Why Do We Have Dreams ?

Why should we bother with chasing our dreams when we could just sit back and stay in our comfort zones forever ? Why do we have dreams in the first place anyway ? How do we see something and decide we want to do that for the rest of our lives ? Why is it so easy to make a decision that could change every routine we have , everything we ’ re used to ? I think in order to have a dream you have to have an epiphany , a sort of awakening moment . This moment has to be so powerful and emotionally triggering for you to decide if you want to take your whole life to a new path . But this isn ’ t something that happens very often . If we had these epiphanies on a weekly basis , there would be no point and there wouldn ’ t be a reason for us to take them seriously . What makes them special is that they ’ re one of these once-in-a-lifetime experiences for most of us . The moment we see something and say “ I could do that forever .” is not like any other . We are so mesmerized we just decide we will dedicate so much time and energy to one thing that will give us nothing but fulfilment . Maybe that ’ s all it takes . Maybe all we seek is a way to feel whole by ourselves and with the things we do . That ’ s why everyone should have a dream , a vision . That ’ s the only thing anyone can truly live for , something they believe in and something they would give everything up for . Sometimes it is draining , sometimes you wonder if it ’ s worth anything , sometimes you feel lost . But it all makes sense when you eventually live your dream or even come near it . In conclusion , dreams might sound crazy , they may seem unreal , and sometimes the effort you put into them doesn ’ t make sense ; nevertheless fulfilled ; that ’ s all you need .
