Hello Everyone!
I had an intriguing conversation this weekend, one which gave me pause...it has been reverberating in my mind ever since, so I thought I would bring it into this place to discuss further. I figured there is a reason for its haunting me, continuing to rattle around in my brain like Marley's Ghost on Christmas Eve!
I was sharing dinner with a person who has been significant in my life, and the topic of having, living and being accountable to our dreams for our futures. You know, those personal visions that pull us forward, awakening us to possibilities and opportunities we would never have known otherwise.
My dinner partner stated, point blank, "If you have people who you are depending on you, you can't have dreams. You just have to live."
And my response was, "It is precisely FOR those people that you MUST continue to dream. If your ability to dream dies, what do you teach those you love?"
As I said, it sparked further dialogue between us, with me looking at this person quizically, wondering, "Have we EVER known each other?!"
Why do you continue dreaming?
What do your dreams fuel for you?
Where would you be without your dreams, visions, plans or possibilities for a more vibrant, fulfilling future?
Answer any or all.....I really would enjoy hearing your responses....I can tell this conversation is going to be a memorable one for me. Perhaps it will be for you, as well.
With Purpose and Passion,
JULIE
