has perhaps my favorite music lyric of all time when he sings:"don’t let your dreams be dreams/
you know this living’s not so hard as it seems"
“Don’t let your dreams be dreams.” That is such a simple thought, but if we would actually listen to it and live our lives by that motto, how different they would be. Instead of putting off our plans or hopes for the future for another day, we would take them by storm, never taking no for an option, and never settling for less than everything that we were called to be.
I suspect we would be happier, more fulfilled, more joyful, more caring, more loving, more patient, more kind. We would know that our life has meaning, and a very tangible meaning, rather than having to search for a reason to wake up in the morning and get through the workday. I suspect we would barely even recognize ourselves, because we would change the “somedays” in our life to “today.” Instead of hoping that we would be able to accomplish something, we would actively be working on it.
As Henry David Thoreau would say, “Live the life you’ve imagined.” Don’t let your dreams be dreams.
If not now, when?
