Thoughts To Dream By

If you think your dreams

Will “just happen,”

Think again – they won’t,

If you think this

And do nothing.

If you think your dreams

Will come true overnight,

Think again – dreams take time.

In the meantime, work hard,

And realize it’s the journey

That gives dreams their meaning.

If you think your dreams

Depend upon someone else,

Think again – only you

Can give what is in you,

What your dreams give you

Depends upon what you’ve given them.

If you think dreams

Are only for the lucky,

Think again –

Luck doesn’t make dreams come true,

Dreamers do.

You’re lucky if you realize this.

If you think dreams

Come without disappointments,

Think again – they will come,

But no disappointment is insurmountable

Unless you give up.

If you think your dreams

Are impossible,

Think again – every heartbeat tells you they aren’t,

Every heartbeat gives you the chance you need

More than anything else.

If you think your dreams

Exceed your abilities,

Think again – today’s abilities exceed yesterday’s,

And tomorrow’s will exceed today’s.

It’s not lack of ability that holds you back

But lack of faith.

If you think your dreams

Are unimportant,

Think again – only they can give you

What you don’t have now

And what you can’t be happy without.

If you think your dreams

Don’t require commitment,

Think again – commitment is the most important

Thing they require.

If you think your dreams

Can wait forever,

Think again – before it’s too late.

Life is too precious to miss,

And your dreams are too.

It’s in achieving them that you find

true happiness…..
