My Many Many Dreams

There is nothing wrong with dreaming, but I think sometimes we get lost in these dreams, and sometimes we get stuck on just one dream, spending entirely too much time dwelling on what we want, instead of working on how to get it.

It might be a little tough to pull yourself out of a dream, but it's necessary to remind yourself that there are many dreams to dream, so why spend so much time and focus on only one dream? Why put your happiness on hold for something when you are perfectly capable of being just as happy, if not happier by choosing another route, or fulfilling a different dream.

I think it could be kind of fun to create a sort of dream time-capsule. It could be something simple, like a decorated up shoe box that you hide under your bed, or stash away in your closet. I don't mean your dreams that come to you as you sleep (although that would be fun too). When I say dreams, I'm talking about your aspirations, your hopes. When you think of something new you want to do with your life just jot it down on a little slip of paper, with no limitations on how long or short they can be. Simple, quick scribbles or long, elaborate plans with steps on how to get there included.

I'm not sure if referring to it as a time-capsule is the right way to describe it, because you can feel free to look through it as often as you would like, as a matter of fact I encourage you to take the time every once in a while to reread, change or edit your dreams, but don't throw anything out. Make sure that you date them, just so you know that as you dream and envision how you want things, you are somewhat tracking your growth as you take the steps to persevere and make your dreams come true.
