My Dreams

What's my dream?  Yes I am a daydreamer.  I dream at night 🌃 too.  In fact, let me see, yes, I dream all the time.  That's my favorite thing to do.  Dream away and keep dreaming.

So, what exactly is my dream ?  My dream is everyone's dream ❣️.  I am a dream merchant.  I buy and sell dream.  I will dream with you, for you,  along with you and will help make your dream come true.  

This has been my dream from childhood 💞.  When someone or anyone's dream come true I guess my dream comes true too.  And, this is my dream !  My only dream !  

You know what ?  I don't even have to worry about myself.  My dream just unfolds right in front of my eyes 👀.  I hop from branch to branch and see 🙈 who else I can dream with.  It's not only fun, it's an adventure, a journey, an exploration.  

Are you dreaming ?  Can I join you ?  Let's dream together and reach for the ⭐✨ stars.  Together, we can bring so much happiness.  

Your dream, my dream can light 🕯️ up into everyone's dream ❣️.  Let's make each other's dream come true.

Let's explain....!

Do we need to?  Do we have to ?  Explain what ! What did I do?

Isn't it so unnecessary that we keep giving explanation?  Do we owe anyone any explanation.....at all? 

The answer is NO.  We don't owe anyone any explanation unless we have wronged them.  Period.  But what happens when we try explaining?  It seems that we are trying to convince someone which is none of their business anyway.  The more we explain, the more the question ❓❓❓ inflicted on you and it all ends up with feeling guilty.  In other words, it doesn't end up well enough.  

So, what's the solution when interrogated or interviewed by random people trying to make a conversation ? 'Stick to the point.'. Not a word more, not a word less. Or maybe sometimes, no words at all.  

Words are not the only tools of communicating.  Try silence or 👀😈 even facial expressions 😂.  It works!  Believe me!  

We owe no explanation to no one!  It's that simple.  Don't ask, don't tell.  Yes don't put the other person in that awkward position that he has to explain himself while he is struggling to rescue himself.  We wouldn't  want to be trapped in such a situation.  

Besides, explanation not only makes the conversation longer, it's makes it lose its flavor and makes it hard to swallow or digest.  Already I am feeling sick 🤢 just writing about.  Imagine having to undergo it!  

Let's just halt here and end 🔚 in a respectful way.  We need no explanation 😁.  Or do we???

The New Calendar Year : 2021

Every new calendar year is full of promises, surprises, challenges and so many unopened gifts 🎁.  2021 will be no different.  But it is definitely up to every individual how they will perceive it and more importantly what they will make of it!

2021 is a clean slate, a white piece of 📜 paper handed to us.  Let's write it and be an author of our own dreams, goals and plans.  We write, we recite.  Every word therein is a reflection of our thoughts and choices. 

It's we who make these important decisions.  Whether we want to ignore the shadows and bask in the sunshine 🌞 or sulk in the the darkness of our dark 🌑 thoughts💭 and ignore the golden 🌞 sunshine and golden opportunities.  Which will it be?

Just like 2020 is not coming back, neither will the rest of the years that passed us by long ago.The way you structure the new year will be the way you live with it.  It's more than a thought...... it's a desire.  An effort that will bring results, the results of your own choices.  

Wishing everyone a very productive and wholesome 2021.  A year to be always grateful for and proud of.

I spelled success with Determination

Success was my choice.  I wouldn't settle for less.  As I grew up it became a habit and developed into a lifestyle.  I had a vision and foresight for opportunities.  Every bubble of opportunity was seen as success.

I believed strongly in slow and steady.  I took one day at a time.  I took baby steps and that is how I planned my journey 💘. And that is how I planted my seeds for success.  That is the secret of how to pace my way to success.

Impatience and ingratitude are obstacles on our road to success.  I kept kicking them off with every stride in my journey 💘. If we extract these two ingredients from our recipe of success, we will never experience failure.  Failure is an invitation to another attempt at success.

Impossible 🤣!  That's a joke 😅.  

Impossible to me is a misspelled word.  Here is the correct spelling...' I am possible.'

I am farsighted.  I always knew exactly what I wanted.  I did not wait for it to happen.  I worked towards it.  I walked towards it with boots of courage and patience and MADE it happen.  I was so determined.

I spelled success with Determination

I expelled fear with persistence!!

I wrote her and I became her !!!!

PAST, PRESENT & FUTURE

PAST is something to talk about,

Present is so much to talk about and

Future is some more to talk about !

Let's not make life about the past

Let's create something to talk about in the present,

Let's vision what else we can keep  talking about in the future.

Talking about the past is a characteristic of those individuals who have messed up their 🎁 present and have no concrete plans for future.  Our past lays the foundation for a gift called present wherein comes the vision for future.  

Carry the past to the present and push it to the future.  Plant something yesterday, to nourish today and harvest tomorrow.

Those who keep talking about the past,

Built nothing to hold on to in the present and

Have no foresight for tomorrow.

Why? Wonder why ?

Why?  I wonder why ?

Why are we so crooked and yet blame the world for crookedness ?

Why do we blame others and yet take no responsibility ?

Why it is normal for us to do certain things and absolutely unacceptable when others do it?

Why are we above law and others aren't?

Why our own situation is a test while others are paying for their deeds ?

Why are we so perfect and others are far from perfection ?

Why our excuses are valid reasons and others helplessness are flimsy excuses?

WHY O' WHY ?????

Why I have never been able to understand this ?

I have never been able to find the answers to my own questions all my life.
