*"Bed Clothes" is an old term used to describe one's sleeping apparel...maybe a nightshirt, or pair of shorts, or pajamas, etc. (It is not to be confused with modern-day "sleep-pants"...which, by the way, ought NOT be worn outside the home, and to the local 7-11 Store!)
*"Work Clothes" means whatever clothing is appropriate for the type of work one wishes to accomplish.
Now that we are clear on terms, there is this:
There are days I do not wanna get up and dress up! There are days I would very much rather stay in my bed clothes than get into some work clothes.
J.M. Power says, "If you want to make your dreams come true, the first thing you have to do is wake up." J.M. Power has no earthly idea how good it is to stay in bed and let the world roll on past, taking little or no notice. Of course, that can't become a lifestyle...but as a vacation it sure is nice!
Dreams do have to be fought for, however. Real dreams, I mean. Ones like "I have a dream..." that Dr. King spelled out all those years ago...and which still struggle to become reality. That kind of dream must be fought for...literally, vigilantly, evidently endlessly.
And obstacles cannot be allowed to get in the way of big and important dreams. Henry Ford (yeah, the automobile guy) said that, "Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off your goal." So, sure enough: Get up, Dress appropriately, and Fight for the dream! Whatever dream you are invested in at the time: Fight for it!
And don't be afraid of making big and little adjustments along the way as you chase down the dream, and fight the good fight. This message from a billboard might just offer some guidance: Success is 10% inspiration, 90% last-minute changes.
And once more: Sleep-pants are not outside-the-house appropriate! Really.
