There are so many people that go through this life with absolutely no goals, dreams, or aspirations. I do not see how someone could make it through life without goals and dreams. If we do not have goals and dreams where is our drive going to be. If we are satisfied with our life and have absolutely everything we could ever want and need I could kinda understand I guess. But not even speaking materialistically, if we never have any goals of expanding our intelligence or self esteem etc what purpose does one even have through just existing. I cannot just exist. I love competition, pressure and deadlines. Every time I reach a goal or a dream I congratulate myself and then as they say I raise the bar. I will never be satisfied with mediocrity if I even spelled it right. As the title of my blog, DARE TO DREAM. One of the biggest reasons people dont dream is the fear of failure and the fear of rejection. We have got to put ourselves out there and dare to dream. If we dont attain it at least we didnt backslide. Lets keep on asking more of ourselves. Do you think Michael Phelps or Donald Trump or Albert Einstein were afraid of the dare to dream. Our society would not be what it is today if our ancestors were afraid to dream. Dreaming is like fuel to me. I hope this helps others as it has helped me just writing about dreaming. Cheers, Keith

Hi Keith,
I like your post! I do dream...started when I was very young. I also am an optimist. I have found that sometimes we lose track of our dreams and we need to be still enough to find them.
Keith,
You are so right about the fear of failure and rejection. Most people would rather avoid the great things in life than risk being rejected. It is one of the reasons I got into real estate. I dare to dream, but realize that the only way to conquer your fears is to confront them head on.
Keep on Dreaming Keith.
Kind Regards,
Manolis
like they say, most people aim for nothing and hit it with amazing accuracy. You can't fail without a goal but you cant succeed either.
Everything we do in life will get us closer or further away from our dreams... something to think about. Cheers.
Dreams help us reach for stars and reaching for stars causes us to look up.....and that is how we become successful.
Thank you for sharing.
I like the quote I have seen that says "what risks would you dare to take if you knew you would not fail"
I know someone without goals and dreams - they are the most miserable person I know
