What's your Dream?

When we were small children, we all had a dream of what we wanted to be when we grew up. For most of us, it was a pretty sure thing. "I'm going to be a fireman, a doctor, an astronaut or a baseball player." There was no, "Well, I might be a ...., or if things go right I'll be a ........., or I'd like to be a ......., but I doubt I'll ever make it." No. It was a done deal, a sure thing, a lock.

Where Did Those Dreams Go?

• You can say that you're grown up now and "Out Grown" those childish fantasies.


• You're just too darn busy with all the stuff that is life.


• Adults don't have "dreams". They set goals.


• Dreams don't come true, so why waste your valuable time on them.

All of the above statements are true....... if you allow them to be. Dreams don't need to be a complete fantasy like: "I want to be Donald Trump." or "I want to own Microsoft within 5 years." Dreams can be anything you want them to be. After all, it is your dream, not someone else's. It can be something small. It can be doing service work full-time. It could be to help change kids lives by working with under privledged kids. It could be helping to educate young single mothers on how to be a GREAT mother. Maybe you want to invent a product to help people stay in touch easier.

The following questions can help to clarify what your dream is or could be.

1. What do you enjoy the most?


2. If you had no limitations on where you could live, where would you live?


3. What one thing would bring you the most satisfaction if you were to accomplish it?

OK. What is keeping you from doing these things? Is it money? Is it time? Is it knowledge? It is a particular skill?

• Money can be earned.


• Time can be saved, re-organized, or prioritized.


• Knowledge can be learned.


• Skills can be acquired.

Take some time to reacquaint yourself with your dreams. Everyone should have a dream. Everyone can achieve their dream. Start by going to a quiet place and writing down what your dream is. You can then start planning to make it come true. Dreams DO COME TRUE! Don't let anyone tell you differently.

What ever your dream is, make it come true.
