“All dream, but unequally. Those that dream at night in the dusty recesses of their minds, awake the next day to find that their dreams were just vanity. But those who dream during the day with their eyes wide open are dangerous people, they act out their dreams to make them reality.” ~~Thomas LawrenceA few weeks ago, I got an e-mail from a friend of mine. “Buy this book and read it immediately if you haven’t already. “The Dream Manager” by Matthew Kelly.” My friend is one of the few people I know who reads more than me, so if he was that excited about a book, there was a reason.
It’s a whole story about dreams. In it, he recommends that you write a list of 100 dreams and make a “Dream Book”, which is essentially a scrapbook of your dreams (no wonder I liked it!).
This book really made an impact on me. I realized after I read it that I need new dreams. Many of my dreams for my life were tied to my marriage and now I need new ones. Well, that got me pretty excited!
So, I’ve been thinking about my list of 100 dreams. It’s hard!
When did we stop dreaming? Sure, there are little girl dreams, like being a princess like Sleeping Beauty awakened by our prince. And ponies.
But what about big girl dreams? Somehow in life, between growing up and school and work and starting and raising a family, our dreams kind of fade away. Until we reach the point where we don’t even know what they are anymore. Like now.
I haven’t given myself the gift of time to sit down and make my list of 100 dreams. But I have been thinking about it a lot. Here are a few I can share:
• Become a professional motivational speaker
• Write a book
• Go to Times Square for New Year’s Eve
• See the Trans-Siberian Orchestra at Christmas time
• Horseback ride to the bottom of the Grand Canyon
• Take a photography class
• Take a Caribbean vacation to a tropical paradise that I’ve never been to so I can lie in the nice warm sun. Preferably with someone to rub suntan lotion on my back. (Hey, a girl can dream, right?!?)
So, how about you? Are your dreams alive and well? Do they need some reviving like mine did? Care to share any? Post them on the blog and maybe they will give me some new ideas.
