Inspiration - What You Can Learn From Country Music

I have never been a big fan of country music but there is a song that Garth Brooks sings called 'The River' that has some very inspiring lyrics. Here is a portion of what the song says:

You know a dream is like a river, ever changing as it flows.
And a dreamer's just a vessel that must follow where it goes.
Trying to learn from what's behind you and never knowing what's in store
makes each day a constant battle just to stay between the shores.
And I will sail my vessel 'til the river runs dry.
Like a bird upon the wind, these waters are my sky.
I'll never reach my destination if I never try,
So I will sail my vessel 'til the river runs dry.
Too many times we stand aside and let the water slip away.
To what we put off 'til tomorrow has now become today.
So don't you sit upon the shore and say you're satisfied.
Choose to chance the rapids and dare to dance the tides.

That last verse is where most people miss it. Do you have dreams that you haven't dared to fulfill? You only have one life to live so make it the best life that you can. Don't let your dreams die or fade away because you were afraid to take a chance.

What is it on the inside of you that you want to do but are afraid to do it because it's outside of your comfort zone? Begin to pursue whatever that is and don't stop until you are doing what you know you were created to do. Live your dreams, live your passions, and live a life that is full and complete.
