Think back to your childhood.\u00a0\u00a0What did you want to be when you “grew up”? A police man, teacher, pastor, or \u00a0doctor? Or maybe an astronaut, or senator.<\/p>\n

I believe the best kind of dreams are the ones you have as a child, the dreams that stay with you and shape the person you become.<\/p>\n

When I was a child I wanted to be a veterinarian,\u00a0\u00a0but that wasn’t my calling.\u00a0 I have been given a compassionate heart for all animals and I am thankful for it.<\/p>\n

As long as dreams live, the soul flourishes.<\/p>\n

Right this very moment I dream that I will run again some day. And I will.<\/p>\n

What are your dreams? <\/strong><\/p>\n

Quotes on followng your dreams:<\/p>\n

I have spread my dreams beneath your feet. Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.
\nW.B. Yeats<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined.
\nHenry David Thoreau<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world.
\nHarriet Tubman<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Reach high, for stars lie hidden in your soul. Dream deep, for every dream precedes the goal.
\nPamela Vaull Starr<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

All men dream but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity; but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dream with open eyes to make it possible.
\nT.E. Lawrence<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\n
