Keep on Dreamin

One of my very favorite bands, Eli Young Band to be exact, sings a song called Even If It Breaks Your Heart. It goes a little something like this:

Oh, oh, I can hear 'em singin
Keep on dreamin even if it breaks your heart.

And that's what I want to focus on. Keep dreaming.

Ever heard of Walt Disney? One genius guy, if you ask me. Did he ever stop dreaming? He couldn't have. And now we get to enjoy his dream of creating a magical fantasy world of Disney.

We all have dreams. Everyone does. It's a part of being human. We hope, we want, and we dream for things that we might eventually get, and even for things we know we will never have.

The point is that somewhere along the quest for a dream, it's going to get bashed and beaten a little bit. You might get made fun of for your dream. You might not reach your dream for a really long time, no matter how bad you want it.

That's ok. Without dreams, there would be no excitement in life. If we instantly got everything we wanted the instant we wanted it, we would never be truly satisfied with what we end up getting. Waiting for something is a way to see if you really want it.

Whenever I go shopping, my mom tells me to put it back on the rack and if I'm still dying to get it the next day, then it is worth buying. Otherwise it would have sat in my closet like the rest of my clothes.

So think of the dream that seems the hardest to wait for, the one that gives you as much grief as it does happiness sometimes. Once you find that dream, keep it. Hold onto that dream with all you got. The chances of that dream helping you soar to new heights is very likely.

So find your dream and don't let it down. If you keep believing, then it will keep you going.

Keep on dreamin, even if it breaks your heart.
