Do you Have a Dream?
How lucky we are to have a holiday that honors dreams . . . a day that celebrates the dreamer.
Martin Luther King Day is so important because it not only celebrates Martin Luther King, the man . . . it also celebrates Martin Luther King, the person who dared to dream.
It emphasizes the importance of having a dream . . . for all of us.
So many times, people who dare to dream are told, “Oh, you’re such a dreamer” . . . as though that’s a bad thing.
Or, they’re admonished not to dream too big because that is being arrogant, or that is expecting or asking for too much and then they will be disappointed, or that is being unrealistic, or . . . or . . . or . . .
Well, the dreamer’s response to all of this should be, “Of course I’m a dreamer! Everything begins with a dream.” If you read the story of every successful person . . . that success began with a dream.
And . . . No dream is too big! As recently as last year, Susan Boyle proved that. Singing “I’ve Got a Dream” from Les Miserables on the reality show “Britain’s Got Talent,” Susan Boyle, a plain looking 48-year old spinster from rural Scotland whose dream it was to be a major singing star, became a worldwide sensation within nine days of her appearance.
Seven months after that first appearance, she debuted her first CD that sold a million copies and went platinum within just a few days . . . making her a record breaking worldwide sensation in her popularity and meteoric rise, that could only be compared to the Beatlemania of the 1960’s. She even surpassed her musical idol, of whom she dreamed like being.
If you don’t dream, you can’t imagine . . . and Einstein, the greatest physicist in history, said, “Imagination is more important than knowledge.” What you can imagine is so much more powerful than what you know.
“It’s never too late to be who you might have been,” wrote Nineteenth Century English novelist, George Eliot. Who might you be if you had dared to dream? Who can you become today?
Dare to dream . . . and become the person you might have been.
Live Serendipitously . . . EnjOy . . . and Dare to Dream!
Serendipitously yours,
