Dumbledore, who is a wizard with the wisdom of his 200 years, enlightens us throughout the Harry Potter adventure. Interesting to think a 30 year old woman put all those words in his mouth. Obviously Jo, who is wise beyond her years, figured a few things out on her own.
Well if you’re going to dream, you might as well dream big. Why have reasonable dreams or realistic dreams? Where is the fun in that? Let’s be sure not to get confused with wishing. Wishing is the passive, sitting on the porch, watch a shooting star go by, hoping that, with no effort on your part whatsoever, things will happen. That is as likely as winning the lottery when you never buy a ticket. Those are the “dreams” that distract us from really living. Our respected headmaster is urging us to move beyond our fantasies. He know they are kind of like the excuses and justifications we were talking about yesterday. Another form of evil distraction* disguised as desire. Wishing is superficial. Dreaming comes from deep within. It can take us on a journey we could not have imagined. Go ahead and dream, but live your dream or you may find your life vaporous.
Dreams that are fueled with passion and drive us to overcome all obstacles are the things the best stories are made of. Dream, be passionate and write the amazing story of your own life!
Namaste!
