Why Your Dreams Should Be Your Reality

Everyone has a dream...

Why Your Dreams Should Be Your Reality
Finer Minds

Everyone has had a dream at some point in their life. It might've been something from your childhood or something so small that you completely forget about it a day later, but some dreams fester inside you. They claw their way to the surface of your thoughts every chance they get and stay there, making you think about them incessantly. When you think about this dream of yours, you can see beyond whatever is going on in your life at the moment and into your future. You can see unadulterated happiness, and feel it dribble into yourself slowly.

Why, if our dreams make us deliriously happy, do many people think they're unreachable? Why do people not take it upon themselves to make their dreams their reality?

Maybe they are scared of failure, or what others may think, but, truthfully, if living out your dreams will enrich your life, why let your worries stop you from making your dreams your reality?

I think having a dream is important. Some think that dreams are just dreams, meant to be left in the land of fairytales and magic, but dreams should inspire us and push us to strive for something we desperately want.

Everyone should find a way to make their dreams a part of their reality. Not only will you appreciate working hard for something, and bringing it into your life, but you will be making yourself that much happier.

Having dreams is like setting goals. It forces you to prove to yourself that you can do it, that you can change your life whenever you need or want to.

Dreaming isn't for the weak. Rather, it's for those of us with guts and a desire to fulfill our lives in all of the ways that we want. It's for people with open hearts and minds, and people who want the best life possible for themselves and those that they love.

I don't think reaching your dreams is impossible. I think it takes hard work and determination to never let yourself fall short of your own wishes and expectations for yourself. Some may tease you and try to convince you that you will fail, or that it's just not possible for you to reach your dreams – maybe they even want you to fail – but it is your dream, no one else's, so it is truly all up to you. Nothing and no one can stop you when you're determined to make your dreams your reality.

While dreaming pushes you and gets you really far in life, it is something sadly not common anymore. Life is so regimented, planned from the day you are born, but life is pointless if you aren't dreaming and reaching for those dreams; working your hardest to make yourself happy and accomplished in your dreamland or reality.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
