Reach for the Stars

Dreaming

“Reach for the stars because if you should happen to miss, you’ll still be among them.” Anonymous

The power of a dream... Do you remember where your dreams took you as a child? I was a princess, I was a fairy, I was Barbie, I was Olivia Newton-John in Grease, I was a pageant contestant, I was an Olympic medallist, I had a castle, I travelled, I had a dolphin, I was the character in my favourite books, I was a detective, I was rich, I was famous, and the list went on. I was one of the lucky ones; I was always encouraged to dream. Yet, somewhere along the way, dreaming started to diminish and the real world took over; whether told to stop dreaming, pay attention and focus on the real world, or by nature’s course. Many people stop dreaming for good. My dreams started to fade to the background of my busy schedule. I stopped playing make believe. I stopped pretending I was a famous movie star.

Have you rekindled your dreams?
