Now, I have a confession. I’ve always been a bit of a dreamer. I like to dream big and think big.
But, what’s more important than the actual dream is how you “chase the dream.” Achieving your dreams won’t be easy, but doesn’t it feel so gratifying when your dreams turn into a reality. For this, I’m reminded of a quote from a great television show- Scrubs.
“Nothing in this life that is worth having comes easy.” — Dr. Kelso.
It’s often the things you fight for the hardest, that are the most gratifying. Even if you don’t achieve everything you want, you know that you did everything you could and left no cards unturned.
For instance, I’ve turned several of my dreams into reality. But, there’s been quite a few abandoned ones along the way. For example, when I was eight, I wanted to be a professional basketball. I practiced every single day, but the odds weren’t in my favor. Let’s just say- I am vertically challenged. There’s not that many 5 foot, 4 inch basketball superstars out there.
But, I kept trying and then I made new (and more) attainable goals. Instead of playing basketball professionally, I decided I wanted to become a dedicated Miami Heat superfan. And see a game at everything single NBA stadium. I still have a long way to go on this one.
So, I’m going to keep chasing all my dreams. What dreams are you chasing?
I’ll leave you with one of my all-time favorite songs.
