This weekend as I talked to high school students, I asked them this question...
many looked back back with empty stares...
sometimes I think that we forget that we are allowed to dream...
sometimes I think that we forget that everything that hasn't happened yet is a dream...
what do u dream about?
as for me...
I dream about
doing 10 pull ups...
going on a long bike ride on Saturday...
My boys finding happiness...
long walks with my wife on sandy beaches...
EMG doing 100 million in revenue...
building a company that inspires people...
building a company with purpose, with meaning, that provides an exciting environment of growth for everybody in it...
inapiring others...
creating something from nothing...
running with a smile on my face...
taking the Blue Ocean high school competition national...
finding a way to inspire teenagers...
changing the world in some small way...
sitting in a hot tub in my back yard... With friends...
spending more time not in a hurry...
living life at my pace...
being a great friend, father and husband...
learning to be a great leader...
watching my kids grow older and wiser...
spending weeks in Peru...
writing a book that people want to read, and makes them think...
visiting Alaska and Spain...
creating amazing strategy...
living in Europe...
earning the respect of those I respect...
helping people find harmony...
being proud of myself...
feeling like I am enough...
celebrating more...
fires on the beach...
my camping trip with my boys this Summer at the beach...
my trip to Florida with my wife...
a lifetime of being in love...
getting involved with the handicapped community again...
Philz coffee...
Peruvian ceviche...
my 50th birthday dancing with friends...
inspiring YOU ;-)
leaving the world around it slightly better for me having been a part of it...
doing 10 pull ups and feeling like I am enough... feeling satisfied that I have made some meaningful contribution to others...
I dream continuously...
Albert Einstein says, "Imagination is everything. It is a preview of our lives to come."
I would add to that...
MAYBE...
or
IF...
If I slow down enough to think about my dreams and prioritize them...
AND ONLY IF...
IF I harness the courage and TAKE ACTION today, in this moment...
To start, in some way,
to start in the direction of making them real...
what do you dream about?
harmony? ;-)
