The Reality of Dreams

"Well, dreams are dreams.
You need to wake up sometime.
But, reality is always different than the dream.
You don't live dreams.
You dream dreams.
You live reality.
The dream is a starting point -
not the ending point.
The dream is important.
You don't need to settle.
But your life doesn't have to magically fit the dream exactly.
Real life is different.
It's more interesting and complicated.
It will not match your dream -
but it will achieve the same thing, if you let it.
You can't be constantly comparing your life to some imagined vision of your life in your head.
You have to make reality out of reality -
not out of dreams.
Reality will change your dreams.
If you don't let it, you'll never have either.
Dreams are important -
don't get me wrong.
You want to try to use your dream as a guide,
but a loose guide.
It's not a script.
It's a bunch of improve rules and tools -".

My brother is really smart.
Sometimes I need him to help me put my feet back on the ground.
