Conclusion: The Importance of Having Dreams in Life

According to John C. Maxwell, a dream is an “inspiring picture of the future that energizes your mind, will, and emotions, empowering you to do everything you can to achieve it”. (Source)

Following one’s dreams is an important aspect of life. Following dreams enables one to continue to be hopeful and be young at heart at any age.

Having inspirational dreams helps one develop courage and fuels a person with the drive to achieve success.

To follow one’s dream one must first have a goal, with a goal in mind it is easier to be distracted from negative events that happen in life. Through the process of achieving the said dream, an individual begins to understand and appreciate the meaning and lessons that come with failure. To follow a dream means to avoid the feeling of regret.

One can achieve their dreams first by finding inspiration. Inspiration helps give a sense of purpose. Inspiration can be found through hobbies, the people one meets, and the places one goes.

Most importantly, in pursuing a dream, an individual must not allow themselves to be controlled by the fear of failure. Believing in one’s self is the first thing a person needs to do to be able to chase their dreams.
