Dreams

If you were to ask ten five-year olds what they want to do in life, nearly all of them would have a clear answer.

They will say that they want to be a doctor or an actor or something similar.

If you were to then ask ten eight-year olds what they want to do in life, most of them would be able to give you a clear response.

If you were to then ask ten teenagers what they want to do in life, probably half of them would give a clear definition.

Finally, if you were to ask ten adults what they want to do in life, very few would actually be able to give an acceptable definition.

In fact, most adults would tell you all of the things that they do not want to do, as opposed to that which they do want to do!

It is our dreams and ambitions that keep us alive and growing. As they grow uncertain with confusion and fear, life becomes so much harder.

Imagine going out on a journey and not being sure exactly where you are going to. The chances are that you will get lost and confused. The truth is that most adults live their life like that. They get so caught up in the journey and its difficulties that they forget where exactly they are trying to go to. Take a lesson from your children, be clear with what you want and, in most cases, that is exactly what you will end up with.
