<h4>What pursuit would drive you past the pain?</h4>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Sometimes it amazes me where the inspiration of a thought can originate.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;It's not always the same places you would normally expect.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We look to certain areas in our lives for information hoping it may lead to some inspiration of creativity or internal knowledge.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;It can come from the oddest places, probably why people love the honesty of a child.  <br /><br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Today I found a bit of inspiration in someone's drive to complete their dream.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Despite taking a serious fall and having her face smashed, Donna D'Errico continues on for her quest of Noah's Ark.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Though some may find this to be a frivilous use of time, it is still her dream and she shows great heart in pursuing it.<br /><br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Which brings me to my inspired thought, "What dream am I not pursuing?"<br /><br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I am sure Ms. D'Errico's position and resources allow for this versus many others in our society.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;But, if you could, barring you current obligations, family, bills pets to feed, what would you do?&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If there were resources available to you, you could live your dream avocation, what would it be?<br /><br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;You see, I understand that we find ourselves in our current positions both by our personal drive and circumstance.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Also, there are things in our lives that drive us beyond our work and family.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Things we hold close to us with great personal value.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If you could follow that, what would it be?<br /><br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;For me, I know the answer.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Part of it would still involve recruiting, though it would be very different in focus.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I do find that there are a few financial hold ups as well as possible personal security issues to following out my dreams.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;But if you could remove all those things, what would be the thing so important to you to push past the pain, just as Ms. D'Errico?<br /><br />   

If I hit 2,000 replies to this in 2 weeks, I will put together a posting outlining my "dream" I've been researching.<br />
