		<description><![CDATA[I&#039;d add the caveat to make sure your dreams are *your dreams* and not others.  I think the flip side is people feel pressure to have big dreams and kind of overlook the simplicities in life.

Just as an example?  I keep reading about local people starting international charities to make a difference in the world.  But many of the problems they wish to conquer are prevalent in our own community.  I know they mean well, but this attitude drives me a little nuts.  I wish more people would give more attention to the communities they live in.

Likewise, lots of conversations with wonderful people who feel they should be &quot;doing more.&quot;  While losing sight of how important they are in their family or community, etc.  These people certainly need dreams and goals, but I think they get stuck feeling like their dreams should be big and grand.  I think many people would be content lowering the bar just a bit.  For example, as a mom I Feel a giant responsibility to raise my children well.  I find it easy to tune out the message that I should be doing *more* with my life at current.  My plate is full and my work is important and rewarding.  To others (who don&#039;t know me) I am not dreaming big enough, but I am pretty confident that I know what is important in life.  I am a big dreamer.  My dreams just aren&#039;t always very secy and exciting.  ;)]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I actually have the opposite problem. I get really big ideas that sound really weird when i tell people about them. 
These days, i just keep them to myself, until they are at a stage where i&#039;m finally moving forward with them, and i have most of the details ironed out.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[How true is that! I was upset about getting laid off as opposed to promoted but now see it as a blessing, where I now get the opportunity to start my own business, and grow my own empire instead of following someone else&#039;s. I love it! It&#039;s all about dreaming big. The emergency fund example was right on target too,]]></description>
