My Life's Book

It is late. I am about to sleep. The sun has set long ago. But first, I took the time to compose a book. I must admit, it's not much of a book; I simply grabbed an empty, red notebook and wrote "Dreams: Realized" on the cover. In this book will go my goals, my visions, my hopes, my dreams. This book will be what I read when I awake and when I go to sleep.

I have read books on success and they all say the same: you need a vision. In my vision I awake each morning with a smile on my face and motivation pushing me from my bed. In my vision I head to a workplace and work with great people, helping to make the world more beautiful, more friendly, more enjoyable, in tiny ways. In my vision I am helping people realize themselves and finding their vision.

I have always asked myself a question: what the heck will I choose for a career? My days of being a student will soon be over and I will have to face a decision. But what is it that I want? Frankly, I don't quite know yet. Should I satisfy my desire to create beauty and attend fashion design school? Should I attend video game design school? Should I make movies? As you can see, my dreams are not one but many. However, I do know that someday I will want to marry an amazing woman, I will want a family, I will want to spend time with them, I want to be the greatest husband and dad in the world. But the career question is still there.

One day I was reading Jack Canfield's awesome book, The Success Principles--you should read it--and I did this little thing where you write out your grand vision for life. I realized I want to work with creative, energetic people. I want my work to take me to many different places throughout the world. I don't want my work to be routine. I want to be creative, to design and create. My dream place to work is in a modern building. It has many walls, composed almost entirely of glass. Inside is contemporary furniture, open spaces, a free flowing feel, many green plants, wood trimmings, and it's a place where one feels comfortable and inspired. I want this workplace to feel beautiful. I want creative and positive energy to resonate from this place. However . . . I still don't quite know exactly what my team and I do in this place. :) But this is part of my vision. It is like a puzzle, it slowly comes together if you try to make sense of all the pieces.

What is your dream? What is your vision?

Welcome

I am a man of dreams, a man of thought, a man of feeling. This my
letter to you, this is my mind in words, this is my heart.

You are who you are. You are a blank face behind a screen. I do not
know who you are. But that's how it is. Our written words and thoughts
float in cyber space, awaiting for one to look upon them. My words are
now floating and you are now reading. A thousand miles seperate us. A
thousand words unite us.
