Dream

Morning, my peeps. Morning, my peeps. Morning, my peeps. It's morning. It's Tuesday. Somehow I want it to be Thursday. It's morning. It's Tuesday. Somehow I want it to be Thursday. What's up, Nat? Nana! Hi there, Nana. Look at Tammy. Tammy's up early. Tammy, you're supposed to be working. Haha, good morning, guys. Thank you so much for joining. I appreciate that. Can you hear me clearly? I got my little AirPods on today. Alright, so I know I generally say that I'm not going to keep you long, but today I'm really not going to. I'm going to really try to be shorter because I know I have a tendency to get long-winded. So today, this morning, I want to talk about something that, that I've been working through myself. And again, like I said, I don't want any of this to come across as preachy I just want it to be something that, you know, lessons that I'm learning and ways that I'm improving my life and the things that I'm doing. So this morning I want to talk about dreaming. There's KJNA 10. So I want to talk about dreams, and the reason why I want to talk about that is because I am on this path of becoming, and I know it's really wordy and life-coachy to say the best version of myself, but it's true. And so I have dreams. And as you know, I've been a high school theater teacher for 24 years, and for 24 years I have encouraged, inspired, and motivated my acting students, my performers, to go out there and, you know what, really go for your dream. And meanwhile, I sort of haven't done that. I mean, not that I haven't enjoyed teaching. I've loved teaching, you know, but there came a time in my life where I realized I just, I just wasn't satisfied anymore because I always knew that I had more untapped potential within me that I wanted to, to get out there. And there comes a time in life when I think when you get to a certain age, you stop dreaming. Because again, when kids start growing up, they are invincible. They can do anything, you know, just like that teenager who just starts driving, and they can text and they can talk to their friends in the backseat, and they can do all this stuff because they don't think anything's gonna happen. Because again, when you're younger, you're fearless and you think you still have the world at your fingertips. Well, that's still true as you age, and it took me a long time to realize that because I was thinking that Oh God, my clock is ticking, it's ticking. And something my brother-in-law said that really just struck a chord with me, my brother-in-law William. So one day he said, so he said, you know, in life we have more years behind us than we have ahead of us. Now he's 48, 49, and to have that perspective on your life. And that just really hit me like a ton of bricks. And I was like, I can't, I cannot walk through each day thinking that tomorrow, next week, within 10 years, you know, because I'm going for 100. How about you? I'm shooting to be 100. And you know what? I'm gonna still feel good. And so I just want to instill in you and maybe just make you think about What are some dreams that you still have that you've given up on? What are some things that you want to change in your life because you just feel like that window has closed? You feel like the bus took off already and it's just too late. And as long as we're living and breathing, it's never too late. So what I want you to do right now is I want to challenge you to think, what is one thing that I've always wanted to do? That I can start taking active steps to doing today? So today in the comments, I want you to really think, like right now, my, you know, everybody who's on right now, I want you to think, what is one thing, one goal? It can be that you've always wanted to lose 35 pounds, you wanted to, you know, audition for America's Got Talent, You wanted to start your own business, whatever it is. I want you to really think, what is that dream? Type it in the comments, and then tomorrow I'm going to ask you, what is the first step that you are now committing to taking in order to make that happen? Because as long as we wake up and we have breath in our body, in our lungs, we have time, even if time is Today we have time, and so we're gonna have the mentality that today is the first day of the rest of our lives, and we're gonna live it with so much potential, with so much zest, loving life and continuing to go for our dreams. No matter if you're 50, 60, hell, even if you're 89, there's still something left in you that you want to accomplish. Let me know what that is tomorrow. Okay guys, so I think I was pretty quick today. So thank you so much for joining live, and I will talk to you guys tomorrow. Remember to comment though. I want to see your comments. So I haven't seen any comments yet. Can I stay on maybe another, another minute or so? What you got, Tammy? Show me something, Tammy. Even if it's something small, just something small. Okay, tomorrow. Oh, thinking. Okay, I know this is hard. This is hard to go. Let me just come up with that right on the spot. So let me know tomorrow because I'm going to ask every day what this is because I want us to be supportive of one another. I want us to have each other's back and I want us to hold each other accountable. So if that's something you want to take action on, let me know and I'm going to be like a little gnat. A little gnat right here on your— in your ear, on your shoulder, going— not my friend Natalie, but like an actual gnat, like the bug, like the small mosquito going, "Boo!" Okay, all right guys, happy Tuesday and love you all, and I'll see you later. Later, Instagram!
