I like to move in the direction of my dreams, even if it doesn’t seem to lead to any treasure. I’ve found unexpected rewards along the way. And on multiple occasions, I’ve been given more than I asked for.
Sure, I’ve had to compromise at times—make sure I could pay the rent or deal with obligations—but I suspect that if I pursue my dreams with a clear mind and an open heart, even if it’s just for five minutes a day (which is a situation I’ve found myself in), I’ll tap into a wealth of unforeseen support.

Ditto! It is the pursuit that is more important than a potential reward…rewards are nice, but it is the pursuit where we find our fulfillment. Even if only for five minutes. Bravo!!

For me, specifically, it’s that rush of possibility and purpose that comes with the pursuit. Love that! 😊

Yep! Whoever thought Keanu Reeves’ dream to be a hockey player would lead him to become injured, then make him into one of the most beloved—yet technically terrible—and entertaining actors to ever walk the earth!

Burton Cummings, the great Canadian singer/songwriter who sold more records in the late 60s than the Beatles wanted to be a hockey player until as a goalie he took one over the eye and it made it puck shy. Burt Bacharach picked up a piano gig in the Hamptons as a kid and discovered girls liked piano players just as much as they liked football players, so he quit trying to get himself killed every fall.

The first ten minutes, I was afraid it was going to be horrible. Much to my delight, it wasn’t. That concert at the end was amazing!

That concert was uplifting and spectacular.
Nice to see Keanu Reeves & Alex Winter slip back into the roles and ably supported by Samara Weaving & Brigette Lundy-Paine doing worthy Bill & Ted daughters

Loved it. Also, seeing Death again was awesome. I actually read and reread the novelization for Bogus Journey countless times over when I was a kid.

I never knew there was a novelisation. Mind you it was at the stage when the reason I was watch Bill & Ted was because my kids were watching it, so maybe felt thanks to peer pressure upwards ‘Dad can watch the film, but should not get further involved, like using quotes or do air guitars, that’s our terrain,’

It was just one of those crappy kids’ novelizations, nothing big. But as a kid, it was like watching the movie all over again. Sad to hear you had to air guitar in private, LOL!

I like the “even for five minutes a day” part. I’ve found lately, if I wait until I have hours and hours for my own projects, I never work on them. Five minutes a day at least keeps them moving forward, if slowly.

Absolutely. For me, it also keeps the gears in my brain oiled in regards to writing, which is my way of saying I tend to think of more ideas throughout the day.

Remembering that “just 5 minutes a day can make a difference” part is something that keeps throwing me off. I need to be reminded of this thing…and for this I thank you!

No problem! Tolkien reminded me of that; he was writing stories on napkins in World War I. 🙂
