To have hope is to dream

Dream your dreams until the passion fills you up and takes you over the top of life. Weather your dreams come true or not there is an importance in life to dreaming. It helps you direct your focus on things that give you lift in life and enables you to look ahead. When you dream you leave your body and you see things in life that's possible and it creates hope. Hope has always been like a set of stairs that lead somewhere and when you don't know where if it takes you a lifetime  to negotiate those stairs the journey has seen you through countless days. The human existence has forever depended on hope and dreaming is the bedfellow of hope and altered reality.  Dont lose focus on reality however allow yourself to kick aside the rules and dream imagine and let lose. This rejuvenates you and allows you to see in color some changes that you maybe can implement in your life. People pay big money to teach folks to dream and that's something we all have the ability to do on our own. Just give it some practice it's in all of us.
