Dreams Can Come True - Many Don't.

Based upon my personal observations of the independent authors who actively participate in the various Goodreads group discussions, many hope to one day become commercially successful so that writing may be their sole career and provide for a reasonably comfortable lifestyle.

This is a worthy goal. Don't let anyone dissuade you from nurturing your dream. Some dreams do come true.

The dreams that do come true are usually those that include hard work, study, practice, patience, perseverance, and the occasional reality check.

That said; please allow me to share a bit of wisdom that comes with age and experience.

Life is no big thing.
It is a thousand little things.

Too often, we hardly notice the thousand wonderful little things going on around us; some of which could have a profound impact upon our lives, because we are so focused upon waiting for that one big thing to happen.

By all means, follow your dream; it may come true. However, keep your options open just in case it doesn't.

Another dream may be just waiting for you to acknowledge its presence, recognize its potential, and be willing to perform the hard work, study, and the occasional reality check to make it come true.

Whatever future awaits you, I sincerely hope that it is bright and rewarding.
