Are You Living Your Dream ?
They say dreams never die just the dreamer. Not really true when you think about it. Martin Luther King’s dream never died. Abraham Lincon’s dream never died. Locally KC Irving’s dream and Frank Sobey’s dream never died. So what is the secret to living your dream and better yet passing that dream on to the next generation. If we could capture that secret and make it available to everyone could we all live our dream ? What do you think ? Now I realize the men I mentioned above had the capacity to dream big. Had tremendous perseverance to overcome adversity and an unswerving passion to follow their dreams. They had personal traits and characteristics that many people do not have. Some famous women who had these abilities included Mother Teresa, Marie Curie and Eleanor Roosevelt.
Now living your dream may not be compared to any of the above. I say that because your dream is defined by you. Your dream does not have to change the world. Your dream could be being a wonderful mother. Your dream could be being a great farmer or skilled carpenter. One thing we all have in common is that we can’t live our dream with out a stable home life and the support of our loved ones. With that foundation you are much better prepared to pursue your dream. Not all of us have this blessing initially but can surround ourselves with people who will support us as we pursue our dream.
No matter your circumstances, your surroundings, your age or your location. Living your dream is up to you. It is up to you to define your dream and pursue it. You may be old and not healthy. You may feel helpless and hopeless. You may feel your dreams have all dried up and blown away. Life has beaten all the happiness out of your heart. The struggles of life can do that. Here is the secret. You have a choice. You can give up or you can say to yourself. I know I have little time left but I am going to utilize every minute, every hour and every day doing something I love or helping someone I love. My dream is to be as happy as I possibly can for the rest of my days. Remember the supreme secret ? “What the human mind can believe the human mind can achieve.” The secret applies if you are 90 years old or 10 years old. Tiger Woods dreamed of being a great golfer. Justin Bieber dreamed of being a great singer. Betty White is 90 years old and stars in two shows. Are you living your dream ? I hope so. Really all you have to do is try. Thanks to everyone for your cards and support during my time off and yes I’m back on deck and still dreaming.
