A Dreamer's Dilemma

 I'm a dreamer. I always have been and always will be to a certain extent. I have big ideas that come to me at random moments and I gaze off into the sunset imagining how they are going to change my life and often the lives of those around me. While there's nothing wrong with dreaming, a dream cannot be realized without work. HARD WORK!!!  ......and that's where the problem lies.

It's so easy to imagine and suppose and theorize; but when it's time to put your hand to the task can I really come out of the dream into a reality that is often challenging and sometimes not very pleasant.  In itself, life is constantly calling us to do this or that and we have to comply on the most basic level just to survive. But survival is not what I want,. I want to THRIVE and I believe I can but it involves work that a lot of the time is not comfortable. Soooo, in my case that means, I can make phone calls or I can wait by the phone for people who don't know me to call. I can go out and network or I can sit at home "waiting" to be discovered. I can practice and perfect my performance craft or I can rub a magic genie lamp and play like Clapton. NOT! It just won't happen that way. I must make the investment to reap the benefit. 

I challenge you and myself, to dream and dream BIG but to then get up and make those dreams reality by working hard and doing the diligent things to be, do and have what we want!
