Don’t be afraid to Dream

I walked out early this morning and was checking out this gorgeous valley I live in and guess what I heard? The first robin of the year. It was perched on my TV antenna and was just chirping away. I was funny how I immediately picked up on a sound that had been foreign to me for the last 4 months or so. Where I live this is usually the first real sign that spring has sprung.

Now I have the spring fever and my adrenaline is pumping with the anticipation of Camping in my trailer, backpacking, 4 wheeling and Riding my Harley mile after mile with the wind in my face. What a spiritual experience each of these are for me.

I am looking at the calendar and thinking of dates and places I may like to visit this year. It is exciting as I know all of us love to plan really cool vacations, see new things and meet new people. Each adventure different than the last with its own unique memories.

As I reflect back on the last decade in this industry I have been to so many different countries and met so many really incredible people. Many of these people are now friends for a life time. Why have I been able to do this? Because I am a dreamer. I have been infected with the Dreamers Disease.

Too many people are afraid to dream and are unwilling to move out of their comfort zone. How sad is that? They go on day to day doing what they have always done and continue to get what they have always gotten.

Never stop dreaming as dreams give birth to an amazing reality. Dreamers are the ones that in many cases get ridiculed at first for our crazy ideas and goals, but are the people that make the world go around. If it weren’t for the dreams we would all still be living in a cave throwing spears at wild animals and gathering berries for food. If you look back at each major invention or accomplishment through out history you will find that most thought these adventures or dreamers were nuts. Yet they never let other people’s criticism get in the way of their dreams.

Dream big in every thing you do. Never think small. The universe sheds its energy to the big thinkers, the non stop dreamers. Be one of them and you will accomplish amazing things in life. In fact, you can achieve anything you want in life by being a dreamer and chasing, then catching your dreams.
