“First, say to yourself what you would be; and then do what you have to do.”
– Epictetus, Discourses
Who do your dreams call you to become? How will fulfilling your dreams transform you? If fulfilling a dream will not make you better or stronger is it worth pursuing?
I am convinced that as we reach the second phase of our lives and we are given the gift of a chance to pursue our dreams, we owe it to ourselves to pursue only worthy dreams. The others are probably best left in the memory of the years of our immaturity.
The dreams that remain, the dreams that draw us forward, should be worthy of the experience, the wisdom and the skill acquired over half a lifetime. Worthy dreams demand of us new growth and new passion for life. When you have discovered that dream hiding somewhere deep in your soul, it will demand all that you have to give and in return it will give you a more fulfilling and happy life.

“The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.”
– Eleanor Roosevelt
Throughout our lives we dream of a future we would like to design. From childhood dreams of a world filled with lollipops and cotton candy, available to us every moment, our dreams change to what life would be “if only.” In time, our dreams mature apace with our lives and we dream of a future more beautiful, more compelling and more perfect than the reality of life at the moment.
The true beauty of a dream is its power to transform the present into a future that is better in some meaningful way. A dream might promise something better only for the dreamer or it might aspire to something greater for society. Often what begins as the former will find fulfillment as the latter.
One of the most magical things about dreams pursued is the power of the pursuit to transform the dream itself and make it something more worthy of pursuit and more beautiful to all who are touched by its achievement.

“There is nothing like a dream to create the future.”
– Victor Hugo
Human history glows with the truth of Hugo’s words. Human civilization has progressed through every age because courageous people dared to dream a better future and then dared to make it true. If you doubt it, pick up any novel by Victor Hugo and read the beautiful and transformative stories of those who dreamed and whose dreams shaped the future.
It makes no difference how big a dream might be. Every dream has the power to evoke our greatest strength, our most compelling determination, and our most luminous success. Only those who dream will ever know how big the dream or what effort was required to make it real. But a dream fulfilled will stand alone as a measure of achievement and, hopefully, as a measure of lives improved.
No matter how expansive or how personal you believe your dream to be, it is the sharing of it and the achievement of it that will reveal its true power to create a better future.
