Today I'm recovering from a migraine and coming down with something else so I can't guarantee I'm going to make any sense. Therefore, read at your own risk :).
NASA is celebrating its 50th birthday as a government agency which merits pause for thought in my book. It's amazing to think that someone's vision to travel into space became a reality. Really. In many ways I take space exploration for granted, when it's a reminder that (as cliché as it sounds) anything is indeed possible.
If we all took the 'anything is possible' approach to our lives and our careers what would the world look like? Don't get me wrong, I recognize that 'dreams' are all relative and don't have to be as big and bold as walking on the moon. I just wonder how many dreamers get stuck because they don't know how to bring their dreams to fruition.
Moreover, what can we do to motivate each other?
I know I'm inspired by lots of people, particularly my colleagues (some of whom I'm looking at right now). There are many people here at Experience who juggle family and work while still managing to pursue other dreams like running marathons, traveling around the world, volunteering in Africa, snowboarding and more. There is also a guy who is differently-abled and relies on a walker to get around. His commute to work each day is like serial obstacle course that would send most of home for good. Yet, he's here each morning eagerly sharing his daily struggle just to show up to work, like a great adventure!

It's unlikely I will every invent something that changes the way people live or travel to space. But, I do feel like I am living my own little dream each day. Do you?
