Chase your dreams like a snail

Having kids in the house limits what we watch.  As a result my TV viewing consists mostly of Disney, Pixar, and, DreamWorks. Anything else has to wait until they are asleep in bed. To be honest... my bedtime falls pretty closely after their's and I've not the strength to start a movie. (You can laugh but one day you will understand.)

However sometimes we do get a hold of a good one.We found a gem of a movie with Turbo. Yes, I know it's about a racing snail and nothing could seem sillier... but it is an awesome story of pursuing your dreams no matter how big, scary,unbelievable, or absurd. Plus Snoop Dogg and Samuel Jackson make for a couple of pretty amazing snail voices.

The movie is simply about a snail who wishes he could race in the Indy 500. (It doesn't get any simpler than that.) That race would normally take him decades to complete, but by chance he gets sucked into a the Nitros tanks of a street racer that transforms him into one fast "escargot"... (You like that?) Against the discouragement of his brother and "garden-mates" he pursues his dream with his new found ability. Not as a car, but a s a "snail."  The quote at the end of the trailer is a is a great reminder of how we can make the most of the ability we have been given.

Take a minute and answer these questions and take the next step in pursuing your dreams. 
 
1. What ability/gift would you regret loosing? What is it that you wish you could spend more time doing?

2. What is holding you back?

3. What one thing would you do today, if you knew tomorrow you would never have that ability again?
