Believe it or not, but I took this photo just a few hours ago. Erik and I were wandering the streets of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, looking for a new hotel since ours is a shoebox. As we walked past a little street vendor, we saw this guy. He was just strolling past, going about his day. He saw me noticing his great glasses and turned to smile for my camera.

Anyone can dream at night. At night we feel invincible. But when we wake in the morning, what do we do with those amazing ideas we had? Most of us let them evaporate, thinking they’re silly, thinking we have to be practical.

Write down your late night ideas and dreams. Look at them in the morning and continue dreaming with your eyes wide open. Actively move them into your subconscious so your silent mind can start working on a plan for you. Dreams are inspired thought. We must learn to live like this guy and act on them, regardless of what others think.

LIVE THE LIFE YOU WANT
