“Vision without action is a daydream. Action without vision is a nightmare.

                                           Japanese Proverb

Reflection: We don’t really expect our dreams to come true just naturally, we have to put action. For example you can be dreaming about being in a soccer team and making a goal but if you just sit there at home not practicing and not trying it’s just a daydream. Daydreams are dreams you have that don’t really come true unless you make them. But then there is action without vision. If we don’t even dream about becoming the person we are then it is a nightmare. Let’s say for some reason you became a lawyer but back then your vision was to become a doctor. It’s a nightmare for you because the one thing you will most likely say is “I wish.” Us as people need to put our actions and dreams together. We can’t sit around and except things to come to us because then there would be no meaning in life. We have to work and that’s just the way life is. We also have to make our dream come true and become what we want. You also can’t just take action and let it become a mess. Our actions and our visions matter. They are both something that really help us in life. Don’t just sit around dreaming of becoming something. Make it happen. Don’t make action until you are doing what your vision wants.

            “Work as a team to achieve your dream”

                                         Sarah Real

Reflection: In my case my team would be my family and friends.  For any one I guess that would be their team. In someone else’s case you might not have family or friends but you still have someone. We can’t always do things on our own. We need the support from people. There’s a big difference though, from wanting to be what others want you to be and having support. If we complain about not having any support and not having anyone to talk to, we should make a team. Achieving your dream is one of the best feelings ever. For example how does a singer make a great concert? With the help of their crew members. That’s what we need. A crew. We can’t do it alone. With the help of God and our friends and family we can achieve our dream. With God all things are possible.
