Courage and a Dream

What are our dream goals and how do we pursue them? A wise man, known as Walt Disney, once said "All our dreams can come true – if we have the courage to pursue them." This quote is very true. Why have dreams or set dreams if we do not have the courage to pursue them.Whether or not we want to pursue those dreams are our choice. We all have dreams that at one point in our lives we want to accomplish. Whether, in the beginning, they were to become a princess or a prince and now in the present they are to become a doctor, a teacher, or a firefighter. Dreams that are made to be accomplished are what we strive for everday. We set our mind to a specific goal or certain goals and we work hard in order to get closer to those goals and accomplish our dream.

I know that I have a dream and the courage to pursue it. Although my dream may not be exact, for example what I want to be when I grow up; I still have an overall dream. My dream is to grow up and be a successful and courageous woman. I know that I can accomplish this dream without a doubt. I just have to stay focused and be honest with myself and who I really am. Sure there may be obstacles in my pathway that try to bring me down, but I just have to get back up and keep going. This is where the courage comes in. When you are bumped, bruised, and beaten to the ground trying to reach your dream, do you have the courage to get back up and keep working at it? No matter how many scars have been implemented trying to strive for that one particular goal, in the end it will all be worth it. Just imagine the feeling that will run through your body when you have finally achieved that one dream. That one dream that keeps you working day and night. That one dream that causes blood, sweat, and tears. That one dream that drives you crazy because sometimes you feel the urge to give it up. And that one dream that in the end will pay off for every little piece of work that you put into it. Having a dream is something we aim for everday in life and having the courage to pursue that dream is what will ultimately allow us to accomplish it.

  1. Jenny this is really good! We all have dreams, but it’s sad some people aren’t strong enough to go after them though. We need courage to be brave enough to reach our goals. I mean everything has a challenge to it, if not they wouldn't be dreams. When we set our minds to something, anything is possible.

  2. Jennifer the quote you chose is now one of my favorites. I strongly agree that our dreams can come true as long as we are brave enough to follow them. I compliment you on your detail and your own personal analysis of Walt Disney’s quote. You brilliantly explained how to pursue ones dreams. By including descriptions such as “bumped, bruised and beaten”, you demonstrate situations that can are dire, but in the end can turn out just right. I truly enjoyed your essay.

  3. I absolutely love this quote :) You really expressed your determination you have to succeed in life, and that's a characteristic thats very admirable. It's true, that if we work hard enough at our dreams, we can turn them into realities, its just a matter of time and perseverance that'll get us there. Great post Jenny :D

  4. I absolutely agree with your point of view. We all have something we strive for everyday and we do need the courage to pursue it. Our dreams are very attainable if we work hard for it and take each day and mold it to fit the road to our dream. We all need the courage and motivation to make our dreams come true and family, friends, colleagues, teachers, counselors are all there as our support to push us forward. Your writing is great and your quote is awesome. I love Walt Disney(:

  5. I very much agree with you Jenny. What is the point of us having dreams if we're not going to pursue them. It's like having high goal and not making any effort to attempt to work on reaching those goals. It's a flat out waste of time to dream if one is not going to try to make them come true. I love this quote that you used it was great.

  6. I take this quote to heart. I plan on persuing my dreams but sometimes I second guess myslef and ask myself am I good enough? But your cute really lifted my spirits. I or anyone shouldn't feel like this but we should be planning my next move and always try my hardest to reach our goals. We just have to remind ourselves that we are good enough and encourage ourselves to do it. Great post!
