Introduction

I wrote this book in the hope that it will help you to achieve your dreams in life and not let life pass you by without doing the things you so desire. Many people have desires in life but never make an effort to fulfill them. How many times have you heard someone say, One of these days, I would like to take piano lessons/cooking classes/art classes/fly a plane/join a spa/lose weight/take an exotic trip, but never take the steps to make it happen? Many people become sick, disabled, or even die without fulfilling their dreams.

We all have regrets as we look back over the years, wishing we had done many things that we failed to carry out.

Life is short, so now is the time to take the opportunities and do everything you have always dreamed of. God tells us in Psalms 37:4, Delight thyself also in the LORD: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.

WHAT KEEPS US FROM IT?

In the next few chapters, I am going to share with you some of the things that I have discovered that keep us from going forth with our desires in life. I believe that reading this book will motivate you to step out and start moving toward those desires. You are the only one who is keeping it from happening!
