I dreamed that one day I would become a basketball player and play for many teams.
Oh how I imagined myself hitting the game winning shot.
Or how I would be hoisting up a trophy, like scoring a jackpot.
Imagining the crowd standing up on there feet.
Standing up and cheering for their most favorite athlete.
As humans, we all have dreams.
Goals and desires flowing through our bloodstreams.
Some dreams, come by all the time.
Some dreams, only come by once in a lifetime.
Once you see your opportunity, don't just sit. Commit!
Once that opportunity is gone, well, that is it.
Don't set off things you want to go after in the future.
If you do, it will come back and bit you and I guarantee that you will suffer.

Growing up as a little kid, I had many dreams.
I dreamed that one day I would become a basketball player and play for many teams.
Oh how I imagined myself hitting the game winning shot.
Or how I would be hoisting up a trophy, like scoring a jackpot.
Imagining the crowd standing up on there feet.
Standing up and cheering for their most favorite athlete.
As humans, we all have dreams.
Goals and desires flowing through our bloodstreams.
Some dreams, come by all the time.
Some dreams, only come by once in a lifetime.
Once you see your opportunity, don't just sit. Commit!
Once that opportunity is gone, well, that is it.
Don't set off things you want to go after in the future.
If you do, it will come back and bit you and I guarantee that you will suffer.
