Has anybody fulfilled their dreams?

Answer 1

Yes English Rose... many times and am still in the process of making new ones come true. When I have a dream I would like to accomplish then I create a plan to make it so. Most things are doable if I have a plan of action. My dreams are things I want to accomplish and have to be possible in the world I live in. Some are very large dreams and sound difficult to do until I decided that whatever I wanted usually came true if I just worked at it one step at a time. Some don't come true but here is a pearl of wisdom for you.(It is the quest of dreams that make life grand not necessarily completing them)

Very little happens just because I wish it would come true. I had to make my dreams real by making up my mind it was something I wanted to work for. The level of effort I expended in their fulfillment made their completion that much more satisfying.

Some of my past dreams:
Learned to speak German, Spanish, Hungarian, Russian
Learned to write computer software
Completed college and pharmacy school
Went into business for myself
Learned to fly an airplane.
Built an airplane from aluminum and made the first flight in it.
Traveled to every state in the USA
Traveled to Europe, Africa, South America, Central America
Hiked the Inca trail in Peru to the lost city of Machu Piccu.
Fathered and raised 3 lovely children to adulthood.
Flew an open cockpit untra-light airplane from Nicaragua to the Colombian border down the Pacific Coast.

Some of my present dreams:
Happily married for 30 years to the same woman.
Maintained my health in great condition
Rebuilt an airplane that was 57 years old over the last 2 years and made it new again...its first flight was this Christmas Day : D
Own an airport in my back yard.
Learned to ride a motorcycle this summer.
Do toys for tots in a poor South American village for 150 children

Some of my dreams for the near future:
March 2007 ... ride route 66 from Chicago to Los Angeles on my motorcycle with a neighbor.
March 2008 .. fly the airplane I just completed to Patagonia in southern Argentina at the Straits of Magellan.

I am sure before I complete my list of things to do, there will be another 10 to 15 new ones added to the list. I hope I NEVER complete the list but I hope I always have the energy and determination to work at completing the next one on my list.

The same is true for resolving problems that make life difficult.... One step at a time.

God really has absolutely nothing to do with what you're talking about. If you're entirely serious about everything I've just read about in your question, you may be what doctors like to call "extremely mentally unstable". I would talk to a councilor or a doctor or a family member, and do your best to open up and forget about the dream's literal meaning to you. You are right though, it takes a lot of care and a lot of love to give life to that many people, and that, my friend, is something that one man simply CANNOT DO. You cannot be there for hundreds of children. Heck, ten would be exhausting. It's silly, and semi-frightening that you would even think seriously about making this dream come true. God has absolutely nothing to do with your free will, and whatever you choose to do with your life is mainly just something you've left behind to influence(positively or negatively-in your case probably negatively) other people's lives by things that you have done or left behind. If there were a god, and giving life was god's power, then you would actually be exhibiting a "god-like omnipotence" (thinking you're a god) that makes you think you can handle multitudes more than you actually can. In either case I'd really, really, for the sake of hundreds of children, rethink your strategy and see a psychiatrist. Adopt a bunch of starving overseas kids, they need it, and they're already born! Think of the reasons that we have hundreds of thousands of starving children, and think to yourself, "Do I really need to create more?".

Answer 3

Some of them, I will always have dreams though, because it gives you something to hope for. If I get the girl of my dreams, then I will look for the dream job, then the dream car, and so on. Never stop believing in your dreams.

Answer 4

I think people get confused about dreams and goals.

Dreams are your wonders in what you wanted the world to be, they are considered long term approaches to life as you make your way in life as they are not really specific.

Goals are specific as the things that you must put some measurement tangible results to them.

As for me, yes, learning to speak very clearly when I am hearing impaired is a good goal for me.

Answer 6

You should look up the theory of self-actualization. I guess you can say it is what you seek.

Don't let your dreams be dreams...

Answer 7

Yes, and it always involved doing something even though I was scared s***less. Such great satisfaction on this side....

Answer 8

Sure, lots of times.
Then you move on to new dreams.
That's how dreams work.
