Mother's Day - Has come and gone...

I can tell you from experience that peoples dreams many times are just like Holidays or special days for recognition.
Let me see if I can explain it enough to make sense.
I have a 5 year old son, Mason, and he is such a great teacher for me, it is the understanding that he has that makes this example work.

He really wants it to be his birthday, and almost everyday he asks, or even says that "tomorrow is my birthday, I have waited long enough." We have to explain to him that his b-day is not for a few months.

What does this have to do with peoples dreams? Its about always looking forward to a future event, the excitement, all the "what if" kind of thoughts and suddenly it shows up! And we come to find out that its over so quick, that we may feel we missed out on some of the event.

I have witnessed people talking about what they will do when... and if they only had this or that it would make such a big difference. Only to eventually get the "this or that" they were wanting... and nothing changes.

Make sure that you are keeping your targets in focus, that you have moved everyday closer to your destination and that you keep checking your compass to make sure that you continue on the right track.
If you do that, they you will know when you are getting closer, you will know what to look for when it gets there, and you will be able to leverage that day more then you ever thought possible.
Don't let your dreams come and go.

Don't let your thoughts talk you out of your dreams.
