that tear your spirit down and take you to a place that you don't want to be, a place without your dream.

When you're longsuffering, you continue to work toward your dream but you don't become frustrated by your dream. In fact, as the owner of the dream that will take some longsuffering, you may have to work harder that you ever dreamed possible to realize the dream. Don't let the work scare you. Let it invigorate. Let it inspire you. Let the work make you think about elements of your dream that you never considered. Let the work make your dream stronger and better.

Remember it is important to wait and work with gladness, but live in the present moment. Living in the present moment means realizing that although you have a dream until your dream becomes today, you must not get so carried away with thinking about achieving the dream tomorrow and forget about you must live for today. Too often, this is a mishap many people fall into when pursuing a dream. Overcoming the temptation to get so caught in the dream that you forget to live while you achieve the dream is not only important, but crucial to being able to appreciate the dream when it happens.

Attaining a dream should not mean neglecting those persons in your life that give you real purpose. You must have the time to balance your desire to achieve your dream with the demands of your every day life. Go to movies. Do your chores. Spend time with loved ones. Goof off sometimes but stay focused.

Remember that the journey to achieving your dream may be as satisfying as achieving the dream itself. Don't become so swallowed up in your dream that you forget to live. Live and let live while you dream. Have fun and enjoy life.
