My friend and I were joking around and my comment “keep dreaming” was met by the retort “that’s where it all begins”. This in itself proved to be a powerful thought as Shane felt the need to point out *thanks Shane* :).
Dreaming is very important because it gives us something to work towards achieving. Growing up I’ve always heard of the all-American dream – the house with the white picket fence, the husband/wife, the dog and the 2.0 kids.
Many of us keep our eyes on that dream and work our asses off to accomplish it. While this might not be the combination for everyone, I find that we tend to have variations. For example, while my end goal professionally to become an exceptional UX Designer, my personal end goal is to own my own home and perhaps get married and have a child.
Now whilst dreaming, it is important to know that not at all times will things go according to plans.
The important thing is not to let the failure or the fear of failing again define you. Pick yourself up, keep your dream in mind, cry if you have to then GO AGAIN!!!
Another important thing is to be careful of who you keep close while working towards your dream. Not every one who says he/she is your friend wants you to succeed, worse if he/she is failing. Find people who will support and encourage you, for the best, no matter the situation. Keep your dream close, protect it and most importantly, WORK AT IT.
Keep dreaming lovies. Keep working towards those dreams.

In my opinion failures are like proving grouds for the truly great. Unless we continue to carry on despite the turmoil we aren’t actually worthy enough.
That is so true. As I pointed out, some of the greats failed terribly before going on to succeed enormously
