  2. Inspirational and motivational post.

    Btw, did you check out that book? (I think I mentioned it in one of the comments I wrote sometime ago)
    i.e Bishop Jakes' new best-seller book- Repositioning yourself: Living life without limits.

    He mentioned similar ideas to what you talked about in this post.

    Have a great weekend.

  6. I 'dream' a lot and also fantasize. One of which is that i'll buy an ISland and sail away on a yatcht. Dreams are very essential for living a purposeful life.

    When one dreams. however, one should work towards actualizing that dream. After all, Joseph transformed from a slave to a KING and he was a dreamer!

    Cheers!
