Have you ever noticed that it’s really hard to realize your dreams? But, have you also taken note of how easy it is to buy stuff that supposedly will help you fulfill your dreams?
What I have observed is this. When I get a crazy dream and pursue it, though I rarely see it through (dreams are very hard to realize), nevertheless the act of going after it leads me to new, wonderful, unexpected opportunities. By contrast, when I buy something to help me fulfill a dream, I still rarely see it through, but I end up in the same old, dull, predictable places. Like the return line at Costco or Target.
It’s better, I think, to dream and get lost in a new direction than to shop and return to the same uninspiring line.
