Dreams or Nightmares

It is a fine line between dreams and nightmares.  We all dream for the future, make our plans and march forward towards fulfilling our dreams.  As young children our parents and teachers tell us to dream big, the world is your oyster.  We are told we can accomplish anything we set our mind to do.

Work hard!

Work!

Work!

Work!

Bite off more than can be chewed! 

Drown your dreams with work!

We write lists to manage the errands and we keep calenders to remember where we need to be.  Hurry and rush around, go here, go there. With each dream we employ, our lives become complicated and our list grows, beyond the number of hours in each day.

Our dreams become a nightmare of unmanageable tasks.  We stall, we fall, we head for a crash.  

Take a step back, focus on one dream at a time.  Which dream should you choose?  Which direction is best to fulfill your dream?

Take a day to practice the art of doing nothing.

Ease the rushing.  Sit still ~ enjoy the sun.  Read a book under the shade of a tree.  Don't just dream of a day where you do nothing ~ do it!

Don't let your dreams become nightmares!
