After Mike Manson @Mike Manson 's thread about people's dream jobs, I been thinking about this question. What's stopping everyone that had reasonable goals/dreams from going out and making it happen?

I want to open a boxing gym and one of the biggest things that's holding me back right now is that I just got married and have 2 little kids. I'm in the process of figuring out the logistics of running a gym and I've decided that I think I'm going to start looking in to locations and talking to the other gym owners around here and see the obstacles they've run in to and hear any advice they may have.

I have a good job, one that could easily be a career but I'm 31 years old. Before I know it, I'm gonna be 40 and thinking "why didn't I pursue my dreams?" I think one of the reasons that suicide is so high in this country and divorce is so high is that people lose sight of what's important, but they also have so much added stress from things that aren't important and hate their jobs and what they have become. What's stopping you from going out and getting yours?
