Don't let anyone stomp on your dreams
Some people say that dreams are just dreams. Nothing more or nothing less. When we sleep at night we dream and some times we forget what we dream about. Sometimes however, we remember our dreams and often time we are at a loss to understand how our dreams relate to reality and our daily lives.
Robert F Kennedy once said: "Some men see things as they are and say why? I dream things that never were and say why not." This quote has had a very profound effect on me throughout my life and it's the quote that I often use to get me motivated.
For the purpose of this editorial, I'm not referring to the dreams that take place at night while we sleep. I'm referring to the dreams that we have as kids. The ones that we have when we imagine what we would like to grow up to be. The ones that we have when we attend college or university. The ones we have when we start our very first job. The ones we have when we retire. The ones we have for our kids.
These are all dreams. If we hope and wish for something then it's a dream. If we say that we'd like to have enough income to live on when we retire, it's a dream. If we say that we'd like to travel to Europe or the Far East, then it's definitely a dream. If we say that when we grow up we'd like to be a pilot, then that too is a dream. Dreams, dreams! The one thing about them is that they are ours and no one can take them away from us unless we let them. No one can stop us from dreaming and no one can tell us what to dream about.
Dreams are precious and whether or not we like to admit it, they play a very important part in our lives. For what would our lives be like if we did not hope, wish, or dream? That good old birthday cake with the candles just waiting for the birthday girl or boy to blow them out after making a wish, that is a dream. Dreams have been with us for longer than a day and they are precious. Believe it or not, almost all of us use them to get where we want to go. We must therefore keep them safe and treasure them. Keep them always close to our hearts and never let anyone stomp on them. For if we do, we would have a very difficult time living our lives the way we want.
