It’s Memorial Day Weekend in the USA and although it is a time set aside to honour those who gave their lives for freedom, I felt the words Phillip wrote about looking back to move forward remind us of our possibly missed opportunities. There is much we can learn about our dreams by looking at where we have been and how it has helped us to arrived at the place we are now.

Below is an except from Philip Humbert’s TIPS for Extraordinary Living!

The Memorial Days of Your Life

“…As you celebrate this Memorial Day, what are the key dates
in your own life? As you look back, do you mark the date
you graduated, or the date you launched your business? Do
you mark the date you set your own course, and risked
everything to pursue your dreams?

What are your personal Memorial Days? Have
you used your freedoms, your talent, your dreams and
abilities to create the life you want? Some dates are
specific and easy to recall, others may not have seemed
special but in retrospect, we know they were turning
points. We all have these Memorial Days and they are
important.

Honour them. Honour yourself! Freedom and opportunity only
exist if they are used! And more than that, one of the
ways we fuel our dreams and empower the future is by
“borrowing” confidence from the past. Celebrate your past
achievements and use them to know, deep inside, that you
can boldly go wherever your wish in the future.”
