Remembering to Dream...

Very nice blog http://www.cultivategreatness.com. ...felt great at the start of the day

I just finished watching a great movie, called "The Opus". If you have seen the movie, "The Secret", you will recognize a lot of the same speakers as they are in this movie as well.
Life sometimes throws us curveballs that are very hard to hit and can be quite frustrating. Right now, many people are hit with hard financial times due to the madness of the economy. We begin to feel trapped and feel like the weight of the world is on our shoulders. It is times like these that we have be able to visualize our outcomes and dream our goals in advance.
In the movie one of the speakers, Willie Jolley, mentions a story about a young 15 year old Martin Luther King Jr, being mentored by Dr. Benjamin E. Mays at Morehouse University.
Dr. Mays gave this excerpt to MLK and told him to read it daily, in which he did. May I suggest that we all could benefit from reading this excerpt each day upon waking.
It must be borne in mind...that the tragedy of life does not lie in not reaching your goal. The tragedy lies in having no goal to reach. It isn't a calamity to die with dreams unfulfilled, but it is a calamity not to dream... It is not a disgrace not to reach the stars, but it is a disgrace to have no stars to reach for. Not failure, but low aim is the sin.
-- Dr. Benjamin E. Mays
