A Vision of Dreaming

So, it is almost 1:00 AM and by the time I am done writing this blog it will probably be time to let me depart for the night. I just wanted to present my views on something different. I have been out tonight, and in a long time I have realized that I need to dream bigger and brighter. When I walk down the streets of West Covina or even in a completely different city or country, I see individual faces that tell a story. They all have their own personal tale to tell. They have their dreams, aspirations, hurts, dissappointments, experiences all bottled down deep into their hearts. Some have others to rely on, some do not. A homeless man is no different than a wealthy, lush, business man rushing down the street to meet his cilent at a coffee shop. The business man has a dream for more simplicity and the homeless man has a dream to be the other people that pass him on the sidewalk pretending to ignore him.

What are our dreams? Who instills these dreams within us? Those are some of the questions I pondered today that I would like to consider. Dreaming takes energy and time to think. What do you want your dreams to be like and do you think they will be the right dreams for you? I guess you won't know until they finally come true. That is possibly the most intoxicating idea about it. You can be ANYTHING you want in your dreams. But the important thing to recognize they will come true, but maybe not the way you expected.

Some dream of the glitz and glammer of hollywood, or some dream about just finding the perfect soulmate. Your dream of being a celebrity may land you in a small extra in a movie or it may take you years of a hurt and tortured spirit to find that special someone. These days, we most definately thrive upon perfection. We need to realize that your job in a big movie studio may not be the most famous or industrialized project or that your love may have flaws that you will have to learn to live with. In the end, we need to understand the humble and unpretentious human at it's heightened. You cannot avoid or deny it. The time has come when you have to decide what you want, perfection or shortcomings at it's desired.

Some dreams are never yours. Maybe they could be someone else's. To dream a person you want to be is a waste of the person you are. Make your own dreams and decide for yourself what you think is right for you. I do not want to sugar coat anything. It will be a rough and bumpy ride and you may think it is unfinished. For those who dream, life is not easy. But rest a sure, it will definately be worth it. Think and get in touch with your inner being if you haven't already. I try everyday and I am still trying to figure it out. Read, write, enjoy life to it's fullest. I know you hear this phrase ringing in your head constantly. But I am sad to say this my friend, it is the honest truth. Trust yourself to test your limits. That is courage and risk-taking enjoyed. Dream wisely but BIG. Your dream is waiting for you.

"Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world." -Harriet Tubman
