Wake Up and Dream
Last night I
had a nightmare. In it all of my naysayers stood around me telling me that I
was dreaming and that I should stop.
They were
all of the folks who have told me to stop dreaming; stop living; stop being.
My entire
life is one big dream that keeps getting better when I believe, work,
learn and do.
I told the
naysayers just that and they laughed at me. Just when I was about to allow my
feelings to be hurt, I noticed something; their laughter was not real. It was
that uncomfortable laughter folks create when they realize that you know
something that they don’t.
One of the
naysayers stopped laughing and came and stood by me, then another and another.
Only a few
were left shaking their heads, telling me to stop dreaming; to wake up.
So I started laughing because I
remembered that I was dreaming and that what is real is what I define as such.
So wake up and dream. Conceptualize
the dream and work hard at it.
Surround yourself with people who
love and support you and your dreams even if they don’t understand them.
Everyone dreams; some just don’t
remember.
Imhotep did, Einstein did, Mother
Teresa did, Martin Luther King did.
Dream, learn, work, do
and dream again.
Be you, be well, be a
dreamer.
