Dreams

 What are dreams?

Dreams are the culmination of our hopes, our wants, our desires. Dreams are the things that we look at and say "If only". But if dreams are only thoughts or images and never worked on then that's all they'll ever be. 

We need to work towards our dreams. But in the effort and energy into making our dreams a reality and understand that like all things, this is going to take work.

We are living the dreams of others. 1st we must appreciate ourselves and what we've been able to do. If you have a roof over your head, you are living someone else's dream. If you have a loving spouse you are living someone else's dream. If you have kids, you are living someone else's dream. So much of what we already do are the dreams of someone else in this world, right now.



So now, realize that you have the power to make dreams come true. You didn't even realize that these were dreams. They were necessities that you made happen. There was never a question or a doubt. 

But we doubt our ability to achieve dreams. That's why we call them dreams. They seem like something so wonderful or fantastical that our subconscious could create them. To far fetched, like the ability to fly. But if you look at a house, or a car, or a vacation. Those exist in this world and for that they are in fact reality. There is a price tag next to that item and in order to achieve it you must just work towards the item.

Chasing dreams is like chasing a loose dog that doesn't want to go home. You see it, you try different ways to get closer to it. But then maybe one of you gets distracted and now your dream seems further away. You may grow fraustrated, resentful, exhausted. You may even turn your back to it. But then you turn around and you see it looking at you. And you realize. It's really a game. You've been approaching it all wrong. The way to attain your dreams is to be patient and enjoy the process. But just like your dog. You can't just turn around and go home. 

You keep at it till you win.

You are already living your dream. Just do all the actions that will take you step by step closer to your dream. You have got this. This is your life. This is your chance. These are your dreams. 

Believe them.

Open Opportunity

Image
Opportunity is freedom. The freedom to choose. The freedom to have options. The freedom to look at possibilities and select what best fits your needs and wants. The cereal aisle is the perfect example of open opportunity. You can ask yourself. Do I want fruity or do I want oats? Do I want honey or do I want chocolate? Do I want a small box or a big box? Do I want name brands or do I want the value brand?   The analogy of the cereal aisle as a representation of open opportunity beautifully captures the essence of freedom of choice and the ability to explore possibilities. A neat and organized collection of choices all in one place that show their cost, their size and their contents upfront. Yes, this is opportunity at its most simplest form but it is the truest example of open opportunity. It's not merely about selecting a cereal; it's about making decisions that define our preferences and aspirations. This, in essence, is the heart of opportunity, the freedom to navigate throu...

Opportunities Take Courage

Image
In the pursuit of our dreams, thoughts, or ideas, it's often natural to feel a sense of vulnerability. Sharing these aspirations can be awkward, driven by the fear of judgment or criticism. The concern that others might dismiss or find fault in our dreams can be paralyzing, causing us to keep them hidden within ourselves. However, this reluctance to share our ideas can hinder their growth and potential impact on the world. Similar to nurturing a child, we need to give our ideas the strength to stand on their own. This involves not only developing the idea itself but also building the courage to present it to the world. Like children need exposure to the challenges of the world to grow and thrive, our ideas need to be shared, discussed, and refined to reach their full potential.   The fear of judgment is a common barrier to sharing our dreams, whether with friends, family, or even strangers. Yet, this fear must be overcome if we are to progress and grow. It's essential to recog...

Attention Creation

Image
I watched a video the other day that said attention is the newest form of currency.  That grabbing someone else’s attention was worth more than money or your time because you were capturing “Their” time.  And then I walked into a grocery store. Upon entering the grocery store, I encountered vibrant displays of beers in display in the fridge. The array of colors, diverse packaging, and assorted characters, each with artistic and sometimes abstract elements, had my attention. I stood looking over the selection. It was then that it struck me that every detail was meticulously designed, all in a collective effort to vie for my attention with the ultimate goal of enticing me to make a purchase.  As I walked through the store towards the counter I looked at the bags of chips. They were lined up the same way. The meats in the butcher's display were all lined up in the window for me to see. Everything was vying for my attention.  For the attention of their audience. But this...
