Tonight I was laying in bed reading a book I’ve probably read 5 times.
I had the TV on for background noise and I decided to stop and watch this movie that was coming on called “The Last Holiday” with Queen Latifah. I’ve never seen it, and what really caught my attention was the “book of possibilities” that the character kept in a drawer in her kitchen.
To say I was intrigued would be an understatement. You see almost 3 years ago now I created what I call a “dream book”. In it are pages of things that I love or that inspire me. Pictures of places I want go, how I want to decorate my home. Quotes. Every page is a vision that the Lord has given me. And He as of late has been urging me to add more.
Now back to the movie. The basic premise is that this woman finds out through a fluke that she only has 3 weeks to live. She quits her job, cashes in her life savings, her bonds and takes off on the vacation of a life time to Prague. She learns how to snowboard. She gets every kind of massage you can imagine, she meets people of “high caliber” and eats dinner with them every night.
She lives her life to the fullest. With no regard of the risks she might be taking or even caring if she’s going to get hurt in the process.
Not that I want to spoil the movie for you, but it turns out she has been misdiagnosed. Do you think she went back to the blase life she had before??? Heck no! She continued to live her dreams out. The most powerful picture at the end of the movie is her changing the title of her book from “Book of Possibilities” to the “book of REALITIES” WOW!
This movie had me going through my dream book again, and I decided to take pictures of some of the pages and the things on them. I even have a whole “dream corner” in my room it has my book, a box full of things, and a sign about my favoritest place in the whole wide world. I took a picture of that as well.
So here’s my question. What is it that’s holding you back from dreaming? Or if you are dreaming what is holding you back from stepping out into it?? Life is short people! We don’t know how long we have! DREAM BIG! LIVE LARGE!!!! GO FOR IT!!!!
