Dreaming Big: Or Why You Should Probably Just Ignore Reality

Okay, folks, let’s talk about the big, fluffy cloud of dreams floating above our heads. You know, those dreams that seem as real as unicorns and chocolate rivers? Yeah, those! Here’s a hard truth: if you want your dreams to come true, you might have to be a little delusional. Like, wear-a-tinfoil-hat kind of delusional.

You see, if you sit around waiting for proof that your dreams are actually possible, guess what? They’ll stay as far away as your homework on a Saturday morning. But if you chase them with the boldness of a kid running for the ice cream truck, you might find yourself asking, “Am I just tricking myself here?”

Now, don’t get me wrong: there’s no magical fairy godmother guaranteeing that your dreams will come true. But here’s the kicker … if you never try, they are definitely not coming true. Thanks, Captain Obvious!

Franz Kafka, who sounds like he might’ve been the original emo poet, once said, “By believing passionately in something that still does not exist, we create it.” Translation: if you want something that’s not there, you’ve got to want it really, really badly. Like wanting a pet dragon bad. 

Sure, doubt is that annoying little gremlin that pops up and says, “Hey, maybe you should just binge-watch TV instead.” But guess what? You don’t have to listen to that gremlin. Instead of just hanging out in your comfort zone like a couch potato, trust that your passion can actually shape your reality. 

So, the longer you wait to believe in your dreams, the longer they’ll stay impossible; just like finding a matching needle in a haystack. Freedom comes when you dare to believe in something enough to make it real. So go ahead, put on those rose-colored glasses and dream big. Who knows? You might just end up something bigger than you intended.
