Dreams And How To Have Them

Hello and welcome to another musing at Cowboy Computer Repair. Today I’d like for us to think about getting lost in thought, or rather a more effective way to pursue your dreams.

Imagine for a moment a perfect life situation. An entire mansion lined with marble floors and porcelain walls with a clean golden trim. Of course this entire building is maintained and managed by a team of butlers, maids and the like. Cap it off with a wonderful family, a house boat and a fleet of luxury cars at your disposal. Sounds pretty nice right? Now I want you to imagine all of that evaporating before you, all because you made one fatal mistake.

You opened your eyes.

Such is the life span of a perfect dream. The moment you wake up, it’s gone. Now there are two solutions to this problem. One being to crawl back in bed, keep your eyes firmly shut and wish you never wake again. That’s the obvious one at least. The second option however hurts quite a bit more than that. It involves rising from your bed the moment you wake, getting angry at yourself for wanting to stay in bed if you need to, then taking that dream and doing everything in your power to make it a reality. This is normally called dreaming with your eyes open, not to be confused with “daydreaming” where you simply get lost in your imagination while getting nothing done at all. So next time you wish you could have this or dream about doing that, go out and work towards it, even if it takes a lifetime to get there.

Thanks for reading and I hope you learned something from my own lesson in life.
