"There are some people who live in a dream world,and there are some who face reality, and then there are those who turn one into the other". Douglas H. Everett

Turning dreams into reality, now there's a concept! And, might I add, not necessarily an easy one. It takes a lot of hard work to follow our dreams and put ourselves out there in the real world holding our heads high and believing in where we want to go, but that's just it we do need to go!

Many of us get caught up in what we believe we're supposed to do as opposed to what we really WANT to do.

Recently, I had a conversation with a young man who works at my bank. How we got on the subject, I don't know, but we were talking about living and loving life and what he really wanted to do was to be a martial arts instructor instead of a bank employee; however, he didn't feel he could earn enough money as an instructor to some day buy a house.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHH, is what goes on inside my head when I hear things like that - I just scream it! A house is a house is a house - a life is so far more important!

My suggestion to him, how about teaching martial arts leading to your own studio, leading to hiring others to teach as well leading to a chain of studios leading to buying a house. In other words, the best of both worlds by turning a dream into a reality.

Voila!
