Fantasy Is A Poor Substitute

We see substitutes everywhere. We see them on the benches of teams involved in athletic contests. Students see them in public schools every day. What about the fulfillments of our goals and aspirations? We need to go after them and not make excuses. In particular, please be reminded that fantasy and imagination are a means to an end. How can we envision something unless we imagine it being fulfilled some day? However, the vision is not the fulfillment of the vision, it is only the vision. Go ahead and have a vision, make your plans and proceed. Go ahead and dream, then proceed to turn them into reality. One might think: "Hey I'm not bothering anyone." Did that person ever think that perhaps; because of his laziness, he is depriving himself, and possibly others of something innovative, life-changing, and beneficial to many? Selfishness deprives. Laziness deprives. Laziness and selfishness work together to produce fantasy as a substitute. Go for the real thing. What are you afraid of? Are you afraid to fail? Go for something that endures and yields positive results. Fantasy is a poor substitute.
