Living Your Dreams

All people dream; but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recess of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity. But the dreamers of the day are the dangerous people, for they may act their dream with open eyes to make it possible.

-- T. E. Lawrence
It is a rare gift, indeed, to live one's dreams. I feel quite lucky to be doing what I have always dreamt of doing: making a feature-length film. There are times where it is challenging, for certain; but, I can't think of any place I'd rather be than where I am right now in my life. It is a rare opportunity, and one I dare not take for granted.

Stop. Be in the present moment. Appreciate where you are. Then continue moving forward.
