Dream Big, Dream Often
Have
you ever noticed that children have the greatest imagination in the
world? What is just an ordinary box to us, is a car, a fort, a jet ski,
a swimming pool and more to a child. There imagination can go on and
on.
Children
are great because they posses a great sense of wonder and amazement.
They always know exactly how to DREAM: They Dream Big and They Dream
Often. When children dream of ice cream, they dream of the whole world
made of ice cream not just an ice cream cone. When it comes to dreaming
about themselves they always DREAM of success. More often than not,
you’ll find a child dreams of winning the Super Bowl, being first-place
in a race or being the best at whatever they are interested in at the
moment. When things go wrong, they call "Do Over" and work at it until
they make it right. They live their dream out everyday through their
imaginations.
Childhood
is great for that reason. As adults we lose some of the childhood
wonder because we are conditioned over time or jaded by negative
experiences which damage our ability to dream. This conditioning pushes
us to the unhealthy acceptance that our Dreams can’t come true. We
begin to live our lives in the daily rut. Farmers use the plow to
create ruts in the ground. Within these ruts they plant the seeds for
the development of a crop. Therefore, the farmer creates ruts in the
ground in order to make the dream come true. Like children we need to
Dream Big and Dream Often. We need to look for opportunities to make our
dreams come true. Like Farmers, we need to use the rut to plant the
seeds for the next success.
Are
you living your Dream? or have you let the Dream escape? When we lose
sight of our Dream our lives become stagnant, uneventful and dull.
However, when we keep our dreams in sight hope abounds and
possibilities are endless. As we end our summer of fun and sun and head
into the cold and gray skies of autumn and winter, the question one must
answer is: Are you in a rut or creating one?
