What Are Your Dreams?

We all have dreams.  But in order to make dreams come into reality, it takes an awful lot of determination, dedication, self-discipline, and effort. – Jesse Owens

And how clear are they?

These “dreams?”

If you have goals, then you’ve (actually) clarified your dreams.

If not, your dreams are in danger of becoming fantasies.

(And fantasies never come true.)

Get clear on what you want.

Transform your dreams into goals.

Then, do what Mr. Owens suggests,* and make your dreams into reality.

*****

* i.e.: work your a$& off.

    We cannot cure the world of sorrows, but we can choose to live in joy. – Joseph Campbell But remember, you can cure your world of some sorrows. And you can always choose joy. If sorrow creeps in, as it will, meet it with humanity, let it visit for a time and choose again. Choose joy.
