As I lay in bed this morning minutes before my alarm went off I took a moment to remember a dream I had because I felt there was a lesson in it to take with me. As I opened my eyes I found myself on the beginning of Token Street. There was a lady in my dream that had a bag of tokens and a saying “Every day I take with me a token…” She had just collected her 25th token, each one representing a book she had wrote. She told me about how family and friends tried to discourage her from working on her goals. Her goal was to have 30 tokens and while she was proud she hadn’t listened, much, she knew those few times cost her 5 tokens, 5 books. The bag she put them in wasn’t special, it is what is on the inside that counts. The trophy case means nothing if it is empty. Not even a minute later my alarm went off, I was meant to remember this dream. What tokens do you want to collect, how many do you want? Everyday is a journey on Token Street, when you put your feet on the floor in the morning don’t forget to take your token with you and guard it from anyone who tries to take it away. Work for it, reach your goals, fulfill your dreams. Don’t come up 5 short.
