"The path to a dream is paved with sacrifices and lined with determination. And although it has many stumbling blocks along the way and may go in more than one direction, it is marked with faith. It is traveled by belief in you and others but requires courage, persistence and hard work. It is conquered with a willingness to face challenges and take chances, to fail and try again and again. Along the way, you may have to confront doubts, setbacks, and unfairness. But when the path comes to an end, you will find that there is no greater joy than making your dream come true ."

I've always been a person who dreams dreams of greatness. Dreams that lead me onward in my life toward goals that at times seem impossible. I dream because within dreams I have found the possibilities of life.
"Hold fast to dreams for if dreams die, life is a broken winged bird that cannot fly."
Langston Hughes
Dreams form the foundation of my life. They anchor me within the world that is real and keep me from becoming trapped in a fake world - a world in which dreams cannot exist. This fake world surrounds us daily and causes us to wander aimlessly trying to find a point from which we can see the future when in reality the future surrounds us if we only listen to its call.
"Dreams never hurt anybody if you keep working right behind the dreams to make as much of them become real as you can."
Frank W. Woolworth
Dreams form a framework from which you can advance your path. You can see within your dreams the pathway that lies before you and as such can plan and act upon the wishes of your soul. Dreams give you the strength to move forward along a path that at times seems hard and difficult to navigate. Dreams cushion your path and give you the flexibility to withstand any difficult moments that life presents.
"Our true st life is when we are in our dreams awake."
Henry David Thoreau (1817 - 1862)
When you capture your dreams and make them real you sense a great accomplishment because you are seeing your future unfold from your heart. You see softness to life that brings you into alignment with your purpose and thereby uncover one of the greatest secrets known.
"We grow great by dreams. All big men are dreamers. They see things in the soft haze of a spring day or in the red fire of a long winter's evening. Some of us let these great dreams die, but others nourish and protect them; nurse them through bad days till they bring them to the sunshine and light which comes always to those who sincerely hope that their dreams will come true ."
Woodrow Wilson (1856 - 1924)
Dreams come at times like a whisper and it takes concentration to hear the reality they present. Within that whisper can be found profound thoughts that will propel you toward your greatest achievements. You must develop the skill to hear whispers in order to fully receive the gifts that dreams create.
"Cherish your visions and your dreams as they are the children of your soul; the blue prints of your ultimate achievements."
Napoleon Hill
When you truly hear the whispers within your dreams you will awaken and carry them into the fake world that surrounds you. You will create a new world based upon the visions you have been given and will become amazed at the wisdom that you will live as you contribute to the world of your dreams.
"The dreamers are the builders of the future -- if they don't stop dreaming."- Source Unknown
