We all have dreams.  Some become nightmares, others come true.  I was looking for another song when I found this.

Have you read the lyrics? Here they are:

I dreamed a dream in time gone by

When hope was high and life worth living,

I dreamed that love would never die

I prayed that God would be forgiving.

Then I was young and unafraid,

And dreams were made and used and wasted.

There was no ransom to be paid;

No song unsung, no wine untasted.

But the tigers come at night

With their voices soft as thunder

As they tear your hopes apart

And turn your dreams to shame.

Still I dream he’d come to me;

That we would live the years together,

But there are dreams that cannot be,

And there are storms we cannot weather.

I had a dream my life would be

So different from this hell I’m living.

So different now from what it seemed.

Now life has killed the dream I dreamed. 

Thank you Metrolyrics. 

Susan Boyle models all the reasons to keep trying. She is the poster child for never giving up.  If you wept a bit at as she sang, it was probably remembering the dreams you’ve lost and we all have them.

Stay strong

Given that we cannot predict the future, what remains is hoping for the best. Often that keeps us strong. However, it can also slip over in to denial and lead to harm.

Kenny Rogers said it best , “You gotta know when to hold ’em, know when to fold ’em, know when to walk away, know when to run.”

Dreams do best when tied to SMART Goals, so here is a free poster coach.

Thank you for all you do to Practice Kindness. Liking, commenting, or sharing any social media you find helpful is one way to be kind. It may seem like a little, however, doing a little matters a lot.

Not inspired by a WordPress  DAILY PROMPT, but part of my efforts to postaday which for me  means five days a week. I think is healthier to take a break, particularly from media and electronics. So remember if the weekend is coming turn off, tune out,  take a break and improve your #EmotionalIntelligence.
