Last night, the SAG awards took place, and for many actors, winning a SAG is the highest honor because it’s the actors who do the voting for the awards.  There was a lot of talk about dreams last night…about striving to reach them and the glory that is felt when that dream is realized. 

I think that dreams are wonderful.  It’s ok to have dreams, even if they are far-fetched or next to impossible.  However, it’s also important to have reachable goals, ones that we can achieve in our lifetimes, ones that we can be proud of on a regular basis. 

There’s a difference between a dream and a goal, and it’s important to know that difference.  Perhaps if you feel like you aren’t accomplishing much in life, you need to re-think what’s on your to-do list.  Maybe you have too many dreams and not enough goals.
