The Lost Art of Dreaming

Remember the days when we were  younger, playful, happy, it didn't matter if we were just kicking a can or flying cardboard like a frisbie. We laughed and played make believe, and most important of all we DREAMED! Some of us dreamed about someday flying planes or driving race cars or saving the world or even becoming President of the United States, we dared to Dream. We could Visualize ourselves doing what no one else could do.Our values were based on our Heros who had incredable ethics that paralelled the American Spirit that created this most awesome Country in which we live. For me dreaming of what I can do or become, is fueled by the hero's and mentors in my life. Our self belief and confidence is a direct reflection of the Heros in each of our lives. Hero's, ethical or not, drive our dreams. As our economy and Great nation flounders in a pool of seemimgly bottomless and turmulcios water, who are the Hero's to whom we turn for Hope and Corrective Values to "Right" this ship and the crash course we seem to be on. Who are our Roy Roger & Dale Evans of our generations, Where are the John Wayne's of today? The politicians, whom we have elected, are the very "bad Guys" that our mothers told us to stay away from. HERO's, where are they today? DREAMS of a better tomorrow, where have they gone? I BELIEVE that we can be Hero's in our own lives, but we first, must find our internal core VALUES. We must NOT confuse RULES with Principles, rules can be bent or broken, Principles can not. Are we the motivation for hope, trust and faith for those we come in contact with daily? Do we LEAD by EXAMPLE  that others might see our DREAM and VISION of a better day? Are we prepared to step up, live up, Cowboy up, to change our lives in order to promote Faith and Hope of a brighter tomorrow in the lives of our Loved Ones and those who's path we cross every day of our lives. Let's Dream, lets Inspire, let's build Faith and Hope for the future in the lives of our youth who must lead us by the very Character Compass from which they can draw from the HERO's of thier lives. We must DREAM today, so they may DREAM tomorrow!
