Kids may dream big, about becoming astronauts, doctors, artists, athletes, teachers or even scientists, but some just want to get really good at something they enjoy. Yet, as they grow, kids may begin to doubt themselves or think that the dream is unattainable. But Walt Disney’s quote is a wonderful reminder that “All our dreams can come true if we have the courage to pursue them.”The quote is a message to kids that they should never lose hope or faith in their dreams no matter how impossible they seem because they can come true if the person has the courage to pursue them.
Believe in your dreams
To achieve a dream there must be a beginning, which often is a thought or idea that comes from somewhere. A kid that dreamed of football could have started by liking the sport, a kid that dreamed of writing could have written something down, and a kid that dreamed of becoming a scientist may have been interested in studying the world. It is never a bad thing to have a dream that seems unachievable because it gives the kid something to aspire for.However, believing in your dreams do not mean that the dream will come true right away or without any setbacks or difficulties and that is where courage comes in. Courage does not mean to be fearless, but to have the ability to pursue your dream despite being afraid of failure.
Do not be afraid of failure
The main reason why kids sometimes give up on pursuing their dreams is because of failure and the fear of what their friends, family or teachers might think of them if they do.But failure can help kids achieve their dreams, for example, when a kid fails to solve a problem in maths they can try again, if they lose in a sports match they can learn from their mistakes and try again, and if they fail to perform well or look nice in a certain activity like drawing, writing or singing they can keep trying until they get it right the next time.If anything, kids should ask themselves “What can I learn if I try?” instead of “What will happen if I fail?” Make your dreams come true by turning them into smaller goals Sometimes the best way to achieve a dream is to focus on smaller goals.If you want to be a great singer you practice, if you want to be a great athlete you train and if you want to be a great student you study. Although these goals may seem unimportant, they help lead the kid towards achieving their bigger goal.Kids should also remember that each person goes on their own path and journey so just because someone else may achieve their goal before another person does not mean they are better than them, it just means that they have taken a different route along the way and should not be upset with themselves if someone achieves something bigger before they do.Also read:Quote of the day by Ram Dass: “The most exquisite paradox… as soon as you give it all up, you can have it all…” What does the Harvard psychologist advise on stop chasing and start livingQuote of the day by Sadhguru: “If you want to explore the deepest dimensions of life playfully, you need a heart full…”; What does the yogi advise on making love, joy and energy drivers of daily lifeIn summary, Walt Disney’s quote “All our dreams can come true if we have the courage to pursue them” is really a message to kids that if they want to achieve their dreams they should not be afraid to start because all dreams can come true if the person has the courage to pursue them. So, whenever you have a dream, just have courage and believe in yourself and your ability to achieve it despite any setbacks or failures that might come your way.
