Castles on the Ground

Dream but also do; wish but build; imagine but ever face reality. – Dr. Joseph Fetterman

A lot of people build castles in the sky. They imagine how great it would be if X would happen or once they actually got off their butts and did Y. But, X never happens, and they never get off their butts.

Others build their castles on the ground, or build the ground up to their castles. You can have a castle in the sky, so long as you have very long and sturdy pillars beneath it. Or you know how to fly. You start with today and a dream, and then you work your butt off to get from here to there. Without a dream, time just passes. Without work, time just passes and dreams float away. Make time yours, make it work for you, not just pass. The way to do this is to work for yourself and your dream. Act. It’s the only way.
