Learn To Dream Again
By:Louie Jones

Never stop dreaming. If for some reason you have...find out exactly where our dream got sidetracked. Which begs the question. What happens to a dream deferred? What happens to the hopes and desires of the dreamer? In other words, when the dream dies, what happens to the dreamer? I think the problem is that we've let life beat us down to the point where we go through the days merely reacting. We begin to grow in the direction of what society is right and proper. We stay inside of a social box because we want to fit in and be seen as normal. But remember, those individuals who have made the greatest impact were at one time or another looked upon as "different".

We're ashamed to let anyone know that we have dreams because they may laugh or think we've "lost it". But I can tell you that just about everyone you know is harboring secret dreams, no matter what they may say. I'm also here to let you know that it's never too late to pursue your dream. "Where do I start?", you say. First develop a clear picture of your fulfilled dream. Think about it night and day. On the strength of that vision, you will subconsciously begin to gravitate to your dream one step at a time. Most importantly, don't give up. The minute you give up on your dream, you've just told yourself that you're going to accept whatever life gives you. It's time to cheer for yourself!!!. Live your dream!!!

Don't let your age be a factor. I'm reminded of a story about Satchel Paige, the great pitcher who spent his prime years in the Negro Leagues. He didn't make it to the Major Leagues until late in his career and yet, he was one of the best pictures of his time. He had a famous quote that we should all ask ourselves. "How old would you be if you didn't know how old you were?" Would you be pursing your dreams? What would you be doing? Would you wake up tomorrow morning eager to learn some new skill? I don't know about you, but my life is just hitting full stride.

To those whose dreams are almost close enough to touch, I say..don't give up!! For those of you who are living your dream...keep on keepin' on. Let your dreams continue to lead you. You must now help others to reach their dreams. Let them know how it feels to be soaring on the wings of a dream fulfilled.

Above all....Never stop dreaming!!!!
