Who Cares?

Can't act.  Slightly bald.  Can dance a little.  ~  Screen tester on Fred Astaire


Did you ever have a dream?  You know the kind I mean.  The kind where you've never really told anyone what it was, but you' ve kept it safe in your heart for a long time.  It hasn't been fulfilled yet.  Maybe you think,  in your mind,  it never will be.  There are probably lots of reasons , you think.  Too expensive, too time consuming, I'm too old.  Or the dreaded,  " What will other people say?".  That is the main reason people don't go for their dream.  The embarrassment, or fear of failure in front of an audience.  "If I try that , what will my friends think?"  . " I can't dance, sing , play piano___________."(fill in the blank )  .  The above statement is quite ridiculous now.  We all know how that particular story turned out.  Perhaps he had even been rejected many times before.  But , he just kept dancing.  If you have a vision of where you want to be,  or a dream you want to chase,  don't let fear of failure , fear of what other people will say, or what your friends will think , stop you from reaching it.  Because honestly, if they are your friends, they'll say reach for the stars,  if you fail , they'll say " Who cares?",  and if you succeed they'll be in the stands cheering you !  Don't be afraid to try, to reach , to dream .   Will you be more sorry for the things you have done, or the things you WISH you had done?
