You dreamed about growing up and living on your own income once. You dreamed about living in your own apartment and calling close friends over for a night out whenever you liked. Perhaps you dreamed about seeing your kid go to a great school, receiving a gift from your kid’s first income and having a great time at your kid’s wedding. Or perhaps you dreamed you’d one day travel to a new country or attend a great university.
Look at where you are now.
Sure, some of those dreams haven’t worked out exactly how you pictured them as a kid. Thank god for that. Many of them worked out much better than you could have imagined.
If you believe the media, the world is going down the drain. There’s too much war, too much politics, too much money in football, and too much unemployment. It doesn’t seem like the kind of world where dreams come true.
But, they do. You are evidence of that. They work out much better than you even imagine. So, before you get all cynical today as you dream about yourself 15 years from now, remind yourself that this life, today, was once your dream too. And what a great life it’s turned out to be..
Sure, we have had to work hard for them but let it not be said that dreams don’t come true.. life is the stuff of dreams. Smile, enjoy living the dream, and just for today, actively reach out to someone else to help make their dream come true. If we aren’t helping each other realize our dreams, what the hell are we living for?
