FOLLOWING THE QUEST



Do you DREAM?

I'm not talking about at night when you are asleep.

But do you have a DREAM or DREAMS?

To dream the impossible dream
To fight the unbeatable foe
To bear with unbearable sorrow
To run where the brave dare not go


These are the beginning lyrics from the song, "The Impossible Dream" from the 1965 Broadway musical, "The Man of La Mancha."  The song was in response to the question of what the main character means by "FOLLOWING THE QUEST?"

How BIG are your dreams?

I've heard it said, and probably even quoted here in the BEST YEAR YET blog, that we should "Dream the BIGGEST dream we can and then go after it with everything we have."  

If you are going to dream, DREAM BIG.  It doesn't cost anymore to DREAM BIG!

To right the unrightable wrong
To love pure and chaste from afar
To try when your arms are too weary
To reach the unreachable star

This is my quest
To follow that star
No matter how hopeless
No matter how far

As we are concluding 2017 and stepping into 2018, what 2-3 DREAMS do you have that you can start your journey to "FOLLOWING THE QUEST?"

Some dreams and goals will be accomplished quick....some, you are to start to lay the ground work today.  You might not realize this dream or goal for months or years....but you have to START and not quit in order to get there.

To fight for the right
Without question or pause
To be willing to march into Hell
For a heavenly cause

And I know if I'll only be true
To this glorious quest
That my heart will lie peaceful and calm
When I'm laid to my rest

So DREAMER.....my challenge and encourage to you is to DREAM BIG...DREAM ON.

DON'T stop until you get there....no matter how long it takes!

And the world will be better for this
That one man, scorned and covered with scars
Still strove with his last ounce of courage
To reach the unreachable star
