Last night, I was up late, as I've been having some "sleeping issues" and weird dreams (the same dream every freaking night!) over the past few weeks. As I was chilling on Facebook, my brother from another mother, Juan Pablo, came online and we began chatting.
We began chatting about the Forever Young Project, Mt. Whitney, and some upcoming activities. I told him how emotionally and physically challenging Mt. Whitney had been. Juan asked me if I knew the reason why Mark and I had been able to successfully climb Mt. Whitney and why those involved in the Project have power and will to do some of the future activities. His answer: heart. He went on to tell me that having a big heart has lead to my success.
I began thinking about his overly kind words the rest of the night and today. I thought a lot about why I've been actually doing the Forever Young Project stuff. Has it been to challenge myself, to have fun, mend the heart, stay active, travel, help people? What is it? Well it is for all those reasons, but all of this comes from the same source: heart and dreams. Juan Pablo's right about my heart being behind my actions and motivating me to set my mind and complete the things things I want in life!
Last month I challenged you all and myself to stop dwelling on the negatives. This was a challenge for me, some weeks I did quite well, others (like this past week and weekend) I struggled and fell into the negativity and anger trap, but it's been a great challenge and for the most part a success!
With a new month, comes a new challenge for you, myself, your friends, family, lovers, whoever.... I realized that my heart and dreams are the engines behind the Forever Young Project, so I'm going to keep on trying to love life, family and friends, and follow my true dreams and make them happen! I challenge you to do the same: listen to and live by your heart; do the things you love; be passionate; follow your dreams; follow your heart; make the things in life you want to happen, actually happen!!!
Let's check in a month about the Forever Young Project "Heart and Dreams Challenge." Those who told me about your challenges over the past month, give me a call, email me, text me, bike with me, or whatever I would love to chat with you about how last month's "negativity challenge" went and how we're going to together make this month's challenge happen!
Much love and heart,
Justin Blake Young
