I live in Austin, Texas. I finished college (B.A) 4 weeks before I turned 50. I have several goals and do not feel old yet. I'm not sure if I'm delusional or just immature, but whatever it is, the key to achieving anything is through discipline. That translates into cooking your own food (can be therapeutic, fun and cost-saving,)making your bed, cleaning your home, consistently exercising (everyday is best) and basically just taking care of business. I heard the great actress, Ruth Gordon (died in 1986) in an interview. She defined discipline as this, "begin with your underwear drawer." I think I finished my 1st goal by taking care of the basics. It's not that hard and it is just a matter of creating good habits to achieve your desires. Keep up the good stuff Craig, we all need it! I am a 53 year old mother of two grown daughters.

Between his initial “Life happened” and the following “It’s not great; it’s crap.”, that was a really sad beginning.

What a wonderful thing… in that one hour you gave that man the courage to change his life. The dream was still there, he’d just let it get too weak to do anything.

My family often hassled me for being “a dreamer – not a realist” when I was growing up, and I’ll never let that go. Your dreams keep you going through it all… You can live a life of magic and inspiration, or a life of quiet desperation. No thanks on the latter.

Have an awesome day!

If only we could all apply this story to our lives, the world would be a better place. I once heard a saying - 'to get the most out of life you need to be child-like', not childish but child-like. Have no fear, chase what is in your heart. I think this story is a fine example of this thinking! Sorry for the short story comment!<br />Regards <br />Craig Wilson What a fantastically uplifting story! If only we could all apply this story to our lives, the world would be a better place.
