Life Dreams?

I have been reading one Pastors life goals, the list included things such as:

Go to a Superbowl
Go to a Packers game at Lambeau Field
Ride a Mule into the Grand Canyon
Take a helicopter ride over the Grand Canyon
Raft a Class V River
Go Cave Tubing in South America
Go Hang Gliding
Do a personal retreat at a monastery
Spend a night in a tree house hotel
Spend a night on a house boat
Go cliff jumping
Take a Hot Air Balloon Ride
Celebrate 50th Wedding Anniversary
Live to meet my Great Grandchildren
Celebrate an Anniversary in Italy
Celebrate an Anniversary in the Caribbean

I found his list quite challenging. What does it take to dream like that, to be willing to take the risk to dream and chase these kinds of experiences? Consider;

“Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far they can go.” – T.S. Eliot

“If no one ever took risks, Michaelangelo would have painted the Sistine floor.” – Neil Simon

“It’s nice to at least once a year have a near-death experience.” – Mark Allen

“That which does not destroy me makes me stronger.” – Neitzche

“Only those who dare to fail greatly can ever achieve greatly.” – Robert Kennedy

“To dare is to lose one’s footing momentarily. To not dare is to lose oneself.” – Soren Kierkegaard

What are your life dreams and goals, what is holding you back?
