Pursue Your Dreams

 

It may seem simple, but reading quotes like these can really motivate and inspire me on days when I need a little pick me up.  In today's society, I think we are often too quick to give up because we feel that our dreams are unrealistic or that we may not succeed the first time.  I am as much at fault of defeating myself before I try too.  I'm a very realistic person and sometimes forget to be free and dream of wild and crazy things.  Believe it or not, it is healthy to dream and let our imaginations run wild.  It is the balance between our imagination and reality that we need to embrace in order to be happy and successful.  This balance is harder than it seems to find and is part of our journey throughout our lives.  As children, we embrace our imaginations better but as we grow older and we are told to face reality and make decisions, we often start to lose what gave us such incredible joy in our lives, our imagination.

So, as I write this, I hope this post as well as the quote, inspires you to think about some of the dreams you've pushed to the back of your mind because you thought they weren't realistic.  Think about what made you aspire to do that thing or have that dream.  For me, when I try to think a little more unrealistically, I start to look at my bucket list and all the adventurous things I would like to do during my lifetime.  Sometimes I feel that they could never happen, but other times I have to pinch myself and say, never say never.  You never know when you can follow your dreams, all it takes it a little motivation and a whole lot of hope and imagination.
