The Beauty of Dreams

Posted on April 19th, 2010 by Shiloh DeWolf Pyne: "The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams". -- Eleanor Roosevelt


There are many people among my Facebook friends list who often post uplifting quotes about life. This one I really liked. It very well could have said "The future belongs to those who believe in their dreams". But "the beauty of their dreams" is so much more believable to me.

Everyone has a dream. Some people dream of being the best parents, or the most skilled carpenter. Some dream of being a published writer/author. There are dreams of innumerable types because there are billions of people on this planet who all hold a different perspective, and different ideas about their lives. Some people are actually living thier dreams right at this very moment. But what I think gets lost a lot of the time is the BEAUTY of not only having a dream, but working for it, and then actually achieving it - if only to have another dream take its place.

The beauty is in the process, the lessons learned, the people met along the way. The beauty is in the reward of achieving something you may have once felt it impossible to achieve. The beauty is having faith in yourself no matter what the obstacle. And the beauty is also knowing that if you feel like it, you can change your dreams, because they are YOURS.
