I heard a quote today that was made by a member of the US Olympic team yesterday or today at the Olympic Games in Beijing. It was Dara Torres, a member of the team who at age 41 is the oldest swimmer to be swimming at the games. She said, after winning a silver medal, Do not put an Age Limit on Your Dreams.

There is so much truth and wisdom in those remarks. So often, we allow ourselves to give up on cherished dreams or goals because time has passed us by. We no longer keep trying to accomplish our dreams and instead settle for second best. Yesterday I just turned 57, and I am on my way to being 60. One might believe (particularly me) that my dreams are no longer something that I can accomplish and that I should settle for second best. I have decided that I will no longer settle for second best, but that I will accomplish my dreams. I hope that my children and friends also obtain their dreams, and never give up, never give in.
