Driving five minutes to work every morning in my sports car is obviously a dream. Dreaming of never having to deal with traffic or long commutes; living in a small city no bigger than 30,000. A big city is too inconvenient for travel and time. Reaching any destination takes over thirty minutes.

My car"s starter is shot and the air-conditioning doesn"t work. I will live in a big city and commute to my high rise office building down town. Each morning dreading the hour drive filled with traffic jams and spilt coffee.
I dream of earning six digit income. I know money doesn"t buy happiness but I think it will help. My estate will contain a few pools and tennis courts. My living room overlooking a sandy beach. My yacht will be stored down by the docks. My personal captain will take me fishing and joy riding. My house will be a marvel of modern architecture.
Meager home and white picket fence is my reality. Traveling to a health spa to enjoy a swim or work out. Earning a comfortable pay check, but by no means rich. Comfortable to afford small luxuries and enjoy life.
Dreams are excellent and are needed to survive. I have many dreams of my future. I also know most won"t come true. I do believe that I have the opportunity to reach my dreams.

I believe this to be true and there is no reason for myself or anyone not to try for their own personal dreams and aspirations.
