Entrepreneur Farrah Gray says, “Build your own dreams, or someone else will hire you to build theirs.”

This is true.

And the idea can be extended to how we live our days. To what we give our time and attention.

If we’re not guarding and guiding our minds — if we’re not leaning on choice, intention, and reason — the world will be happy to use us for its own purposes, like an unconscious zeitgeist collaborator.

Don’t let the winds of culture blow you around willy nilly. Don’t be passively sucked into click-bait, endless scrolls, and the 24/7 news cycle.

Set a sail of your own and chart the journey you want to live. Build your own dreams.
