I would like to call it goals, instead of dreams. Goals sound more achievable and well thought of. I'm not a very ambitious person, so I most of the time lose in achieving my goals. But, I know of one person who is very goal-oriented and competitive, that he will never end the year without hitting the marks. As the start of a year, he writes down 5 major goals he wants to achieve within the year, and he includes a deadline for those. These goals are not just getting a new haircut, or buying a new gadget. He is talking about life goals - such as a job promotion, a car, getting married, having a baby, and more. And, its not a surprise to me anymore, that he is really able to attain his goals. I just hope I can be like that, but Im too weak. I give up at the sight of trouble coming my way.

Well you just have to believe that it will happen, avoid the negative thoughts and never ever be afraid to be great. Do not listen to people who say negative things and do not believe that you can make your dreams come true, leave them immediately and do not ever let them be a part of your life because you deserve much better people than them. Remember to not compare yourself to others, maitain a positive attitude and work not for attention but for your dreams and only your dreams. Goodluck!

In life if we have dreams we must work on for it. I think planning helps to make our dreams to come true. I think we should belief in ourselves and tries to make our dream come true. We should make plans as to see what we can do to make our dreams come true. Most times what we need is always inside ourselves.

Let me say, "Focus, and hit the mark." "Behind the dark clouds, the sun will shine again." "I can do it!" Any of the quotes will remind me to keep my dreams realized. :-) Happy mylotting!

Nothing is impossible when you believe. It's important that we focus on out goal and remind ourselves the reason why we are working hard to reach our dreams. But sometimes we tend to burn out ourselves. When things seem to be heavy and difficult to bear, all I do is take a step back and breath. We work to hard that sometimes we just need to take a pause, let ourselves take a well deserved break.
