Learn to Say Good-Bye Sometimes we need to say good-bye. Some good-byes come suddenly, without warning. Others are anticipated. Sometimes theyre a relief. And sometimes they hurt deeply. We say good-bye to things, people, and places. We say good-bye to beliefs and behaviors that become outdated. Occasionally along the journey we need to say good-bye to something else,too-- our dreams. Dreams are precious. They become embedded in our minds and our hearts. When they die, it can be painful to let go of them. But if were not careful, dead dreams we havent released can sabotage our lives and hearts. We will continue to try to place people and things in the vacant roles in our dreams. Our dead dreams will, in fact, be controlling our lives and blocking our hearts. Living with dreams that are dead closes the door to finding new visions and creating new dreams. If you cant see today or tomorrow clearly because of yesterdays dreams, it may be time for a funeral. Tenderly take your dearest dreams, you highest hopes and aims-- the ones from yesterday that are now never to be-- and place them gently in the ground. Tell them how dear they were and are. But tell them also, its time to say good-bye. Cover them up. Dry your eyes. And open yourself to the new hopes and dreams of today.
