Wake Up & Dream By: Ramona Ward Senior Creative Contributor Usually when people talk about dreams, they speak of chasing or pursuing them. They speak of going after those dreams, going after what they want. Because our dreams tend to be the revelation of our passion and purpose in life. Our dreams are tied to the very thing that will define who we are and the legacy that we will leave. And yet, for so many of us, our dreams seem to be so elusive. And for others of us, our dreams appear unattainable that we don’t bother to even consider them beyond what we imagine,

let alone go after them. But I submit to you, we don’t pursue our dreams as we think. On the contrary, our dreams chase us. Opportunity comes around more often than we think. But we ignore it. Because of so many reasons. Some are actually legitimate, however most of the time, the reasons for not taking chances are nothing more than excuses. But how many times has the same opportunity knocked on your door? Maybe it came in a different way or was presented by a different person in a manner that you never imagined. But when you think about it, when you really consider it, you find that the same opportunity has come around again and again. 10
