Dream on …

Just the other day I caught myself thinking of a grandiose future – mountains to conquer, rivers to cross and basically, being successful. Of course, all of them seemed virtually impossible to even comprehend at this time. I was about to tell myself “What ever are you doing, thinking like this?” when another thought popped in. That little thought said, “Well, it’s just a dream. And anyway if we did not have a dream to dream, a hope to look forward to, we would just remain where we are.” That’s when I began to rewind my memory files and go through the lives of some wonderful people I had read about or knew. All of them dreamed dreams bigger than their circumstances, all of them held on to hope when their horizon seemed bleak. Then I could not help the smile that broke out on my face. Yes, that’s what life is all about! Celebrating the good and the positive. It is that which gives us the strength to live, and live very well, a life that can sometimes be dark, unfair and incomprehensible.

So, my dear friend, dream on … And I pray that you will find hope, love and above all the strength to take life head on.
