Montys Dream
July 15, 2023
This world is filled with those who love to crush our dreams. There are teachers and educators and authority figures for millennia who've taught us to be small, to comply with rules and regulations and to obey orders, to be good citizens, all at the expense of losing our reason for being here, for forgetting our purpose and crushing our dreams. This video shows how to reverse that.
But of course, there are others too, that shine as beacons of light in this seeming darkness. There are the inspirers, the way-showers, the guiding lights who motivate us to our highest heroic outcomes. They don't let anyone crush their dreams. This video shows one of them, the great Monty Roberts.

I have a friend named Monty Roberts who owns a horse Ranch in Southern California. He has let me use his house to put on fundraising events to raise money for youth-at-risk programs. The last time I was there, he introduced me by saying, I want to tell you why I let Jack use my horse.
It all goes back to a story about a young man who was the son of an itinerant horse trainer who would go from stable to stable, racetrack to racetrack, farm to farm, and ranch to ranch training horses. As a result, the boy's high school career was continually interrupted.
When he was a senior, he was asked to write a paper about what he wanted to be and do when he grew up.
That night, he wrote a seven page paper describing his goal of some day owning a horse ranch. He wrote about his dream in great detail, and he even drew a diagram of a 200-acre ranch showing the location of all the buildings, the stables, and the track. Then he drew a detailed floor plan for a 4,000 square foot house that would sit on a 200 acre dream ranch. He put a great deal of his heart into the project, and the next day he handed it in to his teacher.
Two days later, he received his paper back. On the front page was a large red F with a note that read, "See me after class."
The boy with the dream went to see the teacher after class and asked, "Why did I receive an F?"
The teacher said, "This is an unrealistic dream for a young boy like you. You have no money. You come from an itinerant family. You have no resources. Owning a horse ranch requires a lot of money. You have to buy the land. You have to pay for the original breeding stock. And later, you'll have to pay large stud fees. There's no way you can ever do it."
And then the teacher added, "If you will rewrite this paper with a more realistic goal, I will reconsider your grade."
The boy went home and thought about it long and hard. He asked his father what should he do.
His father said, "Look, son, you have to make up your own mind on this. However, I think it is a very important decision for you."
Finally, after sitting with it for a week, the boy turned in the same paper, making no changes at all.
He stated, "You can keep the F, and I'll keep my dream."
Monty then turned to the assembled group and said, "I tell you this story because you are sitting in my 4,000 square foot house in the middle of my 200 acre horse ranch. I still have that school paper framed over the fireplace."
He added, "The best part of the story is that two summers ago, that same school teacher brought 30 kids to camp out on my ranch for a week. When the teacher was leaving, he said, Look, Monty, I can tell you this now. When I was your teacher, I was something of a dream stealer. During those years, I stole a lot of kids dreams. Fortunately, you had enough gumption not to give up on yours."
Moral, don't let anyone steal your dreams. Follow your heart. No matter what. No dream is too big or too small when one works hard to live it. One should always try making dreams come true, no matter what.
We'd like to share two books with you now. The first is Standing Tall. This is a book that helps to acquire the 13 riches of life effortlessly by Mark Januszewski. The other is the Book of Manifesting by our own Aingeal Rose, and both are available on Amazon and where all good books are sold. The links for both of these are below.
Finally, remember, we created the World of Empowerment for just such a purpose, to empower people to realize their dreams. If we can help you live the life of your dreams, please contact us. Aingeal Rose and I are grateful to give to the dreams of others, and we always keep our promises!
Blessings and bye for now.
