Dreams

Dreams. Everyone has dreams. Some people work to make them come true. Some people don’t even try because they don’t want to be disappointed. But dreams are what keep us happy. God loves it when you have dreams. Because when you have dreams, you have faith that those dreams will come true.
Little children cover their walls with posters of famous athletes dreaming that one day that will be them on someone’s wall. Teenagers sit in class and dream of their life and what it will be. Parents stand over their baby’s crib dreaming of what their baby will achieve. Everyone dreams.
Without dreams, you are nothing. You have nothing to look forward to, nothing to work for. It’s what you do with your dreams is what makes you the person you are. Will you go out and work for to make your dream come true? Put in those extra hours in the gym after your friends go home? Study, instead of going out? Work that overtime so your child can go to a good preschool?
Or are you one of those people that sit and dream those beautiful dreams every day, but don’t get up and act on them because you are afraid of disappointment? You’ve gotten hurt or disappointed too many times and want to protect yourself. But what you can’t see, is that you are hurting yourself even more. You are more unhappy dreaming that dream that’s just out of reach then you would be if you dreamt, worked for it and fell short.
What person are you? Do you know what you want? Are you willing to work for it? Don’t stop dreaming, because without dreams you are nothing.
