Dreams:
Dreams are the fuel that feeds our ambition, a source of strength,
and cause for progress. Without dreams, hope dies. All great human
achievements in the Universe started with a dream, a spark of
imagination which turned into an idea which blossomed into an action
plan. The end results are always a new way of life. Not all of us
will have colossal ideas that change the course of humanity, but all
of us have dreams that can better our own lives. Those who have
dreams are full of life and a sense of purpose. Let go of dreams and
you let go of far more than just a good idea or two, you also lose a
part of yourself.
There are a lot of dream sabotagers out there that many use as an
excuse to let go of their dreams: fear, lack of time, not enough
money, and the list goes on. In a society conditioned towards
instant gratification, it can become easy to lose sight of long term
possibilities. With every great dream comes the innovation to work
through obstacles if enough effort is put forth. It is important to
remember that dreams are a vital part of life. They push us to
become who we truly are, and to express ourselves as individuals.
Today's Exercise:
Reflect on dreams of the past you may have lost sight of. How can
you reestablish this part of your being? What would you really like
to accomplish in this life? What are your unique talents and
attributes you have to offer? Work on keeping your dreams alive.
