Your dreams can be as large as an ocean liner or as small as a single person rowboat, but the choice is yours and the importance is equal.
Hopes and dreams are what fuels that fire deep in your heart to keep striving and working to push forward. And even when your dream is just a tiny flicker in the flame that is you, it is there, and it holds meaning. It tethers your everyday life of earning a living and doing what you need to do to the hope that you have for the future.
No matter the size of the ship, each one is anchored in place with what is, in comparison, a very tiny rope or chain called a mooring line. And though that line allows the boat to drift to and fro a bit, it still keeps it connected to, or anchored to, a given point. Your dream is your mooring line. It keeps you connected to the future that you are striving to reach. It is the bond between the present day and the future that you are working to build.
Beautiful. Every human has dreams, big and small. Not all dreams come through, but that’s doesn’t mean we should give up. Giving up robs of any and every chance of our dreams coming through. Our dreams are the hope so many of us use to go on to the next day, the next year and to stay alive.
