Do you have dreams? No, not the ones that happen while you're asleep. The ones that inspire your life. How are these dreams doing? The ones you had as a kid or as a young adult, the ones you have now - dreams that inspire you and give a sense of passion and purpose to your life.  

Erma Bombeck once said, "There are people who put their dreams in a little box and say 'Yes, I've got dreams - of course I do!' Then they put the box away, bring it out once in a while to look inside and, yep, they're still in there. These are great dreams, but they never get out of the box."  

So, if your dreams don't have anything to do with daily life, what in the world are they for?  Jenny Craig, founder of the highly successful national weight-loss clinics said, "It's not what you do once in a while - it's what you do day in and day out that makes the difference."    

So, take that dream out of the box, put it into the middle of your heart and the center of your mind, and build your daily life around it. You don't let a day go by without making some progress toward realizing that dream. You affirm it, visualize it, set goals toward it, research it, and share it with those who can help you. In short, you live and breathe that dream.  

And one day, you'll have to retire it and get a new one, because you will have made this dream come true. And that's good news!
