Hello everyone and happy mid summer. Tonight is the All Star game for Major League baseball. It's called the mid summer classic, because it showcases the best talent from both leagues in this game.

I know for many of you reading this, it's just another baseball game on TV, but for me it has always been something I looked forward to. As a child growing up I always had a dream of being a Major League Baseball player, like many other kids. I played baseball in the summer everyday I could. I used to dream about it literally. I would envision myself on the mound in the World Series dominating the opponent or making a great catch to save the game, or better yet hitting a homerun to win it all.

These dreams and visions were very really and exciting to me as a child. It was a rude awakening to me at about the age of 19 or 20 when I realized that my dream had past me by. It was a hapless feeling of what do I do now with my life. To live without a dream or a purpose is the worse possible feeling anyone can have. '

I didn't want to go to work or to school, because I had always had this dream that I was going to be different, I would be above that 9-5 grind, living paycheck to paycheck. I dreaded that, but now my dream wasn't real anymore and I didn't think I had a choice, but of course I did.

I eventually went to school and got a degree and set out into the real world only to find it indeed wasn't for me. But to me, this was a good thing, because it got me dreaming again. Visualizing again. Wanting more. I hated sitting behind a desk or doing mundane labor tasks. I started day dreaming about what it would be like to be my own boss, work at home, make more money, drive better cars, have a great home, go on vacations when I wanted and to where I wanted to go. I still have these dreams and I relish them.

The point of this whole story is to dust of your dreams. Dream like a child again. Want to be more. It's a great feeling to have a purpose. The joy indeed is in the journey and when you reach your destination, celebrate, but not for long because it is time to make new goals, have new visions, reach for the sky. Live like there is no tommorow.

It is easy to dream as a child because we have no limitations. Put yourself in child mode and have no boundaries on what you can accomplish. As an adult it is harder to dream because we are programed by society as to what we are supposed to be and do. Shed that program, be alive, find your passion and live it everyday. Cut out pictures of the things you desire in your life and paste them on a dream wheel, all over your office or anywhere in your home. This is a priceless exercise. It allows your subconcious mind to guide you.

The good thing about being an adult now and having dreams is that you have the wisdom and experience to go with those dreams, things we lacked as a child. When you dream like a child, put your wisdom and desire behind that dream, there is no stopping you. Live with passion, live big, dream big. Live the life you always dreamed of. Die with no regrets.

God Bless your journey.
