Where your word's become art, and your thought's become music
THE SONGWRITING ACADEMY WANTS TO KNOW DO YOU HAVE CRAZY DREAMS??????
Before Donald Trump of the legendary Trump real estate family built numerous buildings in Manhattan he first walked around Manhattan dreaming to one day.. own skyscrapers and not just residential properties in brooklyn... Today, he owns and continues to build some of the most coveted properties and towers in Manhattan and around the world
Before Sean Carter aka Jay-Z, became one the most successful entrepreneurs and rappers in history , he would the ride the streets of Brooklyn in his Lexus dreaming of one day not only rapping but owning the team he..played on. Years later, he's not only the president and CEO of one of the most powerful..music and apparel companies in the world,..but co-owner of the New Jersey..Nets. .. .. .. .. .. .. You have to realize that..
Anton Rupert of Rembrandt,
Rupert Murdock of Viacom,
Sean "P.Diddy" Combs..of..Sean John and BBE,
John H. Johnson of Ebony and Jet magazines,
Curtis Jackson aka 50-cent of G-unit,
the list goes on and on,..all created a dream or should..I say a blueprint of what it is they wanted to accomplish before it..even fully manifested..itself... .. .. .. .. .. .. In the Bible it states that even before..Noah built his ark, God gave Noah a blueprint or picture of what he wanted Noah to build. Down to the details, the type of wood, the metals,..the measurements and what should go inside the ark... It all started as a crazy dream or conversation Noah had with God, but it then turned into one of the most important building projects in the history of mankind. .. .. .. .. .... Most of the time our dreams may sound crazy to our friends and family especially if we live in the poverty stricken areas of the United States, Brazil, Ecuador, France, or Africa. However most of the dreamers that have contributed to the transformation of their countries and economies have come from some of these same..rough and tough..environments.
ARE YOUR DREAMS CRAZY?? BE HONEST???

Dream Variations
To fling my arms wide
In some place of the sun,
To whirl and to dance
Till the white day is done.
Then rest at cool evening
Beneath a tall tree
While night comes on gently,
Dark like me-
That is my dream!
To fling my arms wide
In the face of the sun,
Dance! Whirl! Whirl!
Till the quick day is done.
Rest at pale evening...
A tall, slim tree...
Night coming tenderly
Black like me.
Langston Hughes
Dreams
Hold fast to dreams
For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird
That cannot fly.
Hold fast to dreams
For when dreams go
Life is a barren field
Frozen with snow.
Langston Hughes

I want to be the first Self Publisher who is standing on the top of the New York Bestselling List. I want to publish this book which is going around the world and helps billions of people to find back to themselves to live the life they always dreamt of. I have dreamt about it so many times and when I dream about it, I see this moment so clear, I can see the pictures, feel every singele emotion of it, like it would already be there, like it wouldn't be a dream but reality. There is no better feeling on the world than that what I have when I have my dream.

I dream of buying my mom a big home, fully furnished, decorated, quiet, beautiful and maintained by others so she doesn't have to. I want her to retire earlier. I want to do this in her lifetime. I dream of winning every music award there is to win. I dream of having my own family to love. I dream of helping more people than I could have ever imagined in whatever form I can, whether it's through my songs, books, website, publishing company, my life.

Dreams are the keystone to one’s character. In your case Jack I would substitute the word Keystone with Cornerstone. All master builders utilize the cornerstone to be the strongest point of the foundation. Your dream is a cornerstone on which You Will build a blessed city.
My dream is to design and build my dream home. A modest 6 bedroom 4 bath Beaux Arts style home with hits of ancient Egypt though out, butter scotch colored marble floors, grand doors, and a study to hide from the wife and kids.

Since I was a little girl I've always had this dream of being a successful songwriter. I desireto be like I mention in one of my songs "up there with all them there rich misses." People such as "Oprah, Tiara Banks, Madonna, Dianne Warren, Kimora Lee Simmons. Also Russell Simmons, P. Diddy, Missy & Timbaland, Wyclef Jean, Donald Trump, and a few other successful people. I admire these people because they had a dream, they had a plan and they were smart enough to build on thier dreams and brought it to reality. I thrive on the successful of others, to help others. I've always wanted to do that, help others who weren't as fortunate as myself.
I see what's going on over the world. I want to contribute "money" to help where help is needed, especially my immediate and extended family, it starts there first and extends out to others. God has instilled this in me.
This is a beautiful thing that you've started here with your Ning site Jack Knight. I've created a ning site also, to help others know what I know about the business of music. I feel that God has already blessed me with riches. I can really say that I'm rich in many ways. I am not wealthy in a material way, but I've been blessed by God with many talents, I'm blessed with life, love, good health, good friends and family.
Yet, I still have another plateau that I want to reach. My Music publishing company and my working with other songwriters andmusic producers, my ning site is just a stepping stone, because there is still a lot more for me to do before I can really say that I've become successful, enough to help others in a financial kind of way.
Just my thoughts on my dreams....

My dreams mainly are about like living as a celebrity?
Not even through performing on a stage its more on a like a personal level..
Like i have dreams about just going shopping to somewere like urban outfitters or what ever with a random celeb who's my friend in the dream and being followed by paps and then reading about what they've written in a magazine.
It seems so real.. then I wake up :(
It's kinda weird but there are all different signs and stuff that have and that are appearing recently that are just telling me.."Follow your heart", "Take the risk", "you don't know unless you try".
So I'm going to do just that,
follow my heart and take the risk!
So now im just keeping my fingers crossed and following what my heart tells me :)
And y'know what these dreams are getting more and more frequent, so that must be a good thing, right?
