Inspiration of the Day - 3/10/11

I have spread my dreams beneath your feet. Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.
W.B. Yeats

Our dreams are our secret until we share them with another.  No one can know the mind of the next man unless it is God.  Often times when we do share our dreams other people may not understand and even go to the extreme of trampling all over them.  Dreams are a grand thing, and like we already discussed before, a thing with no limits or bounds.  So when presented to another person of limited thinking they often threaten, scare or annoy them, because they can not wrap there minds around that type of power you have have decided to embrace.  The point being, stand strong and never give up on your dreams no matter what anyone may say or anyone may do to hinder them.

Hold fast to dreams, for if dreams die, life is a broken winged bird that cannot fly.
Lanston Hughes

Hope and dreams are what empower us to live and strive and to achieve.  Believe it or not, a dream lies at the heart of every effort we put forth.  We see it in our minds before we ever take any action.  Some people call it "planning", but I like to recognize it on a much more potent scale and call it "dreaming".  I believe plans are limited in their scope and what they can accomplish, where as dreaming allows you unlimited opportunities within the area your are focusing on. 

Trust the dreams for hidden in them is the gate to eternity.
Kahlil Gibran

Hold fast to your dreams and know what others may think is impossible is possible.  The world as it is today is a living example.  Who would have thought 1,000 years ago that the light bulb, the automobile or sky scrappers or airplanes would exist?  Some may have dreamed of it at night, but awoke to let the dream die.  Others dreamed and tried and tried, but never made it happen, but never lost sight of their dreams and laid the ground work for those that came after them.  And now today those things exist and are a reality.

We live in a dream world...so recognize it for what it is!  Don't become jaded to the miracles that surround you every day!
