Dreams
Remember your dreams today. Let nothing keep you from them.
When you imagine that the dreams of those you love are more important,stop yourself from this misconception of love. Love never wants to dismiss you and never wants you to step aside or disappear.
Your dreams are your unique gifts.
Your dreams are your life's purpose.
Your dreams establish your presence in this world.
Your dreams keep you interesting, alive and eternally youthful.

Life is but a dream...so the song says....but I say life is more than a dream! Life is a dream come true!
Are dreams a pie-in-the-sky experience or an essential part of our lives? Those who never allowed themselves to dream, discourage dreamers.
Remember when people called you a Dreamer? You may have felt shamed and embarrassed so you walked away thinking your dreams had no real significance. Or, your parents thought their dreams were more important and realistic than your dreams for yourself. Life can be hard on dreamers, if they are forced to stand alone. The most rebellious thing you ever do is believe in your dreams.
Josh Grohan sings in Believe:
Believe in what your heart is sayin'
Hear the melody that's playin'
There's no time to waste
There's so much to celebrate
Believe in what you feel inside
And give your dreams the wings to fly
You have everything you need
If you just believe.
