Don't Be Tempted to Sleep Forever
Personal March 13th, 2008
I had a dream the other night that felt so real… and it was something that I wished deep down in my heart would come true. I had never actually dreamed it in my sleep before, but once I did, it felt like something that could really happen.
And yes, I remember what I said. If it’s meant to be, it’s meant to be. I just have to do something about it. A desire can’t be achieved without working for it. And while I’m deathly afraid of the other potential outcomes, I have to try. I mean, to me, what’s worse than never realizing your dream is that you never tried and are left to always regret and think, “What if…”
Sorry, but I can’t share the dream… maybe someday. Just know that it is something really important to me.
Pass This On

“I’m always dreaming of something bigger. Don’t let anyone tell you that you can’t achieve your dream. Don’t let them say, ‘Why are you wasting your time? You’ll never be able to do that.’ If I didn’t dream, I wouldn’t have gotten the things I’ve got and done the things I’ve done.”
I’m paraphrasing here, but that’s the advice I got over the weekend on the way home from a trip to Miami Beach. He told me that there have been people who told him that he couldn’t do what he has already done. And it makes sense… how can you achieve bigger and better things if you don’t first dream of them? Without a dream, you’re accepting that what you have is all that you can get or deserve. But you can always go for more. You should go for more.
I’m taking that advice to heart. There’s so much in life that I wish I could have or do. I shouldn’t think it’s impossible to accomplish my ambitions, because that would only discourage me. And I want to share that advice with you guys… because you should always dream, too. Don’t let anyone ever tell you it’s nothing more than an unattainable fantasy. Just let yourself imagine whatever you wish and go for it!
