I have noticed a decline in America over time and one that troubles me a lot is the lack of dreaming. America is the land of opportunity and has explored everything from the swamps to the stars, but today most seem to just want to get thru things. I never thought I would hear and see so many Americans ACCEPT the status quo.
• What do adults leaving college have to look forward to?
• Can you imagine if someone publicly stated today that their goal was to become a millionaire? Do you think that person would be celebrated or demonized?
• Likewise do you think if a person stated their only career aim was to own a private jet? What would the re-action be?
Society has been so dumbed down by the media and politicians that being successful is bad. Even government programs like NASA are no longer…. I will never forget a quote from Pretty Woman:
Welcome to Hollywood! What’s your dream? Everybody comes here; this is Hollywood, land of dreams. Some dreams come true, some don’t; but keep on dreamin’ – this is Hollywood. Always time to dream, so keep on dreamin.
So I ask you, please take time out sometime and remember what dreams you had as a kid? But also what are your dreams now? Remember NO BIG DREAM COMES TRUE WITHOUT DREAMING BIG!!!!
Dreaming? Become a published author, have all my bills & debts paid & retire comfortably enough to be able to travel now and then.
A saying I try follow: Keep your head in the sky and your feet on the ground. 🙂 Never stop dreaming!
