There is a danger in the avid pursuit of one’s dreams – selfishness, self-absorption, self-centeredness. The way to avoid this danger is to always stop to live each day and cherish each friend or family member.

When we value each person for their dreams and hopes and struggles and pain, we deny selfishness a point of entry into our hearts and lives. As important as it is to pursue our dreams, we must remember that the dreams of others are equally important.
