How Dreams Become Reality
I started this with the phrase, "We're All Daydreaming on the Way to Work." And believe me there's nothing wrong with that.
But eventually we have to stop dreaming and get to doing, otherwise, well you know.
And many times we ask or think about what we'll do when opportunity presents itself and we have a wonderful plan.
But many times, opportunity presents itself when we least expect it. As Hamlet said, "the readiness is all."
I was out for my daily run Saturday and for the longest time I was dreaming about a new running route because frankly, I was getting bored. I like to run long distances so there are only so many routes I can run before they all look the same to me.
So here I was on Saturday, a nice six miler when I saw a path, a trail and I wasn't sure where it led. Now, I hate dead ends and trails that lead to nowhere but I thought and remembered what I had been dreaming about. Here it was, a new route. I took it. It turned out to be wonderful. A beautiful trail that went along a pond, through the woods and ending at a horse barn close to where I normally run anyway. It was exhilirating. And on my way home. I thought, if I had resisted that trail, it was a dream coming true, and I would have denied that to myself.
The readiness my friends, is all.
You will get what you dream of and ask for. Be ready when it comes.
