Only in Dreams

So much of my thought over the last couple of weeks has been my work that I have started to put my dream on the backburner. But if I have learned one lesson tonight it is that you should never forget about your dream. The promise of money and grandure can make you lose focus temporarly, but once you get a reminder of what you really want your life to be you eyes are opened again. I had a moment like that tonight. After a streneous day of working I had to sit in a classroom and take a test on facts that I only need to know for about three days. By the time that I was walking to my first Chicago Beer Society meeting, I had a pounding stress headache. Since I spend all day watching people treat each other like crap, I got worried that the people at this meeting would reject me or treat me how I see people treat each other every day. But once I got there and identified the brewers I realized how kindly they treat each other. I even got to meet a celebrity in the brewing world, Randy Mosher. On a completely unrealated subject, kind of regret how unimpressed I seem around people that I find highly impressive. In this instance one of the higher ups in the society told me that Randy would have really like to try one of my experiemental brews that I brought along with me. But by that time he had left. I will regret it until next month when I get the chance to offer him experimental brew again. But back to my main point. My dream got a big boost when I had a guy who wrote an article in a beer magazine say that my experimental beer was pretty good and that I need to keep the recipe. I recieved a great deal of confidence when someone else told me that one of my beers was the best of all of the beers they tasted at the event. Then I started to think about how I could become one of these people that cared about more than taking someone else's money and do something that really made people happy, instead of my current path which is to treat people like they are nothing more that an opprotunity to expoit for money. As long as I am able to stay the course and remember where I want to end up I think that I will be okay. But if I get lost in the thought of taking the safe route (which don't get me wrong would lead to a pretty good life - financially at least) my life will not be nearly as fulfilling.
