Grow Great by Dreams by: Author Unknown, Source Unknown

The question was once asked of a highly successful businessman: "How have you done so much in your lifetime?"
He replied, "I have dreamed. I have turned my mind loose to imagine what I wanted to do. Then I have gone to bed and thought about my dreams. In the night I dreamt about my dreams. And when I awoke in the morning, I saw the way to make my dreams real.

While other people were saying, 'You can't do that, it isn't possible,' I was well on my way to achieving what I wanted." As Woodrow Wilson, 28th President of the U.S., said: "We grow great by dreams. All big men are dreamers."

They see things in the soft haze of a spring day, or in the red fire on a long winter's evening. Some of us let these great dreams die, but others nourish and protect them; nourish them through bad days until they bring them to the sunshine and light which comes always to those who sincerely hope that their dreams will come true."

So please, don't let anyone steal your dreams, or try to tell you they are too impossible.

"Sing your song, dream your dreams, hope your hope and pray your prayer."
Thomas Edison tried two thousand different materials in search of a filament for the light bulb. When none worked satisfactorily, his assistant complained, "All our work is in vain. We have learned nothing."

Edison replied very confidently, "Oh, we have come a long way and we have learned a lot. We now that there are two thousand elements which we cannot use to make a good light bulb."

What do you dream of? Many of us have put our dreams aside. We have put our dreams aside because life inteferred. Our focus has moved from day to day survival and just getting through the day. Some of us were chastized for having dreams. Dreams are impractical. We were told to grow up. Some of us have put aside our dreams for a later date.

What dreams can you go back to and re incorporate into your life? Is there a difference between a goal and a dream? Are your dreams day dreams? Perhaps your dreams are temporary escapes into a world you believe you will not inhabit.

Perhaps it is time to re visit your dreams. Perhaps it is time to share these dreams with yourself and someone special that can support your dreams. Perhaps it is time for you to support yourself in seeking your dreams.
