By way of reminder…
Your biggest regrets at 90 will NOT be what you’ve done with your life. You will frame your biggest regret as something you wanted to get done and never got to, or got to and NEVER finished.
Recipe for avoiding? Simple and rare.
Stop sabatoging yourself. You know what you really want but for many it’s just a fuzzy image that you don’t ACT toward because you can’t quite see it. You’ve blocked it with so many other good things, alright things, important things, and things that you feel responsible for, that you see those things with crystal clarity and your big dream grows more faint, fuzzy, and further away.
Remember Clive talking. One of my favorite C.S. Lewis quotes is as follows:
“Putting first things first doesn’t make second things less…”
Clear away your obstacles. Stop telling yourself that you’re stuck. Bring your Big Dream into focus until it looks like it’s as close to you as your car is to the curb. Of course it’s NOT, but your brain doesn’t know that. Choose a “baby step” toward your big dream and your brain will reward you as if you’ve just taken a giant step toward the moon.
And, momentum is a beautiful thing.
Stop the block. Start with a baby step. Hey, I’m talking to Y.O.U.!!
Go…
BUILT TO LEAD 
Toto. . . here’s a BTL-style quote to act on way before we’re 90:
“…the voice we should listen to most as we choose a vocation is the voice that we might think we should listen to LEAST, and that is the voice of our own GLADNESS. What can we do that makes us the gladdest…? Is it making things with our hands out of wood, or stone or paper or canvas? Or is it making something we HOPE like truth out of words? Or is it making people laugh or weep in a way that cleanses their spirit? I believe that if it is a thing that makes us truly glad, then it is a good thing AND it is our thing AND it is the calling voice that we were made to answer with our lives.”

Ship, baby. Ship.
