Dream.
It's a word that's used so lightly these days; and I'm not talking about the dreams you have in your sleep, although I'll save that topic for another day.
It's a word that's used so lightly these days; and I'm not talking about the dreams you have in your sleep, although I'll save that topic for another day.
I'm talking about your aspirations. Plans. Goals. Whatever you want to call it. Things you want to accomplish before your body dies. Places you want to go. People you want to see....and most importantly, the person you want to be. I want you to think about what drives you. What keeps you going each and every day? What makes you wake up in the morning?
A dear friend once said, "I feel that a person’s happiness comes from the pursuit of their passions."
I believe that to be 100% accurate. Open your eyes....Seriously, open your eyes. Look around. Think about your situation and tell me what you see. Do you like what you see? Do you love what you see? Do you need someone to open your eyes a little further? Tell me more.
I believe that you can't truly be happy until you realize what makes you happy. Figure it out. Now. Take that, do away with everything else, and don't ever look back. Ever.
Please don't sit back and be content with what you have now because it's comfortable. Don't be content because that's what you're used to. Don't get used to something that doesn't make you happy. Don't settle for less when you could have more. Don't be mediocre when you could be great. Don't pretend to be happy when you really aren't.
Now. Stop looking around, and look at yourself in the mirror. Tell me what you see. Do you like what you see? Do you love what you see? You have to love yourself before you can honestly love anyone else.
Do you like dreaming of things so impossible?
I do.
