Is it Too Late to Pursue Your Dream?

“Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined.”

-- Henry David Thoreau

In my interview today with the ever insightful and charming, Patti Penn, of WJBC radio in Bloomington, Illinois, I was asked if people are ever too old to pursure their dream.


My answer was that, your dream is what that small voice inside you is telling you to do. That voice comes from your spirit, or intuition, or subconscious. It is trying to lead you to true happiness.


You pay a price to change your life and to pursue a dream, but you also pay a price to stay where you are. Americans pay $20 billion dollars a year to treat clinical depression. People completely wrapped up in what they are doing don’t have time to be depressed.


Carl Jung, the psychoanalyst, said that there is a 2-million year old man within us, who contains the cumulative knowledge of the entire human race. Jung confirms that we have access to his wisdom through our subconscious mind (in our dreams). The problem is that we have lost touch with our instincts buried buried wisdom. That’s why depression is rampant in our society.


As I mentioned in my article Billy Jack Goes BESERK Against Cancer, only 20% of the cancer that people contract can be attributed to external factors, such as asbestos and formaldehyde. The other 80% may be attributable to people being repressed from fully expressing what is inside them.


And, as I observed in my article Self Reliance, Following Your Heart, and Curing Fatal Disease, we sometimes develop migraine headaches, drink alcohol, take drugs, withdraw into a shell, or destroy our health, before we do the thing that our hearts tell us to do.


So, the answer to the question is, no, it's never too late to pursue you dream.


In fact, it's the only way to find true happiness.
