Dreams

I have a new dream now that I am driven too. Sometimes I think what if this is all for nothing? But then I stuff that thought down and focus on what I need to do. It can be lonely when you have a dream and no one else understands what you want to do or is as excited and motivated like the way you are. Challenges are only there to make you become stronger. Do not give up on your dreams! I truly believe that those dreams are seeds that God planted to see what you will do with it, how bad you want it and how hard you are willing to work for it. What if everyone gave up at every moment of adversity? If I really didn't want to pursue this dream I could name a million reasons why NOT to do this as I am sure that every person walking on this earth could think of just as many reasons to give up on their own dream (time, money, effort, energy, risk, etc) but I really want to try. So even if I end up doing this on my own I can say I TRIED I put in the full effort even if no one else cares.

Dreams
by Langston Hughes


Hold fast to dreams
For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird
That cannot fly.


Hold fast to dreams
For when dreams go
Life is a barren field
Frozen with snow.


"All men dream but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity; but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dream with open eyes to make it possible."
T.E. Lawrence
