Dreams

One does not have to sleep to dream. In fact, the best dreams occur while we are awake. We must control our dreams and direct them where we desire them to go. As needed we can perform a “do-over” and make things right. When we are confident, we allow dreams to set our life's course. I like the personal statement of bestselling author and screenwriter, Steven Barnes: "If there is any single thing I believe most strongly, it is that we all have the capacity to bring our most cherished dreams to life. What are required are motivating goals, discipline, honesty, and sufficient personal power to act. Life is a wonderful, complex demanding game. The way to win is to decide what you want, focus on that goal, surround yourself with people who will support your dream, and nurture the ability to laugh at yourself." He ends his proclamation by quoting Benjamin Franklin: Up, sluggard, and waste not life--there'll be rest enough in the grave.
