Find a new dream to keep you going in life. I suggest taking little steps to fulfill your dream.

Obviously I continue living. Unfulfilled dreams don't kill - they wound the spirit temporarily and yet ultimately strengthen faith, I believe. I am certain in this economy many dreams have died or are near death. I ask myself frequently, "How different would your day look if you had limitless financial resources?" I find it to be the best reality check on what IS important. The answer is always the same. The people who share love and Life with you are what really matters most.

What if you don't have a dream? I don't think everyone does. Maybe when you are a kid, but it seems pretty rare to me. In my group of some 15 close friends, maybe one has had the dream since childhood and actually went on to live it. The rest of us pretty much stumbled onto whatever we are doing, for good or ill. And having a goal isn't the same thing as having a dream. I think having a goal is just a way to make the most out of whatever it is you've ended up with.

The nice thing about getting older is that I find myself letting go of any anxiety about whether I had any dreams or fulfilled them or what not. I am happy just to live and to enjoy the simple pleasures that life affords me. I wonder sometimes if all the emphasis on 'Living the Dream' is part of what leads to all the dissatisfaction and anxiety in the world. Better to be happy with whatever you have to be happy with.

Been there, done that. Change direction, set a new course, follow a different star. Dreams are not set in stone and should not be. Life is a journey and the journey is more important than the destination. How boring is your life that you would settle for a single destination or fulfillment of a "dream"?

I started out life with no defined purpose, worked in numerous professions over the past 57 years and I still don't have a set "dream". That's not saying I don't have ambitions or desires for my life, I just don't tie myself to any "one desire" or any "one dream".
I have many dreams and sometimes they turn in to nightmares. I don't lose any sleep over it though. I'll keep plugging away at whatever until I run out of room to grow, then I'll move on to new adventures and new opportunities. No, my compass is not broken, it points to what my heart desires most...at that moment.

There are other dreams. Life has many chapters. I start another life chapter and keep on trying.

I never give up within reason. I try to intelligently and objectively assess the situation and figure out if it is a realistic or trivial pursuit. I'm highly sensitive and emotional which sometimes gets in the way but I realize that and try to move on to something else that is important to me. But the main thing is that I 'believe' and never quit.

I figure out why.'cause if figure if I didn't fulfil it..I probably didn't want to in the first place..maybe it wasn't really my "dream" maybe it was a passing fancy.

and it's all well and good to have a "dream", but, if that's your "goal"..then you gotta have a plan to get there. and sometimes, those goals may take a long time to get there.
so what is your "dream"?

Then I ask myself why I chose not to, because I think everything's within our grasp if we want to work hard enough for it. If I didn't achieve it there's a good chance it wasn't really my dream to start with, meaning that I adopted a dream someone else had for me - like a parent's dream for their child, without ever evaluating it and truly claiming the dream as my own.
