 “She had just realized there were two things that prevent us from achieving our dreams: believing them to be impossible or seeing those dreams made possible by some sudden turn of the wheel of fortune, when you least expected it. For at that moment, all our fears suddenly surface: the fear of setting off along a road heading who knows where, the fear of a life full of new challenges, the fear of losing forever everything that is familiar.” – Paulo Coelho

Lately- whether it is because of a song, a quote, a movie, a conversation, a beautiful place, etc.- I've been thinking a lot about my dreams and the way that I view them. Often, the only thing stopping us from going after what we want is fear that we will never achieve it. I’m sure that we can all say that this, (if not currently, then previously) was the case for us. Wouldn’t it be better to know- even if you find that you cannot fulfill all of your dreams the way that you would like to- that you at least tried? You are alive. You face a world of endless possibilities. Nothing is impossible if you are willing to work for it. At the end of the day, we will find comfort in knowing that we did all that we could to go after our dreams.

The journey is ultimately our destination. Focus on what you have here and now. Make the most out of this moment, and the ones to follow will be nothing short of wonderful. Choose to believe. Believe in yourself, believe in your dreams, believe that there is nothing in this world that you cannot achieve. Don’t focus on the outcome. Focus on your journey, and make it something beautiful.

Happy Saturday, everyone!
