Dreams are Serious Business

After the wrath of Hurricane Katrina, I spent a great deal of time thinking about dreams–my daughter's dreams, my dreams and my friends and family's dreams. 

Do you have a dream for your life? Have you given up on an important dream? Have you accomplished your dream? Do you see your dream clearly? If you don't have a clear dream, no strategy will save you. 

People don't reach their dreams because they don't have valid reasons to. Talent without passion equals potential without possibility.  If you have to constantly talk people into achieving their dreams, then you have to let them go.  

Put your money where your mouth is. Be willing to bet on yourself. Don't compare yourself or your dream to others. You know you own your dream when you can't be talked out of it.  When you own your dream, nobody has to get you up to fulfill it.  

Lead your life instead of accepting your life.  Articulate your vision and stay focused.  Make the right decisions and manage those decisions daily. The people who are successful are the people who handle problems.  Love what you do and do what you love.  ​
