The Courage to Follow Your Dream

I find everyone has at least one thing that they dream of doing but a lot of the time they don't have the courage to follow through.
My husband's dream was to be a firefighter but he finally got the courage to join the volunteer department here in Johnson's Chapel.
My dream was to be a writer and publish just one book. I don't have the courage to follow that as I keep writing and I never finish anything.
Maybe one day soon we'll both have our dreams as I've started working on mine again. I sent a small bit of it to a friend last night.
My husband starts his training school next Saturday.
What is your dream? Did you have the courage to follow it or is it still a dream for you?

I have a sort of love/hate relationship with dreams and goals for my life.
I think to myself whether God, if he exists, would like us to have our own goals, or dreams for ourselves to pursue and to fulfil in our lives, or if it is better for us to just live and let live, like the plants and trees do, without any plans, goals, dreams, or purpose.
God, I would say, has his plans for every part of his creation, individually so, and yet he allows each part to grow themselves into his plan, from pursuing their own side plans in their lives.
Even plants can do this, by pursuing growth in new ways, from the evolutionary process in them, which is also a part of the human body too, of course, but us humans have other factors too, inputting from our souls, as higher plans and purposes, for our lives.
I think we should follow our dreams then, but with the proviso that we should not override these higher plans, missions, and purposes, for our lives, with any pipedreams that are not really helping the life of our soul to reach heaven in its time, through its growth in love, here and now, in our lives, here and now, here.
