Lao Tzu on Dreaming Your Dream

Adapted from Half Full, by Mina Parker (Conari Press, 2006).

You look out for your kids, your parents, your bank account. You problem solve; you make it work. It’s not always perfect–but then, what is? Did you forget to look out for your dreams? Did you forget to plant and tend your deepest desires? It might be hard work, but the harvest might surprise you with dreams that are bigger and brighter than you ever dreamed possible.

Here is what Lao Tzu has to say about how to nurture your dream:

Be careful what you water your dreams with. Water them with worry and fear and you will produce weeds that choke the life from your dream. Water them with optimism and solutions and you will cultivate success. Always be on the lookout for ways to turn a problem into an opportunity for success. Always be on the lookout for ways to nurture your dream. - Lao Tzu
