Day 23 - Are you a dreamer?

I am a dreamer. I love to dream. My best time of the day is when I daydream about my future. I can be any person I want to be in my dreams. Having a dream is a wonderful thing. However, daydreaming about what you want will not help you achieve anything in your life. We need to think about why this dream came into our hearts. Then we can set a specific goal to take a step toward the dream. It is best to start with a short-term goal instead of a long-term goal. It is easy to fail and to get frustrated when you plan something big for your first step.

One of my dreams is to become a professional guitarist. In order to make my dream come true, I took guitar lessons once a week. I couldn’t afford many lessons, so I went to the library to get books about playing the guitar, searched the internet and watched some free guitar lesson video clips on YouTube. I practiced playing the guitar day and night. I also saved my allowance to buy a used guitar. Now, I am not a professional yet, but I am playing in a band, and we have won several awards at band contests. I can slowly feel my dreams coming into arms reach.

My dream is still ongoing. I want to teach students and make them better guitarists in the future. The interesting thing is that it is not easy to achieve our dreams although it is easy to dream them. Many of our dreams disappear helplessly. Someone’s dream can be bigger than someone else’s. Maybe some people might say your dream is too unrealistic. However, if you truly want to make your dream come true, don’t give up and don’t just dream. Dream and act on it!
