Whats your dream (file under everyone has a dream)

Leon Joseph Cardinal Suenens once said; “Happy are those who dream dreams and are ready to pay the price to make them come true.” In my experience I have seen that many people are willing to state their dream but are not willing to take action. You see the dreaming is not enough, you need to be willing and able to act, every day, toward the future that you dream of.

My dream, quite simply, which I have put into action, is to have my fortieth birthday extravaganze in my restaurant. The one which I picture every day in somewhat abstract detail as I move toward its realization. I am guided in my dream by those that share my passion. That are willing to do what it takes to take their own lives to the next level. I am further guided by the love of my life, C, my confidant, best friend, lover and more. She is also one of the predominant reasons that I am living my dream today. I will illustrate.

C is more than just, intelligent, beautiful and charming. She too has a dream and I have always strived to aid her as best I could in the realization of that dream. For a period of weeks or months every year she goes off in pursuit of her dreams and I support her in every way I can. Currently, in pursuit of her dream I have been very lonely, as she is in Manhattan and I am here. But, as we are both living our dream or actively moving toward them it makes it a little easier. Nonetheless it is hard. But with dreams, real dreams, with people willing to take action toward them, it is an honour, and indeed a badge of courage to be able to support someone elses reach for the stars and it makes us stronger in our pursuit both as individuals and as a couple.

So what does my restaurant look like? What will it serve? Who will I be? What shall I become? Well these are all questions that will be answered in the next six years and I hope you are all ready because you have a front seat as spectators and I hope participants in my dream.

This does beg the question. What are you doing to fulfill your dreams?

Are you dreaming big and inspired?

Adlin Sinclair once said; “You are the embodiment of the information you choose to accept and act upon. To change your circumstances you need to change your thinking and subsequent actions.”

Steve Jobs once said; “Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”

So what is your next step?
