If It Doesn't Have a Heartbeat...

"Giving up on our dreams may be one of the hardest decisions we have to make in life. And even if you live a Simple Life, you still have to face the fact that some dreams, passions, and goals just aren’t meant to be. "

I’m going to be harsh here. When something no longer has a heartbeat, it is dead. We can try to get it moving. We can perform CPR. We can wish, and hope, and keep pushing and trying, but the truth of the matter is – it just can’t be revived. 

But before you give up all hope, not all dreams and passions no longer have a heartbeat. Some of them are just sitting on a shelf waiting for a chance for revival. These are the dreams that are breathing shallowly, but still have enough fight in them to hang on.

The key is to understand the difference.  Those dreams and passions that no longer have a heartbeat are the ones that weren’t truly meant to be. The obstacles are too high, too wide, and too deep to find a way around. This may mean it’s too costly. It may be physical or medical limitations apply. You can’t fly an aircraft with poor eyesight, and claustrophobia and scuba diving don’t always mix. "

We all have had dreams we just can't seem to bring to reality. In this podcast, listen in to learn the difference, when to keep your dreams alive, and when to let them go.
