(dreams)

“Dreams come true; without that possibility nature would not incite us to have them”—John Updike

Those are some extremely powerful words. Dreams have always mystified me. We dream subconsciously, and have seemingly no control over what we dream; but really, what are dreams? Your dreams could be about something that has been nagging you all day; your dreams could be your deepest desires; or they could be your most intense fears. We as humans tend to dream a lot-we have wishes, we have desires, we have wants. Sometimes, though, you wake up wishing the dream you just had could come true, and the fact is, it can come true. If there is something you really and truly want, you can achieve it. You wouldn’t be able to imagine something that cannot be accomplished by you. Every wish, every desire is possible. Anything can come true if you put your mind to it. Any one of us can achieve anything at all. It’s our attitude and mind-frame which changes everything.

In my opinion, a hero is someone who beats all odds to achieve what is deemed impossible. A hero achieves his dreams, and we all have the potential to become heroes. There are no stupid dreams, because everyone has their own dreams, and everyone’s entitled to that. As we say goodbye to the people around us, as we move on with our lives, we have our dreams keeping us going. It’s our dreams and desires which keep us alive. If we don’t dream, we have nothing to work towards. We don’t have motivation. Have you ever thought about why it’s little children who are associated with dreams? It’s because they dare to open their minds and they don’t use the word “impossible”, because nothing’s impossible-if it was, we wouldn’t have even thought of it would we? The very fact that we came up with the dream means that it’s within our power to make it happen.

Don’t tell yourself something is “not possible”, because you’re the only one standing in your way. I risk sounding like a motivational greeting card, but: you can do it! There’s nothing you can’t accomplish.
