“Dreams are free. Goals have a cost. Time, effort, sacrifice, and sweat. How will you pay for your goals?” -Usain Bolt –
Usain St Leo Bolt, is a Jamaican former sprinter, widely considered the greatest sprinter of all time. He is a world record holder in the 100 meters, 200 meters and 4 × 100 meters relay.
How many of us dare to dream, and what are dreams? According to Sigmund Freud, dreams are the imagery of a wish or impulse from childhood that has since been repressed. This is why Freud studied dreams to understand the unconscious mind.
Therefore, according to Freud, your dreams reveal your repressed wishes to you, but I say, why not dream, and why not dream BIG! There are no limitations as to who you are and what you can accomplish in your dreams.
No one can tell you NO in your dreams. You are the creator. You can dream yourself to love, riches, and success. Some people have attributed the quote “If you can dream it, you can do it,” to Walt Disney, and whether he said it or not, what better example do you need than someone who took the imagery of a mouse and made that mouse into an international household celebrity with theme parks all over the world.
You have to set goals if you want the dream to become a reality; otherwise, you’re just a dreamer. Usain Bolt dreamed that he would be the number one sprinter in the world, and he accomplished it, but it wasn’t easy. It took time, commitment, and belief in himself and his abilities to get there.
Do you know what else it took? It took effort, sacrifice, and sweat. Sometimes you have to go to bed early, practice every day and say no to your friends who want to hang out on Saturday nights.
Yes, if you want to be the best at anything, you have to dream and dream BIG. You have to sacrifice your free time and put forth your best effort, especially if you want to be Number One!
