Dreams: the stuff that life is made of.

It has been said that time is the stuff that life is made of, but I would like to give credit to dreams. Dreams are the stuff that life is made of. They contain our aspirations, our wishes, and our thoughts. Dreams take the things which we think about and put them into bright, large, fantastic plans. A wish we have that is filled with the people we love so very much, the things we think about, and the things we want to do. Our dreams cannot be realistic. In order to dream and imagine, you must think outside the box. Only then can you begin to dream. When we create our dream and make it our own, it will begin to unfold. We work to fulfill that dream. The dream has given us motivation, and a reason to live. When we have a dream, we have a purpose. We are not living day to day without goals or aspirations. Once you realize your dream, you can achieve the impossible. You can outdo, out-think, and out-run anything that stands in your way. You can achieve anything.

But we must remember to balance our dreams with our reality. We cannot focus on our future so much that we forget our present. Those who surround us now may not be in our future. While we are working to accomplish our dreams, we should still spend as much time as possible with those around us. The ones who are with you now are here to your advantage, whether they ridicule your dreams or they encourage you in every way. You can still learn from those who ridicule you, but you must be careful that they do not give you reason to destroy your dream. You must keep hold of it and not let go.

Everyone has a dream deep, deep, deep down within us. Some of us don’t realize it, or we ignore it. Others discover their dreams and begin to grow them and create an even bigger picture. Sometimes people will wait years until they discover their dream. This dream is normally discovered when someone or something walks or comes into their lives, which enables them to think outside of the box. It causes them to dream.

Sometimes our dreams have to be tweaked. We may have included something in our dream that we cannot possibly keep within it because we realized that it didn’t fit. We sat back and tried to see how our dream fit with our present and we realized that something in our dream was irrelevant, or we were leaving something out that is very important to us. But, a little tweaking should not cause us to scrap our ultimate goal.

A dreamer should never stop dreaming. If, and when, the dreamer accomplishes his dream, he should still dream on, making the dream larger and more spectacular than before. But, unfortunately, dreamers do stop dreaming at times. They become discouraged and decide that it can’t be done, or they have reached their goal, and they think that it cannot go any further, or be developed more. Dreamers should never stop dreaming. Once they stop dreaming, they lose their motivation in life. They can become confused, lethargic, even depressed at times. When this happens, the dreamer needs a serious wake-up call. Dreamers were not designed to stop dreaming. They were made and programmed to keep on dreaming and never stop, no matter what comes their way. When a dreamer stops dreaming, it becomes a discredit to God and His creation. God created the dreamer to dream and never stop dreaming. That is the way a dreamer is made. I say it again: a dreamer should never, ever, stop dreaming.
