The Secret to Living Your Dreams

by | Dec 10, 2019 | Essays

Everybody starts with dreams.  But then the world beats them up and tells them to get a job instead.  Most people listen because they don’t think they have a choice.  It’s that, or get beat up again.  Others don’t listen and keep chasing their dreams no matter how many times they get beat up.  When one dream dies, they just carry right on with a new one.  That’s the real secret to living dreams.  You just start today and keep doing it.  You do the verb every single day until you become the noun.  That’s all there is to it.  Pick up the guitar.  Learn to dance.  Start taking gymnastics.  Even if you’re 100 years old.  That dream is still there waiting for you to be lived.  That dream is not there by accident.  It’s there because you’re supposed to do it.
