I Could Be Dreaming

"If you had such a dream, would you get up and do the thing you believe in?"

Like most people, I have dreams, both while awake, and while asleep.  Sometimes I wake up and wish that I could live the life I was having in my dream.  Those dreams are usually ones in which I have something I desire in my 'real' life, whether it's a specific person, situation, job, etc.  Then I reflect upon these dreams, comparing what I had in the dream to what I want from life, and contemplating how I can make the dream come true, and then I move on.

One thing I'm very bad at is pursuing my dreams.  I've always been somewhat of a "satisfactant", in that if I'm neither happy nor unhappy, I am satisfied and don't need to change things.  I often take the stance that it is I that needs to be happier with what I have, rather than change what I have to be happier.  I guess this works sometimes, but not to the level that I take it.

No, no, I need to pursue those dreams.  I also need to stop talking about doing it, and just get out there and do it.
