You're only limited by what you do with your dreams
As a child, I would spend hours dreaming about my future. I imagined having a beautiful home and family with lots of children. I also dreamed of being a teacher, pianist, world traveler, baker or doctor. Dreaming motivated me to set goals that could make my dreams come true. It also encouraged me to learn new skills like painting, knitting and cooking.
Without any goals or dreams, my life would have been empty. When I dreamed, I realized that the opportunities in life were endless. A dream is something that you imagine might happen. There are no limits. Once you have a dream, you can create a goal. A goal is a specific objective that you can work toward. It has a plan and time limit, so you know when you reach it. Goals turn dreams into reality. Write your dreams down and evaluate whether or not they are realistic.
