Cherish Your Dreams and Aspirations


Do not lose hold of your dreams or aspirations.
For if you do, you may still exist but you have ceased to live.
- Henry David Thoreau

Far away there in the sunshine are my highest aspirations.
I may not reach them, but I can look up and see their beauty,
believe in them, and try to follow where they lead.
- Louisa May Alcott

Keep high aspirations, moderate expectations,
and small needs.
- William Howard Stein

You will become as small as your controlling desire;
as great as your dominant aspiration.
- James Allen

Within our dreams and aspirations we find our opportunities.
- Sugar Ray Leonard

Today's exercise:
Reexamine that to which you aspire.
Do you need different goals?
Or perhaps the same destination,
but a better way to get there?
