There are crossroads in life where you can either choose the cold truth you see in front of you, or you can choose to chase the impossible dream. It’s only by believing in that dream, and pursuing it, that you can turn it into a living, breathing reality.

You must chase the dream to live the dream. Otherwise, it will only ever be an ephemeral fantasy in your mind.
