Following the Dream

Have a dream. Call it anything you want. Call it a passion, a goal, destiny. But have it.

Then get to work on accomplishing that thing , that career that whatever it is that you love and desire and dream about.

Then while working for it dont forget to have fun and some pleasure and enjoy the journey. Cause life passes faster than you think.

Warning. Make wise choices along the way. Dont be persuaded to do dumb things. If you've a doubt about what to do in any given situation; ask several people for advise. Then make the choice.

Dont be lazy. Laziness is a dream killer. It's a self inflicted wound. It's the most stupid move you can make. Worse than pulling off your fingernails with pliers...one at a time. Dont be lazy.

Get smart. Education, whether it's a trade, a college degree or career training, will help move you along on your journey through life.

I'm, as I write, watching an invisible phenomenon taking place high in the blue skies above my porch. Its invisible because it's happening in the atmosphere. It's called an up draft. I know it's there even though it's invisible because of two reasons. One I understand that air molecules are invisible and two because being lifted upward in ever widening and higher circles are ospreys and vulchers; and a few times as I've watched this recurring phenomenon I've seen eagles and white pelicans too.

This invisible column of upward lifting air ,this updraft in the atmosphere, lifts these birds upward to the heights they long for.

You need to find yourself an updraft. Something that lifts you, pushes you upward, inspires you and thrusts you forward toward that dream of yours.

Those bars that will someday be on your shoulder, that career that will take you places you can't imagine, that license, that degree, that horse ranch, whatever it is.

Follow the dream, have fun.
