Creative Thoughts from an Insomniac

Hey guys,

I can't sleep. I think it's because I was watching CNN before I went to bed and the only thing the commentators talked about was the fear that average Americans have about our uncertain economy. That got me to thinking about why most people are afraid of things they have no control over while some people continue to have success no matter what is going on around them.

These are my thoughts.

The people that allow fear to overcome them allow their minds to controlled by Dream Killers. Here is what I mean by that:

I want you to go to any kindergarten classroom and ask the children what they want to be when they grow up. You'll hear the kids say things like, "I want to be a fireman ... a doctor ... a baseball player ... an actress, etc."

You'll never hear them say, "I want to work at the car wash ..."

Well, what happens to those dreams as they progress through school?

I'll tell you what happens: parents, schools, teachers, other kids, etc. They kill the dreams!

The same thing happens with your dreams.

Little by little, inch by inch, other people infect your dreams with their poison. They say things like,
"You'll never hit a curve ball."
"Medical School is too expensive."
"Being in movies doesn't happen to peple like us."
"You're not smart enough, or pretty enough, or don't have enough money, etc."

Now as an adult, most are still carrying the scars from the daggers that everyone cut them with to kill their dreams.

That's why most people don't believe that they can become successful. That's why YOU haven't started your own business; went back to school; found a different job or started a new career.

YOU ARE AFRAID THAT PEOPLE ARE GOING TO LAUGH AT YOU!

Let me tell you a secret. Don't worry about that because people are going to laugh at you regardless.

There are only two people worried about your bills - you and the people you owe.
So work on pleasing those 2 people and forget about everyone else!

If you are ready to accept the challenge of pursuing your dreams, please let me know. I will help you any way I can. I'm looking forward to hearing from you soon. Remember, always be an ANT!!!
