Hi Gordon,

A great - and thought provoking - post!

In my opinion, too many people are just reacting to life - instead of creating their own lives.

Life is something truly special... We only get a few short years on this wonderful blue planet of ours.

Life is not something to be squandered!

I am a strong believer in pursuing your dreams (as long as it doesn't harm others).... When I am gasping my final breaths, I want to look back on my life and feel content with what I created.

Sometimes I think about that moment.... It will come, whether I think about it or not. It may sound a bit morbid, but I want to look back and know that I created a life that was special in a good way.... I have partially done some of those things, but I still have a long way to go!

Thanks Gordon... You are a personal inspiration to me (and I know you are to many others too)....
