If you stop dreaming, you die...

17 reasons you should follow your dreams (an excerpt of a post by Karol):

1. If you don’t follow your dreams you crush your dreams. Eventually you’ll stop dreaming altogether.
2. There are very few things worse than regret. What will you regret tomorrow that you didn’t do today?
3. Dreamers who took action have created everything around you.
4. Following your dreams doesn’t always turn out as planned, but that makes them even more memorable.
5. Personal growth happens when you stretch yourself. If you don’t follow your dreams you’re not stretching.
6. You want to be remembered. Everybody does. We remember those who follow their dreams.
7. Doing what you want attracts haters. This gives you a change to ignore them. They hate that more than anything. Keep doing what you do. (In case that wasn’t clear: Don’t ever engage haters. It’s not worth your time. Let them be losers.)
8. Your dreams and your actions define you. If you do what others tell you to do then you’re letting them define you.
9. Following your dreams gives you the opportunity to Ignore Everybody.
10. When people who look up to you see you following your dreams it will inspire some of them to follow their dreams.
11. When people who don’t even know you see you following your dreams it will inspire some of them to follow their dreams as well. (<– This is one of the reasons I write publicly on this website.)
12. Following your dreams makes you interesting.
13. You learn a lot from failure. Since you will fail on your path you’ll learn a lot too.
14. Someone who’s motivated to accomplish something great is instantly sexier.
15. There are no rules in life so why limit yourself to what everybody else is doing?
16. You might live forever, but you might also die tomorrow. Take a chance.
17. It’s better than watching TV.

I’m gonna continue following my crazy dreams. How about you?

Last World War I combat vet has died..

Associated Press: Last World War I combat vet dies in Australia

The man believed to have been the last living male veteran of World War I has died in Perth aged 110.

British-born Claude Choules served in the Royal Navy during World War I and witnessed the scuttling of the German fleet at Scapa Flow.

Mr Choules was born in 1901 and signed up for the Great War at just 14 years of age.

After the war, he moved to Perth and joined the Australian Navy, working as a demolition officer at the Fremantle Harbour during World War II. His military career lasted for 44 years.

Mr Choules died in his sleep in a Perth nursing home overnight.

The only other surviving WWI veteran is believed to be Britain's Florence Green, who served with the Royal Air Force in a non-combat role and is now 110 years old.

Crabs in a bucket...

There’s an old parable about crabs in a bucket.

If you put a crab in a bucket and it can climb out of that bucket, it will climb out. But if you put 2 crabs in the bucket, when one of the crabs tries to climb out, the other will pull it back in. Neither will ever escape. It doesn’t matter that it’s possible to escape, the crabs will hold each other back from doing so.
We’re no different than crabs. It’s a sad part of the society we’re living in. When one independent freedom seeker tries to “climb out of the bucket” the rest of the herd will try to pull him/her back in.

• Teachers are guilty of this. (Which is why traditional schooling is a waste.)
• The media is guilty of this. (Which is why limiting or eliminating your exposure to the news and other media is essential.)
• Your parents, family members and friends may very well be guilty as well. (They don’t do it on purpose, they’ve been conditioned by teachers and the media.)

I’m not without guilt. I’ve noticed myself doing this on occasion and it’s upsetting to think about. For example, somebody brings an idea to me and I immediately shoot it down. “Ehh, I don’t think that will work.” And you know what? It might not. But who am I to shoot someone down?

I’m supposed to be supportive of my friends, family, and business partners.

So from now on, if a friend comes to me with an idea, instead of shooting it down if I think maybe it’s not doable I’ll say “Hmm, I’m not sure I can help, but don’t listen to me. What steps can you take right now to make it happen? And how do you think I can help?”

Just think of the possibilities if we all supported those close to us in this way.

While it’s obvious that the majority of the population will never cross over from the dark side, I know because of the snowball effect that the more we support each other the more we’ll support each other.
