Squaring Off

Dreams, for being ethereal strains of imagination, are pretty substantial. The good ones last through all of life's trials, and even become stronger. Dreams can be anything. From a small wish to an ardent need, the spectrum is wide.




So why don't I face mine more often? They're regarded as lofty aspirations that are mostly unattainable. That's silly.


Look at all the amazing things people have accomplished. Beautiful, frightening things like epic photographs and fabulous skyscrapers and scientific discoveries. These things take hard work, determination, and sometimes guts to pull off!

Dream no small dreams for they have no power to move the hearts of men.
~Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Dreams are sturdy. The ones worth fighting for can stand up to your realization of them!



So I'm gonna fight for mine . . . no more blind feeling of these hopes and dreams. Full-on, intentional grasping of them will work far better.



Square off with your dreams: work for them: and be strident and passionate! What better way is there to live life?

I don't think there is a better way to live your life. But I think you have to be careful, also, that those dreams don't make you feel discontent if God has other plans.

You are an amazing photgrapher!

I love all your pictures of.... Ruth :D :D This is a wonderful post, dear! And I agree - dreams may sound ethereal, but really, to come true they must be gritty, sweaty, and sometimes all in need of a good scrubbing.
