How Not to Make Your Dreams Come True

So I have been thinking, which is always dangerous as it can lead to action...or inaction, and both possibilities are fraught with consequences.  Some consequences are intended or desired, like success, fame, fortune, satifaction.  Other consequences are not intended such as failure, disillusionment, alternative unexpected success, love, pain and on ad infinitum.  

Anyway, all this thinking has led me to wonder how one makes their dreams come true.  Well, first, I suppose, is to have a dream.  What is a dream?  Its a desirable outcome, result or realization that brings happiness and satisfaction to your life.  At least that is what I understand it to be.  And the best way to make dreams come true is to wake up.

But what if you have trouble figuring out what your dream is?  I've struggled with this my whole life.  I am not sure I have ever had a clearly defined, well thought out dream (vision) of what it is I want to be when I grow up.  Funny thing, I grew up in spite of that.  And now here I am, 67 years later, still trying to figure it out.

So now I understand.  To have a dream come true, you must first have a dream.  That is so simple it is almost scary.  Yet now I can tell you how not to have a dream come true: don't have one.   Argh.  And so there you have it.  Time to start dreaming.  It's never, as they say, too late.
