"No matter who you are or where you're from, your dreams are valid. We all dream, but not with similar purpose or dramatic effect. Those of us who dream during the night draw from the darker recesses of their mind and wake in the day to find their dream gone; but the dreamers of the day are more purposeful beings, for they may act upon their dreams with open eyes and make their dreams possible. So, you either are a person who lives in a dream world or one that faces cold reality; and there again, you may even be someone who can turn one into the other!
If you are a dreamer, then dream not small dreams, for small dreams do not possess the power to move mountains or the hearts of others. To have a dream is to have a lifelong passport to the boundaries of one's imagination. To be given a dream is to be given the possibilities of making something in the future happen that would not have. One's dreams sustain one during troubled times. They become vessels of hope during the stormy passage of life's troubled waters and beacons of light on tempestuous seas. Hold your dreams close, for if you lose your grasp of them, you may herald in a life of harsh reality that is more difficult to cope with and temper without the presence of enduring hope and belief.
As a person who dreamed of reaching 100, yet discovered at the age of seventy that he had a terminal illness, I initially found it difficult to be positive about the inevitable. I eventually overcame the nightmare because of my dreams." William Forde: September 21st, 2017.
