Dream a little dream

What is your latest dream?


[Insert Ife's latest dream here. It's top secret. Can't have EVERYONE knowing.]


I was looking up quotes about dreaming on the internet and found a few of these quotes by a few lesser known peeps and a few by the greats.

"A person starts dying when they stop dreaming."-Brian Williams

"But the delights of solitude don't only consist of dreaming. Next in enjoyment, I think, comes planning." Anna Neagle 

"A man is not old until regrets take the place of dreams."-John Barrymore

"A man is but the product of his thoughts. What he thinks, he becomes." -Mohandas K. Gandhi

"I have had dreams and I have had nightmares, but I have conquered my nightmares because of my dreams." -Jonas Salk

"But God speaks again and again, though people do not recognize it. He speaks in dreams, in visions of the night when deep sleep falls on people as they lie in bed. He whispers in their ear and terrifies them with his warning. He causes them to change their minds; he keeps them from pride. He keeps them from the grave, from crossing over the river of death." Job 33: 14-18

Basically what I'm saying is that dreams are important and significant. When we stop dreaming, I think we lose a very crucial balance between our realities and imaginations. Life doesn't stop when we start sleeping, but instead, this is what drives us to continue. I'm not saying anything new, but simply emphasizing that (even as adults) we should continue to dream: in the literal sense and abstract one as well. 


Whenever people ask of what I want to do after college, I used to tell them what I thought they wanted to hear, but I realized that my dreams (o sea the dreams that God has given me) are bigger than what people can define me to. My life and the events in it used to be driven by my dreams, but now I've gotten stuck and to be stuck is to not see what lies ahead. If I see the great things that lie ahead, I'll do whatever possible to not get stuck. Trust.


Aight, I'm done. Do what you must, but whatever you do, keep dreaming.


Much love, peace, and dreaming grease,

P.S. I'm super excited about the rest of this year because I now realize that the real world cannot offer what I'm going to experience/what I have experience in college, so I better live it up! Going rock climbing today and out with some amigas for a birthday celebration!
