Celebrate Make Your Dreams Come True Day
People often make the mistake of letting their dreams remain just that: dreams. Dreams they have at night but then neglect in the morning. Dreams they hardly dare speak of lest they don’t come true. Little bits of fantasy doomed to remain that way. But they don’t have to! Of course, there are some dreams, like becoming a neon flying tiger that fights crime with Batman every night, that will likely never come true.
But there are also thousands of dreams that are not early as impossible as we think them to be, and could be could, in fact, be fulfilled with a little planning and work, and sometimes just the courage to do something different than you have in the past.
“There are some people who live in a dream world, and there are some who face reality; and then there are those who turn one into the other.” – Douglas H. Everett
There are some people who chase their dreams every day. There are others who find it hard to chase their dreams. They doubt themselves. They worry that they will never be able to make their dreams come true. No matter what category you fall into, or if you are somewhere in the middle, Make Your Dreams Come True Day gives you the push you need to chase your dreams and make them a reality.
It does not matter how big or small your dreams are, all it takes is a bit of careful planning to get you to where you need to be. With proper planning, you can make your dreams come true – we promise! For those big goals, which seem almost impossible to attain, it is all about splitting up your dreams into smaller, more manageable goals. This will make your end goal more achievable, and it will also keep you motivated, as you will celebrate a lot of smaller wins along the way.
History of Make Your Dream Come True Day
Make Your Dreams Come True Day did not have just one founder, or just one founding date, either. Make Your Dream Come True Day is a day that came into existence as a result of the hard work and persistence of all of the people in this world who have been able to make their dream reality, from Bob Dylan, who composed music and lyrics based on his own dreams, to Mary Shelley, who wrote Dr. Frankenstein based on a nightmare she’d had, to James Cameron, whose masterpiece Avatar was also based on an incredibly colorful and detailed dream he’d had. Make Your Dream Come True Day honors all of these people and more wo have had the courage to pursue their dreams and make them a reality. As should you.

Pictures of the Day
Salmon P. Chase (January 13, 1808 – May 7, 1873) was an American politician and jurist who served as the sixth chief justice of the United States. He also served as the 23rd governor of Ohio and represented the state in the United States Senate. He served as the 25th secretary of the treasury, leading to his being featured on the last version of the U.S. $10,000 bill. He sought the Republican nomination for president in the 1860 presidential election, but the party chose Abraham Lincoln at the national convention. This line engraving of Chase was produced around 1902 by the Department of the Treasury's Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP) as part of a BEP presentation album of the first 42 secretaries of the treasury. |
