Because It's My Dream

Everything starts out as a dream - a smoldering passion begging to be pursued. There are those who are brave enough to grasp it, and there are those who surrender to the fear of failure.

Melissa: It's funny how people laugh and claim something is unattainable, that it's just a silly dream or wishful thinking. Dreams come true. Success has to begin somewhere. That's how great things are started - someone believed in their dream and decided to chase it. If you're willing to work hard, if you believe you can do it, and if you never abandon that dream, then nothing will stop you.

Ally: When you are vocal about you're goals there will always be someone who, knowingly or unknowingly, aims to tear them down. Of course, those challengers are necessary to success. The people who have doubt in you are, in a way, testing you. These tests are to see if you really are dedicated to your dreams. If you stand by your wishes even through the storm of negativity and challenges, achievement is something you not only deserve, but can allow yourself to expect.

If there is something you truly want to do, something you are truly passionate about, then go after it! Some people spend their entire lives searching but not finding their life's purpose. If you find it, there's no reason to hesitate! You only get one shot, and it's always better to take the shot and miss than not take it at all. Restrictions and limitations - you are the one that chooses what they are.

Melissa: What was I meant to do? What is my purpose? I want to find that one day, the reason I was born and the reason I am alive. Living a bleak desolate life, I think that's really sad. Isn't it better to live life endlessly chasing a beautiful dream than a life spent in a gray reality without meaning? Can you truly say that you are happy to be alive? Can you truly say that you don't regret giving up on your dreams just because Reality said it was a no go? Because you don't have to be special in order to pursue your dream. Dreams are given to you for a reason. Dream big. Dream unrealistically. And then turn those foolish, unrealistic dreams into a fantastic reality.

Ally: Wanting your life to turn out as planned is a far-fetched desire. Something that as hard for me to accept was that, maybe it's best to not have a plan. I stand by "If you fail to plan, you plan to fail", but I've also come to realize that if you have you route set to one destination, you miss all the glorious stops along the way. So keep an open mind, and maybe you'll discover your life goal along the road.

Dreams are nature's greatest gifts to the world. They are powerful things; a dream can change the heart of man and the entire world with it. As long as dreams continue to exist, mankind will never perish.
