A Recipe to Dream

Take one dream.
Dream it in detail.
Put it into your own hands.
See its final outcome clearly in your mind.
Mix it with a little effort.

Add a generous portion of self-discipline.
Flavour it with a wholesome pinch of ambition.
Stir briskly with confidence
Until the mixture becomes clear.
The doubt separated from the resolution.

Bake at an even temperature in a moderate mind
Until the dream rises and is firm to the touch.
Decorate with individuality.

Cut into generous portions and serve.
Approached in this manner.
Life is a piece of cake.
