Does Anyone Dream Anymore?

We hear this word dream and although it means different things to different people, the universal understanding of the word is the same. The definition of dream is a series of images, ideas, and emotions that occur involuntarily in the mind during the state of sleep. Some of us can remember our dreams and some of us don't want to remember them, but the bottom line is we all dream.

The dreams I'm referring to are the ones that we think about when we are awake. You know the dreams I'm talking about. Dreaming of a new car, some new golf clubs, to be thinner and the list goes on and on. These are nice dreams to have , but I'm talking about real dreams. Letting your mind go really far out there and imagining how you want your life to look like. I know it is difficult because you can't get past your current circumstances. You are so entrenched in just getting by day by day that you can't think of anything else, but making it to tomorrow. Money issues, health issues, job issues, family issues, car issues...it is exhausting and sucks the life right out of you. No wonder no one has the strength to think outside the box and dream.

When you are faced with one or many of these issues it is the best time to sit in a quite place for 5 minutes everyday and DREAM. Dream of the way you want your life to look like. Think about not having to work at a JOB or being able to pay for your car repairs without a blink of an eye. Do you want to take any classes, donate your time for charity, learn how to play the piano? Start to get inside your head and begin to formulate what YOU want in life. Most people won't do this because in the back of their minds they know that these things can't come true. Of course, that is where the problem lies, in your mind.

Dreaming would be a lot easier if you were clear on how you want to live your life, but you can't do that unless you sit down and design that life. Forget about how you are going to get there and you must look past your current situation. That is the first step. It's kind of like you building a road map of what you want. Once you have the road map, then you know where you are going. Be Clear on your thoughts and that starts with dreaming.
