What are you Dreaming About?

I seldom dream and when I do, I often forget by the time I am wide awake. But this dream was an exception.

I dreamed that I was traveling with some individuals whom I know, going somewhere. I am not sure where we were going, but on our journey, there were two options to get over to the side we needed to be; a clear path or through some murky water.

The majority of my traveling companions (I will not use the term ‘friends’) decided that for some adventure, there would jump into the dark, dirty water; the others took the clear path.

I decided to go with the popular vote and was towing the back of the group. As I emerged from the dirty waters all smelly and disheveled, I looked in the distance to see those who had chosen the straight pathway ahead, moving towards their intended destination.

As a result of my decision, I could not go any further to where I intended, in my filthy state. I had encountered some delays as I searched for somewhere to clean myself up before I could proceed to my intended goal.

Here is what I learned:

• As you journey through life, there will always be distractions to get you off course.

• Distractions come with a price and can cause undue delays.

• Others go ahead of you when you have to stop to correct your mistakes.

• Depending on the degree of your error the time you have to spend rectifying the error can cause you to miss opportunities.

• Never follow a multitude going in the wrong direction, it can cause you everything. Everyone is not going where you need to be.

• You must know who you are and not be swayed by popular opinion.

• Understand your purpose and your assignment, and stay on track.

Be careful who you are following in life, do not be swayed by the multitude. You must know who you are and complete your assignment.
