Rule #12 – Pursue a Dream

“Dreams are critical. They light up life.

Without them, we become bored, and tired, and apathetic.

So, take this opportunity to really clarify your dreams.

Take a pen and paper and spend an hour figuring out what you really dream about.

But whatever you do, make sure you have a dream. They’re incredibly important.

Dreams are the spark plugs of the spirit. Make sure yours are ready for action.” –Karl Moore

“A person starts dying

when they stop dreaming.”

– Brian Williams

My reflections:

I know I’ve got goals and dreams for the future, but I do need to clarify them and write them down as a visible reminder to keep in front of me. I also need to be more proactive about taking steps toward fulfillment of those dreams. I especially like this statement: “Dreams are the spark plugs of the spirit.“

So what are YOUR thoughts?

Do you have dreams for the future?

Does any part of this rule of happiness especially speak to you?
