You can do it. Do it now.

Had the pleasure of speaking with two people, a former colleague and my mechanic's dad, about dreams they have. One wants to be a snowboarder and the other wants to travel through China for 4-5 months to see his homeland (he moved to the US when he was 7).

The funny thing with both conversations was that they both have the means to do what they want. The former colleague is in a DINK (dual-income no kids) situation where both earners make six figure incomes. The mechanic owns his own shop, sets his own hours, and has a son that has already taken over a great deal of responsibility in the business. They both expressed their desires so vividly and clearly that there is no reason to doubt their veracity. So from an objective standpoint, the only thing preventing both of these fine people from enjoying the life that they want is simply choosing that life. So the question arises, what is preventing them from making that choice?
