Dreams are the positive ideas created by your imagination to better your life and/or the lives of others. When you were a child you dreamed of the person you would become, the career you’d excel in, the car you would drive, the home you would live in, etc. You may still have these images in your head but have never written them down due to a fear of being considered a dreamer by family members or friends. It has been said that a person without dreams is like an observatory without a telescope. Take a second and think of a world where no one imagined or dreamed outlandish things. Where would we be without the light bulb, the automobile, airplanes, trains and other life changing inventions? At one point I’m sure there was a chuckle or two when these thoughts were exposed. However, these inventors and adventurers had enough persistence to see these Dreams become reality to the benefit of us all.

Example Dream: To become a public speaker
