It Pays To Have A Dream

When I was growing up, one habit I loved to engage in is day dreaming. Often times, I walk home from school and what I do for nearly all the time I spend on the road is to get lost in my dreams. I have so many things to day dream about: living in a big castle, riding costly automobile, having all the best of the world, meeting and dining with the world's famous and being the center of attraction every where I go. When I do these for so long, reality will Dawn on me that they were just wishes, which I have learned are not horses. This conclusion did not prevent me from doing it another day. In fact, it became a routine throughout my growing days.

What I had never been thought back then was that my day dream could become real. Nobody ever taught me that it is possible to build castle in the air and live in it later by just building it's foundation on the ground. Fortunately or unfortunately, I got to learn this Stark reality at the age of twenty-two.

I read "Unleashing The Tremendous Potentials Within You" and the veil fell off my eyes. Reality dawned on me that what I had been doing all these years had actually not been a waste of time after all. That was the first time I learnt that daydreams could be converted to reality.

Why is it that I had not been taught this at tender age? Does that mean that majority of people living on this Earth do not know about dreams and how they can change their lives with it? What a mystery!
