Fridays and Other Dreams

In the adventure that was today, I had some joyous interactions with my coworkers. One of the fun things to run into the ground with one particular work friend is how fantastic it is that it's Friday. We go back and forth and dramatize it and belabor it and tickle each other more and more with each over the top statement that we make. The buried truth though is that Friday is really a goal of hers. It is something she greatly looks forward to all week, which got me thinking about how important hope, goals, and dreams are at getting us through life.

When you dream, or look forward to the future and its possibilities, you are re-affirming life (since you are projecting yourself in a future with preferable circumstances), as well as best and fully using your free will by exploring the infinite positive options God has made available to you. Dreams, hopes, and setting goals show great respect for God and God's will for you that you live a full, positive, and constructive life.

So have dreams, even really huge ones. There's no harm in it. Also, always hope for the best possible outcomes and opportunities, keeping your faith in God that God will take care of it. And always have something, or actually, many things that you look forward to. Find joy in looking forward to a nice dinner with your family. Get excited about a trip you are taking, or a birthday, or seeing someone you haven't seen in years, or a walk on the beach, or a television show, or Christmas, or...anything at all coming up in your life. You can take anything at all on your calendar and find reasons that you are really looking forward to it. Explore that feeling. Explore your hopes and dreams. Explore how fantastically great anticipation feels. Get excited and look forward to something wonderful!
