If Not Now, When?

"A barrier is of ideas, not of things." Mark Caine


I'm a big fan of music and my likes span several genres.  One of my favorite rock bands for some while now is a band called Incubus.  I just bought their latest album and the title really caught my attention:

 If Not Now, When?

Incubus
The title is very relevant to this blog and my life.


Everyday is about taking action.  
Everyday is about creating something I am passionate about.



If you don't do what you dream of doing, who will?

How can this world be better if you haven't left us your best?

How true it is that no matter what you decide to do there is someone who tells you you're wrong. My hubby & I are dealing with this very thing regarding a change in jobs. We are meeting opposition from a family member and it's difficult.

Thanks for this post! We are pressing on until a door closes!

Thanks for stopping by the S&R weekend hop! Love this post! Dream big and chase your dreams! Don't let naysayers keep you down. I'm sure my husband is a fan of Incubus. I've been listening to all kids music and christian music since my kids were born, so . . .

Wow! Great post. It is so true and is very close to what I have been thinking about myself lately. I haven't listened to Incubus in awhile but I was definitely a fan when they first came out. I will have to check out their new album for sure.
