Accomplishing the dream...

We look ahead to the future for happiness, letting life slip through our fingers. Will we feel complete when the task is done or look back on how we missed so much fun? Self-exhausted and we cant see a thing, hurting those we love as well as ourselves. We have so much to be grateful for, but are we willing to open the door? Too frequently others see whats in front of our face, but were to blind to look as we're ready to race. Is this what life should be about? Money, fortune, fame or a big house? Family, love, friendship and laughter are what we should seek. Everything else will fall in its place so there's no need to compete....

How and What Do You Dream?

I pulled this post from a website that I visited not long ago and thought it was pretty interesting and  might help with understanding my purpose more. To read the full post by the original blogger visit here.
""Twice this week I've been asked the same question. Coincidence? Probably not.


"How do you dream like that?"

It's rather simple. I just never envision things in "the now." If you filter dreams through what your current status is, is that really a dream? Or is it an analysis? There's a distinct difference between the two.

One of the things that most people do is stop dreaming. The moment you stop dreaming is the moment you begin dying. The longer you stop dream, the harder it is to revive you.

Dreams are important. You must dream.

Here are a few simple steps that I take to dream:

1. I stop. In order to start to envision a better life, a better world, a better you - you've got to remove yourself from it. You can't do that if you're still moving about. As Asagai said in "A Raisin In The Sun," - "Just sit a while and think..."

2.Let go. How can you dream effectively if what you're envisioning is tied to conditions? You've got to dream the goal first - and worry about the details later. That's the whole purpose of dreaming. It's about going to a place that doesn't exist currently. It's about seeing a life that you don't currently have yet. It's about seeing the nice bank account that really isn't there yet. Who cares about HOW you'll get there - or WHAT you'll do to get there. First just get an idea of what THERE looks like. Dream about THERE. In order to do that - let go. Clear you mind of all of the conditional stuff that you think you need to be tied to...let go.
3. Dream BIG and OFTEN. Dreams are just that - dreams. Why put a limit on them? If you're going to dream, it might as well be big, right? Dreams are one of the many things that you don't have to limit - they're unconditional. The only thing preventing you from dreaming big and often, is you. Remove you from the equation, or rather what prevents you, and then you're free to dream the unthinkable. You're free to dream what you could never imagine. You're free to dream what you've never been able to physically see. And do it often. It's like with anything in life, the more you do it, the easier it becomes.

What do I dream about? A few things...""
