Do you have dreams? Not the kind you
have at night while snoozing away, but real dreams. And I’m not talking about daydreams
or fantasies. Not those thoughts about something you probably will never do or
be like a multi-national CEO with a multi-million dollar golden parachute, or playing
for a pro ball team, or being the first man/woman on Mars (though if those are
your actual real goals and dreams, go for it!).
Most of us have those fantasies and
far-away dreams at times.
But what I’m talking about is those
dreams of how great life can be, dreams that keep you striving and moving
forward.
As kids many times anything seems
possible. With the vitality of youth they visualize the future, a great and
shining place where they accomplish what they dream, but somewhere along the
line all of us seem to lose that ability and we narrow our focus to our jobs,
our responsibilities, what’s expected of us.
But it doesn’t have to be that way.
The dreams we dreamed as kids are still alive and the universe hasn’t changed
that much so they’re still dreams that can be realized. They’re within the
realm of possibility. Sometimes we have to realize that we can get so busy
doing what he need to, making a living, that the dreams shut down.
Am I a ‘dreamer’? Yes, in that I never stop moving forward,
never stop thinking about what I want to accomplish next.
This is life folks. We aren’t just all
marking time waiting for it to start. It doesn’t matter your age. Life needs to
be greeted as an exciting adventure. The path you choose, something that feeds
heart, soul and mind.
I don’t have to write a tome on this
to inspire you do I? Just suggest that now might be the right time for you to
think about all those dreams. To sort through them, to find your place and
really live life.
I happen to be a writer. It’s what
propels me forward.
Maybe you love it as well, or maybe
you want to be an architect like Frank Lloyd Wright, or a famous brain surgeon,
or someone who makes a difference in the greening of the planet. Or maybe you
want to pursue any of thousands of
inspiring dreams.
Look inside and take a step in the
direction of those dreams.
Do it now.
