What do you dream? Why do you dream? Remember the times you were daydreaming in class – the teacher was talking about a topic and your mind just took one bit and wondered? It may have been in Social Studies class when you are suppose to be concentrating on South America and your mind starts picturing you in a far away village playing stick ball with some native children. The colorful fabrics of their clothes brighten the backdrop. Oh what skill those people must have to weave the designs by hand. It could be a trip by the village stream and you are looking for special stones. Dreams are an outlet for our creativity.
The successful people in this world each have a dream and act on that dream. In many ways a vision might be the same as an advanced dream. You repeat that dream in your mind and start to build. It may be several dreams but you move forward with those dreams. Some work out some don’t. In a small way each of us can enrich our lives by having a creative outlet that is part of our daily lives. Not career altering but a growth area for each of us. It might be a dream to design a quilt for each of our grandchildren, or build a doll house for each granddaughter, or make 5 afghans for the church bazaar. It might be to make a blanket to send to “Blankets of Hope” to support our troups. These are little dreams. Sometimes we start small and then grow to greater dreams, goals. Can you imagine painting a picture of that mountain village you daydreamed about when your teacher was talking?
If we didn’t dream what would we have. We build our homes, our families on our dreams. The reality of life has been developed from dreams. The successful actress, the star musician, the father of eight might all be dreams come true.
