Talk About It First

"To run where the brave dare not go". When I hear Roberta Flack sing those lyrics from "The Impossible Dream" I think about people like David, Harriet Tubman, Ghandi, Dr. King, and President Obama. These people had a vision of what seemed to be an impossible dream and very little means to make that dream come to fruition, but they were successful because they spoke what they dreamed into existence. If everyone in the world kept their dreams to themselves, they would all be chalked up as "weird thoughts" If the Wright brothers never told each other they wanted to put a machine in the sky that would transport people, the highways would be more packed than they already are. And there would have never been a need for those highways if Henry Ford would have listened to the people's demand for faster horses instead of automobiles.

More than ever before, our world is dependent on breakthroughs made possible by people who were once told their dreams were impossible.

If there is something you want to do, tell someone, anyone (including yourself). But you are the only person that can't tell yourself "no", because that will be the end of that dream.

PEACE.
