Day Dream Believing
The worst form of living death is losing the ability to day dream. I day dream all the time. I day dream eyes wide open and day dream even when others around me dismiss everything these dreams represent. Following my day dreams has led to every achievement I’ve experienced. To quote my late grandfather, you never want to sit down one day moaning, ” i wish I hadda ( tried to make day dreams real ). ”
Day dreaming is often your super self e-mailing the conscious mind things you should do to fully realize potential. Obviously all the day dreaming in the world minus action amounts to nothing.
I view my day dreams as action plans and set about instituting them into real life. As a Southern Black male of Jim Crow-Lite vintage, I’ve actively dreamed my way past decades of captive community and external day dream-busters.
My Capt Black role is a call to arms for folks of all kinds not to surrender deeply held desires to ( un )popular opinion.
There’s no need to tell you following day dreams is easy. It gets so rough that some crack under the strain and give up… or collapse by giving out! Others gather resolve to end it all rather than tolerate unending unpleasantness. I can’t honestly type here that this doesn’t have built-in risk.
All I can tell you is if you’ve ever worked a dream into reality, that supreme feeling is worth chasing for a lifetime actively realizing other day dreams.
Day Dreaming of becoming champions gives the world champions. Day dreaming about being helpers gives others much needed helping hands. Active day dreaming delivers active people ready for duty! They make the world a better place, one part at at time. A fortunate few day dreamers are able to help millions but helping even one person is enough. No good deed is too little or day dream to grand not to pursue. Somebody will benefit, beginning with you.
SUGGESTION: Give yourself a flashy name and take your day dream out into the streets. That’s how many in what the media calls the real life superhero ( RLSH ) movement pursue theirs. Calling attention to worthy causes especially when so many are overwhelmed is an indescribably valuable public service.
Day dream believing is all we have left when money is tight and doors of opportunity seem wielded shut. The more we put our day dreams into action, the more we free ourselves, with the bonus of freeing others to do the same. We can literally squeeze good out of misery if we don’t give up on making day dreams come true.
The price of day dream believing is simply paying attention.
