Short Thoughts on Dreams

I can’t give up my dreams. I can’t and I won’t. Dreams make you who you are. They are gifts, and they shouldn’t be wasted—no matter who says they’re wrong. Dreams wait in the mirrors and in the darkness on your ceiling at night.

They’re not about the outside world; they’re about your contract with the universe, with your true self. They are why you came here—why you were granted a life.

To capture a dream, what do I have to do? All I can do is all I must do. For without dreams we are but a shell seeking a purpose, and no more. This is not our destiny. Our destiny is to fulfill our purpose—whether any one else understands that or not.
