What Have You Always Wanted To Do?

An interesting blog I came across while researching for this post was titled the change blog. Created in 2007 by Peter Clemens, the site offers hundreds of articles about varying topics that are meant to inspire and make the reader think about their own life. The articles are submitted by various users and feature a multitude of topics such as dealing with change, or following your dreams. 

After looking through different articles and stories submitted by users, I read through an article called Music Changed My Mind by a user named Dr. Mike. He discusses how in his childhood he took guitar lessons, but overtime gave up on the instrument and gave his guitar away to a friend. Dr. Mike continues that in his adult years he had a continued desire to learn an instrument, so at the age of 39  he got himself a cheap guitar and began taking lessons. Mike continues that he is still an amateur at guitar, but the years of wanting to be able to play an instrument put his mind to rest and taught him to accomplish the desires that he has to learn and experience new things.

Dr. Mike's story isn't limited to learning an instrument or a desire to listen to music. His discussion of having an idea or a desire to do something is what resonates with the reader. He gives an example of following your dreams whether big or small. Mike closes off his story by listing what he learned from his own experience and many of these points can effect all of us.

Reading through the comments below the article, many users were able to relate to Dr. Mike's story. They expressed their own personal triumphs in doing things they had always wanted to. Some discussed learning instruments like Mike had, while others described their own personal stories.

So the next time an idea pops into your head about wanting to learn or experience something new, follow Dr. Mike's example and go for it!
