Do you remember when you were young? You felt that the world was your personal oyster, and anything you wanted or attempted was yours just for the taking. All through school, elementary, high school and college, you planned and said what you were going to do when you grew up. Failure was just not in your vocabulary. The simple truth was you could not wait to become 18 years old, the age of maturity. You fantasized about how you could go where you wanted to go, do what you wanted to do and no one would be able to tell you what to do anymore. You would have control of your own life. But it did no really turn out that way, so the next hurtle was to become 21years of age, a real woman or man, free to do as she or he pleased. Then - you got a "job" and your dreams were not so focused or clear any longer. Most of your time was spent away from home, doing something you may or may not like or may not have gone to school or college to do. You have found yourself doing just what someone else wanted you to do, the way they wanted you to do it, they don’t care or want to hear any suggestions, even though you knew there is a more efficient way to do the task. If you suggested a better way, chances are, if your suggestion is put into place and used you will not be the one to get the credit for it. As you worked day-by-day – week-by-week – month-by-month – and year-by-year your dreams became less clear and unfocused. Then, chances are, you started comparing yourself to your co-workers, neighbors and your family. You not longer compared yourself with your dreams and your passion or your own personal vision of success. Finally you conformed and your childhood dreams are just a memory or gone forever.
Do you remember how many dreams you had? Did you have dreams of a fantastic career, a big house and a great car, a loving mate and family? Maybe you wanted to visit all to states in America, travel the world and see the seven wonders of the world, see all of the lighthouses on Americas coast lines or see the castles of Europe. But some how, some way all of that passion, all of that excitement all of that anticipation, all of those expectations faded away. You conformed to your "realization", your families "realization", your friends "realization" that you want be able to have your dreams and you should just be happy to have a job, make enough money to get by. How sad it that?
Are your dreams like most dreams peoples have, the 95% of people who’s’ dreams have not come true? They work just to make ends meet, they are stress out, they hate their commute to work and they are exhausted by the time they get home. They don’t have time for their family, even worst, they feel like a strangers in their own home. They don’t like telling their family they can’t afford it, so they charge it on the credit card and get overwhelmed with credit card debt. (The average American households owe $8,000 of credit card debt.) Then they feel like failures because life did not turn out like they dreamed it would be. Or, are you like the other 5% of people, the group that never forgot their dreams, who did not conform, who decided to make their dreams come true no matter what.
