"Life is rooted in reality, not in your thoughts and emotions."-Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev
People have varying views on how valuable dreams are, so how important do you think dreams are in your life? What steps are you taking to pursue your ambitions?]]> 2019-01-29 01:38:56 UTC https://padlet.com/20brantm/5hrxiyrfg0d7/wish/325212485 20lewandowskij https://padlet.com/20brantm/5hrxiyrfg0d7/wish/326777427 I agree with the second quote. Facts do not care about your feelings. Valuable time is wasted on the intangible, more than what ought to be. This is not to say that I am not ambitious or that people ought not to be ambitious. Ambition involves the seizure of tangible opportunities, not dreams. Dreams as a motivator I suppose are useful, but the majority are fruitless. #Lewandowski2020]]> 2019-02-01 16:58:09 UTC https://padlet.com/20brantm/5hrxiyrfg0d7/wish/326777427 20chamberlinm https://padlet.com/20brantm/5hrxiyrfg0d7/wish/326777486 To dream is to aspire to change, and without dream there would be no change. There would be no become, rather stagnation. Without a goal, it is impossible to realize that goal. Dreams and the capacity to develop them are what have propelled human advancement thus far. In my life I continue to dream, in hopes of becoming the best version.  ]]> 2019-02-01 16:58:16 UTC https://padlet.com/20brantm/5hrxiyrfg0d7/wish/326777486 https://padlet.com/20brantm/5hrxiyrfg0d7/wish/326777542 Dreams are essentially a goal people have to pursue their interests and create a better future for themselves. For me personally, I feel a dream does have an importance as it is something that I am willing to work hard for in order to achieve something that could create a better life for me. In order to achieve my current ambitions, I am challenging myself to work harder and put more effort into the little things in life, since most things may have an impact on the future. ]]> 2019-02-01 16:58:25 UTC https://padlet.com/20brantm/5hrxiyrfg0d7/wish/326777542 20steinoure https://padlet.com/20brantm/5hrxiyrfg0d7/wish/326777567 Dreams are very important in my life, and I believe that they are important in everyone's lives. Dreams allow us to escape the reality we currently live in by challenging us to think of a world we find more appealing to our desires. However, I believe every day life can greatly impact the strength you feel you have in order to obtain your dream. I agree with the first quote which expresses that you should always follow your dreams and chase what your heart desires no matter what the consequences may be. In order to pursue my ambitions, I am attempting to do well in school and work hard everyday. ]]> 2019-02-01 16:58:28 UTC https://padlet.com/20brantm/5hrxiyrfg0d7/wish/326777567 alr2 https://padlet.com/20brantm/5hrxiyrfg0d7/wish/326777760 Thanks for a thought-provoking prompt with the two contradictory quotes. Ideally people's dreams would in fact become their reality, but this is very often not the case. It seems most logical to say that success requires a healthy balance of both dreams and reality. At this point in my life, I am more aware than ever of how much work and perseverance it takes to accomplish any worthwhile dream. Believing in your dream is the first step though. Without that belief, what's the point? ]]> 2019-02-01 16:58:54 UTC https://padlet.com/20brantm/5hrxiyrfg0d7/wish/326777760 https://padlet.com/20brantm/5hrxiyrfg0d7/wish/326777819 I resonate with the quote by Jennifer Lee because if you are not pursuing a passion, then where are you deriving your motivation from? I believe that dreams and aspirations are the fuel for our actions during our lives, and that without such dreams there is no motivation to do what you are doing. This is especially so if you pursue a job that you do not enjoy. How fulfilling is the role that you play if you believe you're playing the wrong part? To pursue my ambitions, I strive to do well in school to better suit me for a continued education that allows for the career I want to have. ]]> 2019-02-01 16:58:59 UTC https://padlet.com/20brantm/5hrxiyrfg0d7/wish/326777819 20fertichc https://padlet.com/20brantm/5hrxiyrfg0d7/wish/326778017 Dreams are what motivate you to be the best that you can be. Without having a dream, you will never hope to become something more. I agree with the first quote, but I do acknowledge that the second quote has some merit. To a certain extent, your life has to be kept in check by reality and you can't let your emotions entirely dictate your life choices. But ultimately, hold close to a dream to pursue. The Wright brothers created the first airplane. Many people told them their dream was impossible and unrealistic, and yet they succeeded. In my life, my dreams are extremely important to me. They give me the motivation to try hard in school, to train for sports, and to spend time with family. I need my dreams to live.]]> 2019-02-01 16:59:22 UTC https://padlet.com/20brantm/5hrxiyrfg0d7/wish/326778017 https://padlet.com/20brantm/5hrxiyrfg0d7/wish/326778236 Personally, I do not dwell on dreams that I have for any kinda of advice or deeper meanings. I feel I should already know my passions and desires without the need of a dream. There are some people who say that dreams reveal hidden secrets of your life, but I do not see it this way. If something shows up in your dreams, you should not make it your goal to pursue it unless you have thought about the reality of it all. Reason needs to be applied in a deeper state of mind that can only be found while being awake and fully conscious. To pursue my goals, I put the needed work in and do what I need to do, but I make sure to reevaluate goals in order to make them stronger and more realistic. ]]> 2019-02-01 16:59:40 UTC https://padlet.com/20brantm/5hrxiyrfg0d7/wish/326778236 https://padlet.com/20brantm/5hrxiyrfg0d7/wish/326778320 I agree with both quotes. Not completely, but I agree with the messages they are trying to convey. Dreams motivate many to try to reach their goals, whether that be a certain job or life style. However I also agree that life is to be completed in reality. One cannot simply dream to be something and that thing will magically appear. Hard-work is essentially. I believe a combination of the two would be most beneficial, hard-work combined with dreams can lead to wonderful outcomes. I am doing what most people my age are doing to pursue my ambitions. I go to school to further my education, and after that I plan to go to college.]]> 2019-02-01 16:59:50 UTC https://padlet.com/20brantm/5hrxiyrfg0d7/wish/326778320 20mancusob1 https://padlet.com/20brantm/5hrxiyrfg0d7/wish/326778328 I believe that dreams are extremely important in one's life. Dreams provoke hope, and hope is what keeps up going through life. The quote by Jennifer Lee especially stands out to me because it shows that when one has a compassion, do everything you can to be successful.  However, as you get older, it becomes evident that your dreams start to become more realistic, but we should keep dreaming of doing something extraordinary. To pursue my ambitions, hard work, determination, and striving for success is what helps me. Even though I have unrealistic and realistic dreams, I have a passion for them and I will keep working until they're achieved. ]]> 2019-02-01 16:59:51 UTC https://padlet.com/20brantm/5hrxiyrfg0d7/wish/326778328 20taylorm https://padlet.com/20brantm/5hrxiyrfg0d7/wish/326778706 Before you achieve something, you must dream it first. I believe an essential part of living thrives off the idea that we can create anything we set our minds to. Dreaming requires bravery and patience, which is shown in the first quote by Jennifer Lee. I hope to keep dreaming as I do now for it gives me an endless source of motivation. I strive to attend a nice college and continue my studies abroad. ]]> 2019-02-01 17:00:32 UTC https://padlet.com/20brantm/5hrxiyrfg0d7/wish/326778706
