The American Dream is not guaranteed for everyone - it is a dream , an aspiration - get over it!



The American Dream is not guaranteed for everyone - it is a dream , an aspiration - get over it!

Obama is lying to you ... not every Dream can come true. Not all Americans have the same dream. As President - he cannot promise you a job.

He can say his stimulus worked. YEP - his stimulus to banks and the rich - made them richer. So Obama is not the President for the regular people.

Some people achieve in life, some do not. And what is achievement? Who measures it?

Is the American Dream money?

The rags to riches stories are true. Sometime those who work very hard and with luck, do achieve what the set out to do.

Where does the Constitution guarantee jobs and prosperity for everyone?

The founding Fathers and Mothers believed that if you aspired, you worked hard and with faith and courage you would abide and endure. You would prosper. You COULD prosper.

No one in America is guaranteed home-ownership.

First you have to have a good job. You need to have a large substantial savings.

Just because you are in America - home ownership is not a pledge that the Government can make. You cannot even make that pledge to yourself.

AND if you do make that pledge to work hard and save for a home - you had better be ready to forsake your happy meals, forsake going to the movies.

Home ownership takes great sacrifice. You have to do without many things in order to save for that one big ticket item. You MUST have good credit.

A Dream (as per Walt Disney) is a wish you heart makes. All wishes do not come true. All dreams are not a psychic revelation of things to come.

In every society there are rich and poor.

As the Bible relates: There will always be those who have more than you , there will be those who have less than you.

If we begrudge those who have more - remember, there is someone begrudging us for having more then they do.

There will always be someone more athletic than you are, prettier, more handsome, more clever et cetera. Such is life.

Snap out of it! Get over it!

Enjoy what you have, who you are with.

We are not guaranteed anything. Tomorrow may never come.

Be grateful for what you do have. Family, friends and hopefully love.

I know many who own homes and who are miserably unhappy. I personally still aspire to own a home, even if it is a manufactured home, a tiny home, a small trailer.

But if I never do - my life is profoundly rich and fulfilled.

Have hope and faith. Aspire to touch the stars.

Live realistically within your financial means.

And occasionally you will find your mind, body and spirit are in equal harmony.

One thing to be sure of - there is nothing to be sure of.

The American Dream is not guaranteed for everyone - it is a dream , an aspiration - get over it!
