Unfortunately many, if not most, people have ceased to dream, especially by this advanced age of 50. They get so caught up in their day to day lives, the stress and pressures of bill paying, going to an unfulfilling job, chores, etc. Dreaming is a distant memory. Even sadder is when a young person says the same words, "you cant have it all." If they are asked about their dreams and passions, often they look blankly. For some, the diminishing of their dreams happens in their childhood. For others, like myself, the ability to dream slowly erodes over time. BUT..it is never truly gone.
Recently, I was reminded that there is still a dream inside of me. It is never too late to dream and reach for that dream. What a sad world it would be if we all stopped dreaming. What a sad time it was for me when I had ceased to dream. Now that the world of dreams, hopes and passions has been reopened, its incredible. Its almost like a rebirth, an awakening. I can see what having it "all" really means and its beautiful.
Looking outside this morning at one of God's most beautiful works of nature, listening to music, watching the flame flickering in my candles, I realized that I almost have it all. I am blessed beyond belief. If I had not reawakened my dreams, my life would be so empty. Now it is full and I intend to keep on making it fuller. There is a world of possibility out there and dreams DO come true, no matter what your age. So Ill reach, grab it and have it ALL, thank you very much.
