The importance of having a dream

Hello there, everyone. We have made it into a new season, what feels like the ‘New Year’ to many. How are you feeling about that? This morning, on YouTube, I watched Prime Minister Mark Carney’s speech at the opening of the Toronto Film Festival. He said something which I thought was really amazing and inspiring:

“A young person is someone whose dreams are bigger than their accomplishments.”

I am sorry to say I didn’t catch who he attributed the quote to, and I haven’t been able to find it online either. If someone knows, please let me know!

What struck me about the quote was— Is having a dream the key to feeling and being young, deep down in your soul? I think it might be!

So as we enter the fall, what are your hopes and dreams?

I found a couple more quotes about the importance of having a dream:

“Never give up on what you really want to do. The person with big dreams is more powerful than one with all the facts.” — Albert Einstein

“Life is too short to settle; if you’re not doing what you love, then keep looking.” —Steve Jobs

Today, I want to offer a toast to the idea of having a dream and living it— the possible Fountain of Youth!

I am hoping and praying that you may experience a fall full of dreams, meaning, and fulfilment, as well as joy in the fall colours which will soon be emerging! May it be so!
