If Money Were No Object, What Would You Do?
Last week
I was invited to participate in a special two-day conference in beautiful
Sedona, Arizona. As typical with an event like this, there were several industry
speakers who shared relevant information, which of course, I found myself
taking pages of notes (yes, I still take notes!) This was an intimate group,
and in effort to break the ice, we were asked to share a little about ourselves
and if money were no object, what would
we do. Many people answered with travel or expensive purchases such as a professional
football team or a private island. While those answers were all creative, one
person’s answer stood out to me. If money
were no object, she would buy time.
Time does
seem to be an obstacle that many of us face…from a lack of enough time to
complete our everyday tasks…to the evitable race against time, for the person
who is facing a terminal illness with only weeks or days to live. The question, if money were no object, or perhaps we
should ask it like this: if there were no limitations, obstacles or struggles
in your way, what would you be capable of doing? What dreams would you pursue?
Where would you travel? Who would you seek out?
Take a
moment to dream…if money were no object,
what would your life look like? Would you still be afraid? Would you still
blame external obstacles for holding you back? Would you still be in the
relationship you are currently in? Or would you take the chance, knowing you
had something to fall back on?
In
reality, you do not need a full bank account to start pursuing our dreams. You
can begin right now, from the place you are. In reality, the only thing holding
you back, the only obstacle in your life capable of stopping you from living a
life of abundance…is you. (Ouch!) My mother used to say, “Where there is a
will, there is a way.” Where there is a dream, a hope, a passion…a way will be
made. All you have to do is dare to dream; dare to be wildly courageous in your
pursuit. So what would you do, if money
were no object?
Dare to
dream,
