Can Dreams Come True?


This is something everyone has to ask themselves in life. Everyone has a dream. A goal that appears unreachable, or at least difficult to obtain. In this instance:

  1. A wild fancy or hope.
  2. A condition or achievement that is longed for; an aspiration: a dream of owning their own business.
The key to this question depends on which number you believe is more accurate. I find personally it hovers between the two depends on my mood at that time. If I am feeling confident and good about everything then my dreams and aspirations appear reachable. When I am not my dreams seem to change to something attainable.

This is another area for consideration. Aspirations can change. Priorities alter as much as daily life. But does the idea of the original dream ever disappear? This is where resentment can harbour if a person feels they could have achieved their dreams but something out of their control stopped this from happening.

This is why as a friend or partner it is your duty to support people in their dreams for as long as you can, even if you feel it is a lost hope. The fact remains that if you were in the way of their dream then they would resent you for it and it wouldn't be worth the pain it would cause.

That being said, you have to hope that the person in question will constantly prioritise their dreams to know exactly when it passes over from achievable to unachievable, if it ever does.

I've heard the saying "dreams are like rainbows, only idiots chase them", however i'm a fan of self-actualization and if you never try you'll never know.

Dreams can come true, but ironically you need the very people that the pursuit of those dreams potentially hurt. It's something that has to be considered and constantly revised but definitely to be undertaken.

Peace
