Dreams

“Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you’ve imagined.”
~ Henry David Thoreau ~

Dreams are rest stops on this long trip — a chance to catch your breath and see how far you’ve come before you decide where you’re headed next. Thoreau’s not talking about waiting around for things to line up. He’s saying go now, with confidence, toward the life you can already see in your head.

You don’t need the whole map. Just the next step, taken on purpose.

    “Don’t let yesterday take up too much of today.”~Will Rogers~ Simple as it sounds. Yesterday had its moments — good and bad. But it’s done.
