People cannot help the conditions that they are born in. Most people make their peace with it. Some don’t. Those people change the world.
It is not important what you have, whether you are living in utter poverty or rolling in money. What is more important is, what do you dream of at the night? What do you aspire to, in the day? It is those two things, which push or pull you in the directions you want to go.
The importance of our dreams is, in the way we look at the world. The glass may be half full for some and half empty for the others. For those whose glass is half empty, take heart because you can still muster the courage to push the world upside down and the glass will be half full again.
A happy pocketful of dreams for all of you! 🙂
Sasha Hunter - An Awakening 
I was up most of the night with a sick family member, 20 year old Billie, with an horrid choking cough…gave her a hug and made her Tapioca pudding at dawn…she is sleeping well now, having seen the doctor at 1am.
I will go sleep well now, having read your morning post…perchance to capture my night’s dreams before they vanish with the morning dew.
Thank you Sasha,
Evelyn Atholl Moir
Sweet dreams Evelyn. I hope Billie get well soon. Best wishes.
[…] The importance of being a Dreamer. […]
where would any one of us be if we didn’t dream, of love and lust, power and play, innocence, violence and the natural way?
Deep and lovely thoughts:-) Fun to find and read you. Thanks for stopping by foodforfun’s granola and baked apples so I could stumble upon your posts!
Lose dreams and everything is lost. There used to be an old saying about riding horses over jumps: throw your heart over and the horse will follow – it’s that way in life – and with teachers and their students. Dreams above all else.
Nice post. Of course there is a difference between life in poverty and life with money – the money gives you choice and opportunity to realise dreams. Was it Sophie Tucker said, ‘I’ve been rich and I’ve been poor. Rich is better.’
I look back and have always dreamed, some dreams come into realizations and that feels amazing and when the others don’t I have to move onto the next one. I hope I never lose the ability to dream, if I do I hope I can have the courage to make that glass half full again!
It is the dreamers who believe in a better world, one where people are kind and justice is available. It is the dreamers who work for their dreams that make the world a better place.
Thank you for your inspiring words.
