Over the weekend, I spoke to a family friend from back home. I hadn’t spoken to this person in maybe 8 years. It was a good conversation. We did some catching up. 

I was really nice to hear from them but after the phone call, I realized something. My little conversation with someone who knew me back when I was shaping my dreams reminded me of my dreams.

Just by talking to someone from my past - who has always been supportive of me - helped me to remember some of the dreams, aspirations, and goals I had set for myself years ago. Some of them have been accomplished, others I am still working on but if for nothing else, after that phone call, I feel more energized and motivated to work on the rest of my dreams and goals. 

Sometimes, all we need to get fired up is a blast from the past.
