Today I win! Today is the day that I realized that in order to make money, I need to rely on my wits. I won't make it from out from under the "But” unless I practice self- reliance.

Job security is a form of control. A mechanism that instills paralyzing fear in us. That fear keeps us as small cogs within the machine. Turning and working until we wear out our usefulness is the point. Is that a life? Remember the potential and unlimited promise you had as a child?

What changed? Why isn't that promise harnessed and produced into an amazing life? Too many of us have been broken: we've had our spirits pulverized to the point of submission. I don't want that for me and I certainly don't want that for the future dreamers. Dreams are the visions that help us form a concrete reality. Would we be flying in planes without the fantasy, desire to soar like the birds? Would we have television without the mental images that we all carry within our heads? Dreams are an important part of our

lives that we are purposely told to under nourish. Who tells us to not feed our imaginations? It might not be so obvious, yet there are the whispers that we all hear. "You're crazy to try that!” "You can't do that!” "How are you going to compete?” "No one can change the world!” Whether they recognize it or nor they are chipping away at your spirit. These comments raze your courage to try something innovative.

End the famine, feed your soul with your dreams. Pursue them into reality. Any defeat, set back, failure and triumph will be your own! Nehru the first Prime Minister of India said, "A life without risk is no life at all”, think about that. Are you living or are you stuck in someone else's vision; not the one I would have chosen!
