In Others’ Words: The Importance of Dreams

Someone came up to me the other day and said, “I didn’t know you were an author!”

I smiled and said, “Yes, I am.”

Whenever someone says something like this to me, I pause and  remember I’m living my dream.

This crazy, challenging, some-days-I’m-not-sure-I can-do-it career? It’s my childhood dream come true.

And sometimes, I forget  it all started because years ago, I imagined that one day I would be an author.

Dreams are important because they are the genesis of so many good and beautiful things. Life-changing things. Our dreams change us as we pursue them. Dreams teach us to be stronger. Braver.  And the things we imagine can change others, too. The dreams of creatives result in books and songs and paintings that inspire others. And then there are the dreamers who produce scientific and cultural advancements. Or the people who dare to imagine cultural or spiritual advancement.

So many good things start with a beautiful, unexpected moment of imagination giving birth to a dream.

In Your Words: What dream are you living out loud today? Or what dream are you imagining today?
