dreams.


I dream of a world where people tolerate one another with love and compassion. I'm tired of people who think they know everything and everybody must be exactly like them. That sort of thinking is antiquated and counterproductive and frankly, fewer and fewer people are able to get away with it now. We need to accept and appreciate each other's differences. Diversity is the spice of life and there are often many ways to do something.


I want to avoid discriminating. Many of us have been programmed to discriminate on the basis of age, sex or appearance. In fact, judging people on what we say is a natural reaction, but we should catch ourselves. When we accept others, others will accept us, too. The problem with judgmental, holier than thou people is they don't accept themselves, so they don't accept others.


I dream of helping as many people as I can with my energy. Many of the things I discover help me and I love offering them to others. To me, that's a core reason for my journey - to learn and to reveal.

 
 

i was only dreaming.

 

I love dreamers and most of my friends tend to be the kinds of people who like to talk about concepts and ideas instead of people. Well, at least to my face.

You decide what you think about, what or who you fear and how you respond to facts and lies. Don't make excuses, delay or wait for a lightning bolt.

Life is short. Redeem the time and don't waste it. It's your most valuable resource.

Invest your time in others. You'll be more fulfilled when you have a relationship with someone much older than you and someone much younger than you.

close your eyes.

 

Never think you're going to feel, look or think just like you do right now forever. Everything is constantly changing. Don't get lost in the shuffle or the crowd. Cultivate a hunger for knowledge and make it one of your quests. Without it, you're going to suffer.

Appreciate the people who invest their time and resources in you. We cannot do everything alone. Great people have learned from other great people, so don't be afraid to give credit where credit is due. It doesn't take anything away from you.

We are one, but we're not the same.
