Dreams...

I was listening to Traditional Persian Music via Internet Radio, drinking a Coca-Cola, smoking a Pall Mall and thinking about how much pain my lower back was having at that particular moment when I recieved this e-mail from the Professor of my Ethics Class.

Dreams are the fuel that feeds our ambition, a source of strength, and cause for progress. Without dreams, hope dies. All great human achievements in the Universe started with a dream, a spark of imagination which turned into an idea which blossomed into an action plan. The end results are always a new way of life. Not all of us will have colossal ideas that change the course of humanity, but all of us have dreams that can better our own lives. Thosewho have dreams are full of life and a sense of purpose. Let goof dreams and you let go of far more than just a good idea or two, you also lose apart of yourself.

There are a lot of dream sabotagers out there that many use as an excuse to let go of their dreams: fear, lack of time, not enough money, and the list goes on. In a society conditioned
towards instant gratification, it can become easy to lose sight of long term possibilities. With every great dream comes the innovation to work through obstacles if enough effort is put forth. It is important to remember that dreams are a vital part of life. They
push us tobecome who we truly are, and to express ourselves as individuals.
