Dream the Day Away

Many times during the day or in the evening, or anytime in general, I catch myself day dreaming. It can be about anything and it will pull all of my attention away from what I am doing.

I feel that is important to dream, because without dreams, we have no want to get better, or no vision we want to accomplish in life. Dreams can push a person to strive for greatness, or their own form of it. I often catch myself dreaming of what I want my life to be like after I get done with college. A house set in the center of a section, a lake behind it with timber surrounding.

I dream of the house to be around 7,000 sq. ft. so I have plenty of room when I want family to stay, plus I want to adopt many, many children over the years. I dream of having enough money that it will never be an issue, and when anybody asks for money it would never be an issue to give it away. But that is a dream, so far. Hopefully after the next three and a half years of college, I can land a six figure job somewhere travelling for some engineering firm. They love to send single, young, and straight out of college newbies to foreign countries to get the jobs! As soon as I have enough saved up, I plan to invest it into land for a place to build my house. I like quotes, so I found some that I really liked, here are a few. “To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe”- Anatole France. “If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with success unexpected in common hours”-Henry David Thoreau.

“A dreamer is one who can only find his way by moonlight, and his punishment is that he sees the dawn before the rest of the world”- Oscar Wilde. Dreaming, I think, is the most important key to success or change in life. I mean, “I dream,” were two words said by one man that changed the rights for a whole race. If Martin Luther King Jr. can change civil rights with those two words, why can’t I change the world when I say it?
