Everyone has a dream. If you do not have a dream then you are dead and already buried. Every single person has a dream inside of them. A dream that sometimes lies dormant due to our own insecurities and lack of opportunities. All it takes for a dream to be manifested is an opportunity. An opportunity to showcase your gifts and talents, hoping that someone somewhere will see your potential. Just like a basketball player in High School who dribbles the ball and scores against all odds hoping that a Basketball Scout is in the stands watching so that he or she may obtain that valuable scholarship, you have to be ready for that opportunity. You have to want your dream to come through, you cannot just sit and expect an opportunity to just drop in your lap. You have to work at it. It has been said that "opportunity knocks once", so this means that we are to be in a state of expectation at all times for this opportunity. We cannot be sleeping when opportunity comes knocking so some of us have learned to forego the natural desire of sleep in order to achieve our dreams. Some of us have also had to make serious financial sacrifices as well as sacrificing quality family time in our quest towards success. The rewards, if we endure our struggles, are always great. The sense of satisfaction that we get from our achievements will hopefully outweigh all our sacrifices. This sense of satisfaction, however, is only achievable if we include our loved ones and friends on our journey.
I declare that I will achieve my dreams. I will seek out opportunities to achieve my dreams and, best of all, I have become a light sleeper so that no matter what time of the day, or night, that opportunity stops by, he or she will not catch me napping!
