Mad Men Speak In Dreams

So, I had a dream that I became the President, got the country running, and changed the world round about me. But then the dream was short lived by the buzzing sound of some terrible mosquitoes. #naija ehn#

The greatest King ever-recorded had this to say, "In the abundance of words and activities dreams abound; but in the multitude of dreams there is vanity. Do not let your heart make utterances hastily, but let your words be few. For while you stay busy with the business you've been provided, fulfillment and increase would come thereof." (Excerpt from the Book of Ecclesiastes by King Solomon)

Prior to the fear of losing one's dreams to imitators or already established competitors, alot of people end-up holding unto whatever idea they have locked in their heads, at the expense of practically living it.

While most of us spend forever telling ourselves why we shouldn't *kick our ideas out of the nest, and see if it would fly or not*, some are rather nescient of the fact that "it is at the point we give up what we have, that we find what we're looking for."

It is no myth that riskbearers take all of the profits. But as morphine is to a man in pain, we get high on our thoughts and enjoy the warmth of its embrace, though the reality is far from us.

Don't get me wrong, 'dreaming' is great but 'doing' is the only thing that matters. For what's the use of the dreams and strategies if not effectively executed.

Although, true dreams show us the weight of our responsibilities and the height of the profits locked-in thereof, until it is actualised, dreams are no different from a myth that attracts 'zero' investors.
...

Quit talking and get busy, as your story is to the benefit of the world roundabout you.

*From me to y'all, do have a fantastic new month to yourselves.*
