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.

Dear Mom,

You took care of me and my brothers our entire lives and you still continue to! I will not be able to truly grasp all of the hard work that you put into this family until I create my own one day. But, I know that there are plenty of times I forgot to give you a simple thank you or an appreciative smile. I thank you for everything that you have done for me and will continue to do for me. Here are some examples of those times where you had my back and I forgot to pat your back for saving me:

College is hard. As people ages 18-22, we’re just trying to figure out what we’re doing with our lives, our careers, our eating habits, exercise routines, sleep patterns, and other necessities for adult life. We definitely don’t take proper care of ourselves; it’s basically impossible when we have essays, tests and readings due and somehow we’re supposed to eat right, exercise and sleep. We’re doomed to get sick. I have zero experience in science but when I get sick there are certain things I do to make myself better.

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.
