Throughout our lives we start with one dream and then usually that dream dies but the key to keep going is to have another dream in a different pocket. In life we must therefore have many pockets. We can not get crushed when a dream collapses but instead realize what we’ve learned from the adventure and try to use those lessons to build on a different goal.
Many of us start with the dream of being President of the United States, or a famous movie star or even the leader of a rock & roll band. When the acting offers don’t come in many can still modify their dreams by performing for a local theatre group while making a living for their family. When our race for school President fails we can instead decide that political office may not be for office but we can still get involved in local issues. We might not have the opportunity to perform in a rock and roll band but maybe we can open our own bar and play with a local band on occasions. In life many dreams may die but there death leads to a new life with many opportunities we never saw coming.
