Dreamer Wanted is my manifesto to create Art and make some noise. It’s what the common man would call a job description, but I call it my dream. It’s why I do my best work alone, by myself; to share with you. It revokes what we gave up to seek employment and gives us the freedom to find our calling and live our dreams!
Each one of us is born with the innate ability to dream and make a difference in the world.  It isn’t until we reach a certain age and others begin to tell us a different story; we begin to believe otherwise. This is why I am writing this blog. Because you no longer have to live someone else’s dream.
The other day my wife was discussing with a friend, my recent award on Bloggers.com as one of the Editor Picks of the Day. I’ve written 128 posts of The Rust Belt Chronicles (my blog) on Bloggers.com since June of 2012. Millions of bloggers post on the site, so the recognition is an honor to me and her. The other persons reply was: “Yea, well blogging doesn’t make money.”
In and of itself blogging may not make money right now, but the point is to network and build a tribe of followers. Subsequently, launch a business or movement and the website is this author’s platform. I don’t feel it is my responsibility to educate someone on social media who has no interest and follows the mindset of “yesteryear.” I’d rather focus on helping someone who wants to know and cares.
The other day, I ran across a blog by Terry Hadaway. He definitely gets it. Terry’s writing is top-notch with clarity and eloquence. Who knows maybe Terry and I will end-up on the same stage someday, write a book together or just become friends. Either way, it’s exciting to find someone who understands the pitfalls of the Industrial Age and the trapping of the minds involved.
So tune-out or remove yourself from those attempting to sabotage your dreams. Here’s a secret of being successful: When you are just about to turn the corner and reach a new plateau, the naysayers will jump out of nowhere to bash your work and distinguish your flame- if you allow it.
Every good battle has a moment of uncertainty, the brief question of resolve. It’s the nanosecond that attempts to separate your passion and cause; just keep your eye on the purpose and charge full-steam ahead!

That’s the battle we face every day to live our dreams!
Until We Meet Again,

  1. Very true Jim - it does seem to be a constant battle to live out our dreams and God-given purpose. But I believe one big reason is that there is an enemy in this world system and he is constantly trying to keep us from rising higher and fulfilling God's call on our lives IF we allow him to! (He does work and speak through other people whether they realize it or not!)

  2. Powerful truths beautifully expressed! Thank you, Jim! I appreciate the encouragement to keep our eyes fixed on our purpose, as every good battle has its moment of uncertainty. I praise God that He is on our side, as it pleases His heart to see us use the gifts He gave us. "This is why I am writing this blog. Because you no longer have to live someone else’s dream." Thank you for living your dream, Jim, as you inspire others to do the same!

  3. I'd like to recommend the book "The Traveler's Gift" by Andy Andrews. I'm sure you can find it at the library. I think it will bless you.
