Do you have a dream hiding within you? – Something that you have always wanted to do or to make happen?
Action towards your dream is the same as starting a journey. It begins with the first step you take. Just think how much closer to your dream you would be today if you had acted on it when you first dreamt it!
How will you feel a year from now if you do not take that first step now?
Our greatest regrets are not about what we have done; they are about what we did not do.
Begin the journey to reach your dream today!

It is never too late to dream. No matter what your age, today is the first day of the rest of your life! Why not use it to imagine a fulfilling future?
Imagine all that you would like to do, see, learn and experience. Open all of your senses. What would you like to touch, feel, smell, see, hear?
What do you want your life to look like in the future? What we imagine, think about and visualize in our thoughts becomes our reality. – And only you control your thoughts.
What you say to yourself is as important as what you say to others. When you have happy, positive thoughts, you become happy.
Take time now to imagine the life that you want. Yes, it comes back to the image of the glass half full or half empty. Whether you are 10 or 110, how you live the rest of your life depends on you!

– It is never too late to dream –
“If everyone tells you it’s possible, then you are not dreaming big enough.” – Bertrand Piccard & André Borschberg
Watch this 360 video about Solar Impulse, Explorers Of The Impossible.
The vision was to fly an airplane using only renewable energy. There is no noise, no pollution and no fuel. It is new technology. 100% renewable energy.
“When people think something is impossible they stimulate you to find new solutions and be creative… This is what drives us to show the power of a dream, the power of perseverance.”
I was struck by the pilots’ comments that they purposely went to experts in other fields when designing/building the airplane so that no preconceived ideas would limit them (for example the huge sheets of carbon were created by shipbuilders, not the airplane manufacturers).
“People thought we were crazy. It was a nice feeling. When people tell you it is possible, it means you are not ambitious enough.”
They believed in this dream, the vision, and understood that every question had a solution.
“They did not know it was impossible, so they did it.”
Believe in the power of dreams!

Life moves one step at a time. Something I learned years ago while working with children with very special needs. You need to recognize the little successes that keep us moving in the right direction.
Even though we sometimes think we are off course, my experience proves time and time again that we never really are. We simply are stopping along the path to smell the roses or turn over a rock. And from each little detour we learn something precious for the future.
You are moving towards what you want with little steps.
Enjoy the journey.

How You Dream
All life should be a Palm Beach
With perpetual sunshine,
Where goals are all within reach
And high spirits are so fine.
The Palm fronds would be waving,
The sea an azure blue,
Every picture worth saving
Therein the wisest clue:
The you can be eternal
It’s in how you dream…
In summer, spring, hibernal
You’ll have high AgeEsteem.

Bonnie’s Dream
Be Both Brave and Bountiful
Or Outrageous: that’s O.K.!
Never think you’re Naught or Null,
No other is like you, oh Nay!
If you follow Bonnie’s dream
Every day is Age Esteemed.

Movies are good for us. They help to enhance our Age Esteem.
- Movies allow us to dream,
- To visit far away places,
- To meet new people and join in rare experiences.
- Movies tickle our emotions,
- Challenge our listening skills and enlarge our vocabulary.
- They teach us, train us and entertain us.
- They create social occasions for us to catch a film with friends.
- And they keep us up with new trends.
Why not enjoy a good movie today?
Realize a dream: Is there something you’ve always wanted to do but thought you couldn’t or the time didn’t seem right? A major birthday is a great occasion to act on that dream!
- Write a wish list. On a sheet of paper write “AgeEsteem Wish List” and write down every wish that comes to mind. Nothing is too wild. Let ideas flow without censor. Keep going until you’ve written at least 50 wishes.
- Choose three of these wishes to act on during this birthday year. Have you always wanted to learn to tango? Sign up for lessons. Age is no obstacle.
Refer back to your list every three months to put a new dream into action.
