What was your dream?
Not the question of who would be
when you grew up, but what you dreamed for.
Was it a dream of Fame? Fortune?
Power? Love?
Fame? Not the Brittney Spears or
Keith Moon (who?) fame, well maybe, but to "a name", remembered in
the career path you choose.
Fame, that fleeting moment to
aspire for.
Your name on every one's lips.
Your picture on every magazine cover. Your request for interviews on every talk
show.
Much of fame, we realize as we get
older, is our idols are manufactured by profit making companies who will toss
you aside when the next good looking boy or girl comes along.
Few achieve real fame and it
weights them for the rest of their lives.
Fame might bring power, love,
fortune, but does it bring happiness?
The famous get stars on the
sidewalk people step on. The famous might get monuments or plaques.
What about dreaming of fortune?
With a pile of money you can become famous and buy most everything else.
Fortune can be wealth of worldly
possessions.
"Stuff" to impress the
not so fortunate. But what happens to all this "stuff" or wealth when
you go? And did it really impress?
And fortune makes friends out of
enemies or other evil doers who want to share in the good times without having
to earn it.
Power? Power over people or
animals? Power over thoughts? Power by teaching or Power by threatening.
How long will the Power last
before it shifts? Power must be maintained, but it is always at odds with
truth, justice, and ingenuity.
Power surrounds itself with fear
and needs to replenish itself.
The dream of love? True love? That
one and only. The vision embodying all the features of a true companion.
Lust or love?
The emotion which can bring the
strongest to blubber, the truest to lie, the heart to beat faster and the blood
pressure spike.
Reevaluate your earliest dreams
and check them against reality.
Are you living your dream?
