The following is the start of a piece I was writing. I decided to write it as a reaction to a few comments I heard from people about their dreams. Their dreams of things they wanted to be in life; and their doubts about those dreams.
This is what I came up with so far:
[The best thing you can do for yourself is have a plan. I suppose there are those of us that like to be spontaneous or some bullshit, but they have a plan for SOMETHING. I am not talking about saying you are going to be a rock star, that's not a plan. That's a dream and a good dream to have, but the plan is what makes that dream. So sitting around all day smoking weed and picking at your guitar in your mom's basement is not working a plan towards your dream.
Know your dreams, and then research the dream.
Find out about others who are living your dream, because you aren't the first person to dream it. They are the people who have made a mistake that you can avoid.
Research the world surrounding your dream. Maybe it hasn't changed for a long time, or maybe it is constantly changing. Learn how to adapt to that world and learn what you need to adapt to it.]
For a few days I have been coming back to this to try and finish it, but I seem to be stuck at this point. It just now occurred to me that I CAN’T finish it. How am I supposed to tell someone how to have a plan and reach a dream when I have not done that myself.
Where I have left off is where I am currently at. I have a dream, and I have a plan. So far this is where I am at and when the next part of my plan is successful, whatever it may be, I will be able to tell people.
For now, don’t leave your dreams in the dream world. Think of your dream constantly as you do everything you do. Think of it as you make important choices. Most of all, don’t forget them or they may forget you.
p.s. The title of this entry has shifted my mind to my dreams about me being Gwen Stefani:
Don’t speak, I know just what your sayin
So please stop explainin
Don’t tell me cause it hurts
Nooo nooo nooooo
