Hopes Wish: How One Girls Dream Made Others Come True

When we care deeply about something, it can be difficult to know when to let go. Sometimes our hopes are all we have to keep us getting out of bed in the morning. We could hold on tight and keep carrying our hopes and dreams forward, but such a heavy and hollow load limits our capacity to find other more fulfilling alternatives.

We could drop everything and walk around angry and bitter, but this distracts us from finding joy in the things we do have and leaves our arms empty. We have a very small family now that 3 of my siblings have died!

No family is anywhere near me so I do this alone. I lost my husband very suddenly and have read the Option B letter several times. The hardest part I have experienced is finding meaningful hopes and dreams to replace the ones I lost. To the first person who said the felt the loss of being a good writer.

I feel SAME way. Any career loss you really wanted, goal or dream is hard. But if you decided not to. I hope you eventually have peace: I am lucky not to have had to face the pain of bereavement. But my life still feels on hold. I just want it to end. What are options after all? Lost dreams and hopes can lead one into a nightmare of living.

As a young girl I had hopes and dreams but they were destroyed. I dreamed of becoming a doctor or lawyer. I dreamed of becoming a writer or journalist and wanted to go to college. Dad told me I should try to be a secretary. I dreamed of becoming a musician or an artist.

Dad often told me I was stupid. I fought the good fight and tried to go to college when I was young…and as a certain stubborn streak still stayed with me I finally earned a useless college degree after the ripe age of We are all here for a limited time. We focus on those dreams and hopes and then grief for not obtaining them, bitterness for the blame, ans hurt for the hurting itself. Some people get lucky in life.

Hope's Wish: How One Girl's Dream Made Others Come True

Some are dealt with insurmountable odds…. I have to find a way to feel lucky and believe it. I have to find a way to let it go…those wasted years and opportunity. I could have been so much more if only…instead, I am this stupid clump of mass waiting on the ending of my fruitless life. Here I am in debt for that education I could have gotten for free if my father had only believed in me. He refused to sign and help fill out scholarship forms. Do we have any? Life should be about love and loving; and forgiving life for not loving you back.

My birthday is next week, it will mark the end of my 27th year, the year I lost my brother and the start of my 28th the year I will loose my mother. Thank you for sharing and for your website, I helps to feel less alone. A chance to get back on track with your goals and dreams. Let go of some old ones. A great thing indeed. For those days, when you need a little something to get you going, a reminder, inspiration, some encouraging words, I created this post.

Hope you enjoy it! If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavours to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours. Your visions will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes. Hope begins in the dark, the stubborn hope that if you just show up and try to do the right thing, the dawn will come. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world.

You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream. The best way to make your dreams come true is to wake up.

Hope never abandons you, you abandon it. I find hope in the darkest of days, and focus in the brightest. I do not judge the universe. Go for it now. The future is promised to no one. For those who dare to dream, there is a whole world to win. Every great dream begins with a dreamer. No dreamer is ever too small; no dream is ever too big. Miracles start to happen when you give as much energy to your dreams as you do to your fears. And the world will live as one. Be captain of your own ship and master of your own destiny. When you are at the end of your rope, tie a knot and hold on.

Never give up on what you really want to do. The person with big dreams is more powerful than one with all the facts. To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe. We dream to give ourselves hope. If you lose hope, somehow you lose the vitality that keeps life moving, you lose that courage to be, that quality that helps you go on in spite of it all. And so today I still have a dream. Not to dream boldly may turn out to be simply irresponsible. Hold fast to dreams, For if dreams die Life is a broken-winged bird, That cannot fly.

The Solanos have a big tv in their living room, and you often go over to watch movies. You nod, even though you think the wedding was kind of boring. But all the Princesses were there and Rhona looked incredible in her formal gown.

You watch it all again for the millionth time, impatiently sitting through the wedding part to get to the ball. When Rhona dances with her prince, time stops. You twirl around the ballroom, your feet not quite touching the floor, her hair flying behind you both in a trail of auburn curls. When you are seventeen, you work part-time in a bakery. Your alarm goes off at 5: It almost makes waking in the dark bearable. She says that it was her degree which got her the job she has now, assistant to a junior manager at a big firm downtown.

But you know your mother is right. Between school and the bakery, it feels like you work all the time, too. You get to the theater two hours early and still barely get in. The audience is mostly teens and college age women, a few boyfriends and just a smattering of guys there of their own accord. She enters the Great Hall to find a table groaning under a feast of delights. Being around such beautiful things is the main appeal of the job. You nod and shush her. Over the next ninety minutes, you are transported to a magic world that you can barely believe exists in the same universe as your own life.

Glorious silken gowns transformed from ordinary box-store dresses. Flying chariots whisking the princesses to fabulous balls or feasts laden with luscious food no one eats. Lives of glamour and leisure. For a moment, you wonder if it is even real. Everyone has been talking about the rumour that a new princess would be revealed in the film. Your breath catches in your throat when you see her for the first time.
