Question Reasonable vs Unreasonable Dreams

I have a situation. I have dreams. Extremely challenging dreams. I contend that while challenging and needing of immensely high "co"incidence through manifestation they are possible.

I have run multiple businesses some have failed, others were set aside, but my current computer business has survived through it all as well as multiple near deaths while still paying the bills enough to reinvest and pay my bills. I modified the systems and I'm working to see how the new systems function toward my greater company goals. I am finalizing a contract to own a part of another business to provide my specialty without having to be the core of the business. I am also working on another business plan which I already have multiple investors interested in even before the plan.

I risk big and I accept failure as a possibility on the road to success.

The biggest of the dreams is that I have spent about 9 years designing a legal system as well as a govenment. I believe it's possible through many methods to incorporate portions of the legal and government systems into current countries, but my biggest goal would be to run the complete system. I would literally like to "buy" a territory or event a poor government and invest in the infrastructure as well as insitute the legal and governing system.

My primary life partner tonight dared me to post this message (although she said I should try to send it straight to steve there is little chance he will have time personally to respond). We had an argument. She believes this dream is completely absurd and that I am a lovable unbelievable fool to dream it.

So, with what you've heard what does everybody think?

A Fool? A Dreamer? Possible? What say you?

Martin Luther King had a dream that was larger than life, I see no one calling him a fool...

You should probably realize, though, that a dream like yours may not turn into reality during your life time (if ever) - but that don't mean it's not worth pursuing.

Trying and failing tastes better than regretting having never tried

What quality or condition will be present in your life when you achieve this goal? Does that quality or condition inspire you? If it does, then you are on target. If it does not, then your dream is nothing but a bandaid, covering up a sense of lack in your life.

Another key indicator: if that quality or condition inspires you, are you able to communicate it to others so that they are inspired, too? Your life partner, us, the people closest to you, others whom you would want on your team?
