Dream

What is your dream? Will you achieve it in your lifetime? I'm certain that you desire to. I'm sure you hope you will. But will you actually do it? What odds would you give yourself? One in five? One in a hundred? One in a Million? How can you tell whether your chances are good or whether your dream will always remain exactly that - a dream? And are you willing to put it to the test?

Most people i know have a dream. In fact, I've asked hundreds, if not thousands, of people about their dream. Some willingly describe it with great detail and enthusiasm. Others are reluctant to talk about it. They seem embarassed to say it out loud. These people have never tested their dream. They don't know if others will laugh at them. They're not sure if they're aiming too high or too low. They don't know if their dream is something they can really achieve or if they're destined to fail.

Take a look at many of the things that people pursue and call dreams in their lives:-
Daydreams - Distractions from current work
Pie-in-the-sky Dreams - Wild ideas with no strategy or basis in Reality
Bad Dreams - Worries that breed fear and paralysis
Idealistic Dreams - The way the world would be if you were in charge
Vicarious Dreams - Dreams lived through others
Romantic Dreams - Belief that some person will make you happy
Career Dreams - Belief that career success will make you happy
Destination Dreams - Belief that a position, tilte or award will make you happy
Material Dreams - Belief that wealth or possessions will make you happy.

If these aren't good dreams - valid ones worthy of a person's life - then what are?
Here's my definition of a dream that can be put to the test and pass:-
a dream is an inspiring picture of the future that energizes your mind, will, and emotions, empowering you to do everything you can to achieve it.

"Always remember there are only two kind of people in this world - the realists and dreamers. The realists know where they're going. The dreamers have already been there."- Robert Orben.

Nobody wants to read the small print in dreams. Here are a few of the things you will find:-
1. The Journey will take Longer than you hoped.
2. The Obstacles will be more numerous than you believed.
3. The disappointments will be greater than you expected.
4. The lows will be lower than you imagined.
5. The price will be higher than you anticipated.

I'll share with you once i done verbalizing my dream :)
