Don’t Give Up on Your Dreams
What is it that you really want to accomplish? When you close your eyes and visualize your dreams, what do you see? Often when we allow ourselves to dream, we enjoy blissful moments of our future success. Then, when we open up our eyes, we’re still faced with the same reality. It is at this moment that we may be tempted to put ourselves down and dismiss the dream… “That will never happen. Get real. I’m not good enough. I’m not smart enough. I can never earn enough money.

Don’t give up your dreams or your dreaming. Don’t let life cut your line as you reel in those dreams… hold on tightly… keep reeling… don’t give up… grab that net… and if they look like they’re about to leap out of the net after you’ve caught ‘em, jump in after ‘em, and keep on swimming, till you drown if you have to… but don’t ever let go of those dreams!
