Live the dream

I was at a fashion event fundraiser enjoying a conversation with a beautiful woman with a calm and engaging manner, an inner confidence and ability to connect – and discovered she was 93 years of age!

This woman did not allow the number of her age, dictate her destiny.

She informed me she was still very active, enjoying functions, visiting family, still drives and that she had plenty more to achieve in her lifetime.

It reinforced the potential of our human bodies when we engage our human spirit to allow life.

So easy is it to get caught up in the boundaries, rules and expectations placed on us – not only by society but by our own minds.

It seems this in itself begins a cycles of decline where we reduce our attempts and energy for new experiences.

She was a powerful inspiration and reminder that it is possible to engage life with passion and purpose no matter the age of the body you are in.

This message was reinforced when I viewed an inspirational video produced by Sean Stephenson, who highlights what is possible for a body with limitations, when the focus in on what can be done rather than can’t.

So, if there is something you are interested in, passionate about or enjoy – discover how the body you are in, can connect with that in some way.

It could generate the shift from ‘dream the dream’ to ‘live the dream’.

Enjoy your fortnight,
