The American Dream

by


Really, though, what is the American dream? For all I know, it can really be anything. But … isn’t that the point? I don’t think everyone wants the house, white picket fence, and family deal. People want more than that. “I Want it all,” a fabulous song from the musical “Baby,” really depicts today’s American dream. We are so much more aware of what we can do with our lives as performers that it’s practically impossible to not want it all.
My “American Dream” is totally in the “I Want It all Category.” Exactly what do I want?
I want:
To publish and inspiring book(s)
To have a top selling music album and sing to packed audiences
To be a Broadway star
To have a family and live on the beach
To write for a magazine

There you have it. I want it all. Sharing my list of dreams may seem simply, but it really isn’t. These dreams of mine are very true to my heart. If anyone was to trash any of these dreams - it would really hurt me. I like to keep these things to myself because I don’t want any doubt to get in my way.
But here I am, sharing my dreams. These very valuable dreams.

… Now I ask you … what are your dreams? Are you open to sharing them or do you prefer to keep them to yourself. BTW - there is no wrong answer. Your dreams are your dreams. If you want to title them, you can. There is no wrong. So, dream away.
