Dreams...

"In Dreams begin responsibilities, could it be we take our dreams to lightly, those images of people we know? Could they in fact be angels in flight, our souls aloft?" - William Butler Yeats

What are our dreams; our inner self; our spirit; our being, if nothing more than our true ambitions and aspirations? Dreams take us to the place where we do not dare to venture but where we would prefer to be, without having to leave the safe existence of our own realities...

So why don't we dare to act on these dreams, these passions? Because 'Life' usually finds a way to hold them back, repress them and as we get older we lose the 'will of youth' to show no fear. We become too comfortable within our safe existence, safe because 'Life' in its purest form is no more than a compromise and with compromise comes our own failure to push ourselves; to push our boundaries; to take the chances required to achieve the possible rewards, and thus so we compramise our dreams...

'Life' masks our dreams of 'what we want' or truely desire, it can make them appear virtually impossible to achieve, or it makes them appear a to perilous risk to take.

"The first step to getting the things you want out of life is this: Decide what you want." - Ben Stein

OK, so someones offered to lend me a Compass, now anyone got a map of Myanmar? :o)

Anon3: Remove whatever masks your soul and look inside, the answers are always there, everyone knows deep down what they should do, the question is whether or not they choose to listen...

To quote a friend... "Keep taking the risks, we miss so much by taking the easy route and the gains in having the courage to make the more difficult choices are always worthwhile."

Wallo : Yo Dude :o) Have we got a mutual friend? :o)

Ur alive, do something. The directive in life, the moral imperative is so uncomplicated, it can be expressed in single words not complete sentences - "Look. Listen. Choose. Act."

And as the Main Man said if you don't - "Life is what happens to you while youre busy making other plans." - John Lennon

Keep The Faith
