I have a dream; a goal I want to see succeed. To live in a mansion and sit on that big chair. Surrounded by servants.... that have really good hair. I see myself sitting near my swimming pool. I look around, and say "I did it! I made my dream happen." Man, how happy I look. And when it happens, I will make the most of it. I'll make myself that person everyone wants to be. What about the money you may ask? Well, I will surrounded in cash. So much cash that I will buy anything I ever wanted, I'll buy my wife anything she ever wanted. Money! Man will I be rich!
Well that's what I told myself. But as I got older, the more I began to realize that my dream wasn't going to happen. I wasn't going to live in a mansion, I wasn't going to sit in that big chair. I wasn't going to be surrounded by servants with really good hair. Why? I didn't try hard enough, I didn't chase the dream. I expected it all to come even without work. I looked so much into the future, that I lost focus of the present. The present, that is what is real; that is what counts. If we don't give the present all we got, then we may not see ourselves where we want to be in the future.
But it isn't too late! There is still time to change! Opportunities will come, and when they do, we must take it. Don't let yourself lose your dream, always keep it your objective! But if there is anything I want you to escape with today, it is that we must first get through the present before we see ourselves in the future... Ask yourself, "Where will you be?"
