Your Life: The is Your Greatest Show
What is it about the movie “The Greatest Showman” that gets our feet tapping, heart racing, and mind daring to dream the impossible? It’s the ultimate rags to riches story, a man who had nothing, who risked it all for love and living the life of his dreams, and he succeeded.
A man we wish we had the courage to be.
Sure, it’s just a story, we all know it and that’s the problem. Most of us will get inspired to live an extraordinary life, to awaken the dream within, but most of us will do nothing about it. Most of us will think it’s impossible to live an extraordinary life. Most of us will think it’s not really worth the effort in trying since failure is inevitable.
Most of us are wrong.
Failure is only inevitable when we refuse to try. When we refuse to get up off the couch and live the extraordinary life we were created to live.
Maybe some of us want to live that life, but don’t know how. And that’s okay. I’m there with you, trying, failing, learning, and discovering, but what sets me apart from the dreamers, is that I’m taking action towards my dreams (after some stumbling now and then,) and I’m just dumb and stubborn enough to believe that if I don’t quit, I will achieve the extraordinary.
It may not be how I envision it. My quest for extraordinary may take me down paths I never dreamed of going, but that’s okay. Scary, yes, but what’s scarier is a life only dreamt and not lived.
Are you content with the ordinary? To wake up to the same thing day after day? Or do you want more? Do you want to live the life you were created to live so you can give life to those still dreaming?
This is your greatest show! Your life. How will you choose to live it? How will you be remembered?
“It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live.”— J.K. Rowling
