A Dream Into Reality

You and I may have different views on what the great American Dream may be.  Some may say it’s fame, some may say it’s fortune, and others may say it's the right to be free.  Every person has a different goal set out for their lives, an achievement that they want to reach before a certain time in their life. (A "bucket list" if you will).  Now honestly, what is the "American Dream"? My answer would be to achieve your most sought-after goal.

Everyone has a goal they have set for themselves to complete personally.  It's what makes an individual, an individual.  If we all had the same sets of goals, then what would be the purpose of trying to be the best you could be?  Even as a child, there was something you wanted to be, whether it was the President, or an astronaut.  There has always been something to strive for in life.  To be able to someday complete that sought-after goal, can make your soul shine brighter than the sun.  It can't come easily though, it comes from hard work and dedication.  Time, effort and the will to push through the thoughts and voices of yourself, and from others around you.  My main goal in life, is to become a successful therapist for couples, married and dating.  I want to help people, and I feel I am good at helping them in that way.  It will take time, and it sure will take effort, but I am willing to put every single ounce of my will to make sure I reach that long-term goal.

A dream, doesn't have to stay a dream.

 Why not make it a reality?

 Reach up and pull out that dream from your thought bubble above your head, and cling it to your chest.  Act as if you'll never let go of it.  Make it so that you know in your mind, body, and soul, that you will achieve this goal.  You know you can do it, because you have wanted it for so long.  Say, you want to be a famous singer, but you're tone deaf.  Not being able to hit that high C isn't going to hold you back.  You have to practice stretching those vocal cords, every single day.  Dedicate your free time to practicing different ranges and pitches so your voice becomes comfortable with the changes.  All that time and effort put in, will come out in your great achievement.  You can go and sing on small stages, work your way up until that one-day where someone sees your true talent and makes you a star.  How would that make you feel?  All that time and work put into making your dream come true, what would you do? What would you say?

Would it be somewhere along the lines of...

"This was once a dream, now it's a reality."
