Have you ever reflected on your life and experienced feelings of regret? Even in the mildest case, one typically spends at least a few moments traveling down the hypothetical road of 'what if.' If you haven't, then now is the perfect time to fail. We had a candid conversation about the importance of embarking upon the unknown before life convinces that there's only one path to success (college... 40 years at a job...retire). It was all so simple when we were bachelors with no other dependents. If an idea sounded great (or just good enough), we'd take the leap of faith without a second thought. Then came family life, which is remarkable; however, many of us automatically suppress our dreams once we enter this phase. Why is that? More importantly, what are we teaching our children about the importance of pursuing their dreams? Lastly, for those who have abandoned their dreams, how do they explain that to the children? At some point, the children will value what we do much more than what we say. Surely, we have their best interest in mind, and want them to believe that they can accomplish anything. That's a tough script to sell when our walk doesn't match our talk. We highly recommend that you consume the entire episode for the best results.
