Dream

Dream...what does that mean to us? Is it something we do while we sleep? While we're awake? Or something we live out? If we're lucky, it may start out as something that is just in our heads or our hearts, but turns into our life...something we live.
Many of us start out as kids with big dreams. We can be anything we want to be...or so we're told. We start out by dreaming of what we want to be when we grow up...then what kind of car we want when we turn 16, what school we want to go to, what career we want to have, where we want to live, what kind of house we want...the kind of person we want to marry. And the dreams go on and on.
There are people in your life that will nurture your dreams and there are those that will smother them. The true difference between rags and riches...between a dream and reality...is mindset. If you have a "this is all there is" attitude...then you're right...that's all there is FOR YOU because that's all you expect for yourself. When you stop and look where you want to go...see where you want to be...and don't take “no” for an answer, no matter the obstacles...that's when you achieve greatness.
From the words of William Shakespeare "Be not afraid of greatness; some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them."
It's important to surround yourself with those who believe in you.... no matter how crazy your dreams may be. They are YOUR dreams, not theirs. THEY don't need to do it...they just need to support you THROUGH it.
