More Than A Dreamer...

More than a dreamer to me means that you not only dream, but you wake up and put those dreams into action and make them a reality.

Dreams are basically stories and images our mind creates while we sleep. Dreams can occur anytime during sleep, but the most vivid dreams occur during deep, REM (rapid eye movement) sleep, when the brain is most active. Our dreams allow us to go places where we ordinarily would not dare to venture.

To me, dreams are a state of rest wherein our mind and bodies are free to roam the universe.

Let your dreams motivate you in life to accomplish those hidden moments where we are allowed to indulge in our wildest dreams. Life is futile and short. Why waste time wondering what could have been or what should have been? Instead lead a life that is fulfilling. Remember, we are standing on the shoulders of giants. Our ancestor’s burdens were greater with fewer resources and we must always be mindful that our resources are greater than our burdens.

I will admit it it's true what Forrest Gump said, “Life is like a box of chocolates and you don’t know what you are going to get”. Recognize that certain elements of life are not within our control, however, there are those elements that we can control and we should guide those to the best of our abilities. You will be living your best life and will refuse anything and anyone that causes you not to be in control of your mind body and soul. Making those decisions and choosing extra-curricular activities that requires your heart to beat out of your chest. Until you recognize your own heart beat and rhythm then you are not living.

Allowing yourself to be more than a dreamer means taking those dreams and making them a reality. Living your best life will cause you to be nervous and uncertain of the outcome. Those are the risks in life worth taking. Whether you win, lose or tie. That’s when you know you are living your life. Those physiological responses are there to reassure us that we are co-creators with the Universe. Use that energy to push you to do and be more. Life is futile. Here today and gone tomorrow.
