No Book For You

No soup book for you.

I rarely recall my dreams. That is to say, when I’m sleeping I can have the most vivid of dreams and not remember a single detail when I wake up.

So, yesterday when I woke suddenly and recalled the details of my dream I knew I had to blog it.

This particular dream involved a gathering of individuals, but it was in a very low key setting. Nothing fancy and the people around me were nameless, accept for one. Phil Gerbyshak played the role of speaker at this particular engagement.

Throughout the course of the dream he handed out a copy of his book to the attendants as he spoke. Time passed and he begin placing yet another book before everyone. This time he passed by me without giving me a copy of the book.

I looked up at him, smirking and asked. "What? I don’t get one." I paused, and then continued "I have to earn it?"

He turned turned, nodded and said, "Yes, thats right. You’ve been an active blogger for awhile now. You have learned much. Get out there and lead."

And that is when I woke up.

The Take Away Lesson:

  • Don’t wake up in the middle of an interesting dream.
  • Always be actively doing the things that you are learning.

Longfellow said it best when he said "Let us, then, be up and doing". My take away from this dream, even though it may not be the full communication of my unconscious mind, is that learning of any kind is great. Reading books, attending seminars or having conversations with a mentor are all great tools but if I don’t apply them to the things that I do OR change the things that I do all together the lessons were lost on me.

Don’t remain idle. Act on the things you learn and I’m willing to bet the results will surprise you.

[Note to Self:] Tell Phil I’ve seen the future and know what his next book is going to be about. ;)

  1. Great dream Tim! So what’s next for you? I can’t wait to read about it!

  2. Phil - Thanks for stopping by! What’s next for me? I think there are many things in store for me that I neither have planned or even thought about. So much of the things that are happening for me are just beginning to take root. I will say that I took your suggestion the day that we spoke on the phone. I’ve been working on ideas for writing a book.

  3. Way to go Tim! Let me know how I can help support your dreams! Keep dreaming BIG!

  4. Phil - Thanks Phil. :) It goes both ways. I will help in any capacity that I can as well. Take care!
