressing his disappointment with himself for not accomplishing what he had set out to do.

His dad, who was getting older and ill said, “No son, you can never disappoint me….

Don’t give up son because the dreams you don’t fight for are the ones that will haunt you for the rest of your life.”

How Many Have Already Given Up?

• How many people do you know have already given up on their dreams?
• How many people do you know just exist from day to day without really living?
• How many people do you know that live their lives on the couch with the remote?

Too many people get bogged down in what society tells us we should and shouldn’t do, get so caught up in just existing from day to day, that many have forgotten how to live.

It’s Not Supposed To Be Easy

Fighting for your dreams isn’t supposed to be easy. THAT is what makes it worth fighting for, the lessons we learn along the way and the person we become.

What about you and your dreams?

Have you given up? Do you know what you need to do to make YOUR DREAM a reality? Fighting for your dream isn’t always about money. For most people, the cause is much bigger than than just about money.

Don’t Ever Give Up!

When my sons were in high school, we used to talk a lot about what they thought they wanted to do with their lives. The biggest piece of advice of ever gave them was to never go through life with “What if…?”

Someday, we’re all going to wake up one day and be in our eighties or beyond. There’s no escaping that. So, let’s not wake up that day and say to ourselves, “What if?”

“What if I didn’t give up? What if I took just one more step? What if I truly gave it all I have and pursued my dreams?

What if I fought for my dream and won?

Now, that’s a question I don’t ever want to think “what if?”

How about you?
