What IS the American Dream? I used to think it was a child's ambition to grow up, own a home, own a business, be a parent, and be able to bless our communities.
As I got older, I began to see the American Dream as nothing more than the "Pursuit of Happiness". Pursuit. Meaning: Always out of our reach, but yet having the opportunity reach.
The truth is, without the American Dream -- however you define it -- the average citizen would never find him/herself in a better situation than the day before.
Today, I live hand-to-mouth. But, I thank God it is in America, where I have a hand to put to my mouth.
