Many of us have heard the old axiom to the point we started believing it.  It puts us in a rocking chair far too early and at times causes us to stop learning.  An article in The New York Times disputes this theory, as does many other books/writings today.

Write down your current skills that you like about yourself, your lifestyle, your employment.  If you are not doing what you want (barring a flight to Mars), then dream a little.

Then dream a lot!  Where do you want to go?  What do you want when you get there?

Plan.  Make a roadmap of how to get from where you are to where you want to be.

Ignite your passion.  Kick in afterburners, light your fire, and get moving.

You may not get exactly where you want to go, but sitting there thinking you can't will certainly cause you to miss the opportunity.  Let me leave you with another axiom.  "Can't never could until they tried."
