Art inspires. Words, in particular, resonate with me. Conversations, articles, blog posts, books, movies, even tv shows. TV gets a bad rap. I criticize it often myself… but to be honest. I find almost as much inspiration and relate-ability, and as many quotable words in some television shows as I do in my favorite books.
“Believe that dreams come true everyday. Because they do.”
No, that’s not a line from a Disney movie.
Yes, it was my inspiration for today.
I was writing this morning, and I remembered the quote from a One Tree Hill episode I watched recently (don’t shake your head at me!). And it got me to thinking about my own dreams. Secret and not so secret wishes for my life. I wrote it all out. My ideal life.
Some things I wouldn’t change. My relationships, my friends, my family. The way we work together, love each other, grow together.
Some things I would change. The nature of my work, some activities I love that I’ve let fall out of my life, the place that I live (though I love Santa Barbara dearly).
But what was really cool to see… was that even my most bold idea… my most outrageous dream for the future… wasn’t that far out there. Everything that I want for my life, I’ve either started, ever so slowly, into motion… or if I haven’t, I realized how completely attainable it was.
Time and energy and persistence and patience and trust and dedication and keeping up the dreaming are all necessary things, of course… but when I think of dreams that I’ve had in the past that are true and real today… I’m struck by it.
As cheesy as it may sound…
“Believe that dreams come true everyday. Because they do.”
