Dream, Just Dream

I have had some really beautiful conversations with some special people in the last few days and it has opened my eyes to the power of dreams.  Dreams are ideas deeply embedded within us that we hope will become real.  Yes, there is a lot of hard work that goes into making a dream come true but the beginning is so important.  ...The beginning is where your imagination takes you to a place that you are someone different.  It is a place where you have overcome fears and where you are truly living up to your potential.

This is as special as it gets.  The conversations that I have been having have really inspired me because I had the opportunity to share my dream with people as well as listen to the dreams of others.  What I have also found, sadly, is that there are a number of people that dream of getting away or out of something.  That's it; nothing more.  It is a fantasy of escape but with no destination or journey beyond that.  No dreaming.  In the same instance I am saddened and overjoyed because even if people aren't dreaming there is an opportunity to revive an old dream or begin a new one.

You are responsible to the world to live your dream and nothing less!  It is a responsibility that is the greatest privilege.  It starts with the reality of your dream; the acknowledgement that you do have a dream and that is as important as anyone else's.  No one can dream your dream for you and ultimately no-one can live it for you.  NO ONE BUT YOU!

By dreaming and living your dreams you fill this world with more beauty.  And that beauty no one else can give to the world except you.  We have every day to decide how we will live and if that decision is not powered by dreams what is it powered by?

Dare to dream and then dare to take dream-inspired action.  Dont' wait untill tomorrow or the most-ideal day.  TODAY!  Grab a pen and paper and write something down.  Put some pictures on a piece of paper.  Take photographs of things that inspire you and remind you of who you are and where you are heading.  Above all remind yourself that you are special and only you can dream your dreams.
