Do You Have a Dream?

“Whatever you do, or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius and power and magic in it.”  Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.

Do you have a dream?

That’s a sincere question. I used to think everyone had dreams but I’m learning ’everyone’ is too big a brush to paint with. Some people are so busy doing what they do, they don’t have time to dream. Some have fulfilled their dreams and are living them.

And some think they’ve stopped dreaming altogether. Of course, it could be they call it something else–like someday–

“Someday, when I have time, I’m going to . . . .” To travel. To write a book. To become a photographer. To be a decorator. To fly. To run for office. 

Or they might call it wishing.

“I wish I could . . . . ” You fill in the  . . . .

A lot of people, once they consider themselves adults, think wishing and daydreaming aare childish things to do. And they stop. (Go figure.) But they might just make a wish at special times.

So I’ll ask it this way–When you see a falling star or have a birthday cake with candles to blow out, is there a wish you make over and over?

 

If there is, it just might be *gasp* a dream.

Okay, you might actually have a dream, even though you wouldn’t admit it out loud, even to the person you’re closest to in the world. So what? Dreams never did anyone any good, did they? Just dreaming won’t get a person anywhere.

But if your dream evolves into a goal–  

“A goal is a dream with a deadline.” (Napoleon Hill)

So, do you have a dream? A goal? Something you’ve always wanted to do but have never found the time or $$ for? The first step to reaching a dream is to recognize it. 

And acknowledge it.

So how about it. What’s your dream? Your wish? Your goal? You don’t even have to tell who you are.
