Why Dream?

"Life is a difficult assignment. We are fragile creatures, expected to function at high rates of speed, and asked to accomplish great and small things each day. These daily activities take enormous amounts of energy. Most things are out of our control. We are surrounded by danger, frustration, grief and insanity as well as love, hope, ecstasy, and wonder. Being fully human in an exercise in humility, suffering, grace, and great humor. Things and people all around us die, get broken, or are lost. There is no safety or guarantees.

The way to accomplish the assignment of truly living is to engage fully, richly, and deeply in the living of your dreams. We are made to dream and to love those dreams!

We are succulent, flexible, ingenious creatures, gifted with great intelligence, enormous resources, and endless creativity. We are mentored in our dreams by our ancestors. Our dreams sustain and support us, even when we're not actively living them. They infuse us with a hope and certainty. Every person living his or her dream is better able to help the world and other people not yet living their dreams."

I think that we all have dreams. However, it seems that as we get older, more mature we stop talking about our dreams and sadly, we stop exploring and pursuing our dreams. I think that it's so important that we remember what energizes and excites us. What are the things you love doing so much that you lose all track of time? What would you be doing right now if money weren't as issue? It's fun...go ahead and think about it!
