One of the best phrases I've heard in the longest time was on Game of Thrones this past weekend when Daenerys {one of the female characters} told some one "I am no ordinary woman... my dreams come true". I haven't heard anything more powerful in the longest time because there is not denial that she know where she's going and how she is going to get there.
One of the dreams I never pursued was being a ballerina but whenever I see a presentation I fulfill that dream in some sort of way. This video talks about perseverance, and how discipline and the love for what you do help you achieve those dreams so dear to your heart.
Another dream was always to be a surfer girl... I come from a place where surfing and those that practice the sport are seem as the coolest people around maybe because of that free spirit lifestyle they live, the sun and those amazing waves in their hair.
No matter what your dream is... pursue it fearlessly and with passion because they do come true to those that believe in them with blind faith.
Dreams are what life´s made of! :-)
ReplyDeleteGame of thrones is such a goooooood show :D SO SO SO Good :)
ReplyDeleteElie, I'm with you, that is such a powerful line. I've written it down and I have a feeling it'll be all over my office space tomorrow! And congratulations to your sister. I've had Fournier bookmarked since you mentioned it on your blog ages ago, for 'one day' when I have a little one. The pieces are so beautiful <3
ReplyDeleteLovely post! That is truly an inspirational quote - yes dreams do come true, and I have plenty!! :) Keep on dreaming...and believing..that one day, the dream that you wish, will come true!! xo

ReplyDeleteWow, yes that is a powerful statement. I'd like that on a tshirt or even a poster.
ReplyDeleteStill haven't seen that show, my daughter is reading the books and loves them.
Beautiful post! That is such a powerful statement and I love that you wanted to be a ballerina. I've always wanted to be a surfer girl, not just for the ability to surf but also the lifestyle they lead.

Ahh, you're a Game of Thrones fan- I'm obsessed with that show. It's the only program during the week that I must watch live (rather than DVR it and watch later).
ReplyDeleteI love Daenerys- and her motto about making your dreams come true is a good one to follow. :)

Funny, I've had the same exact dreams too, but the classical soprano won out in the end. I still study ballet though-can't get enough of it after 12 years. And Chris has been teaching me to surf, so I guess even though I'll never go pro, I still got to live out some of my dreams!
ReplyDeleteCongrats to your sister, that is amazing! And what an inspiring message for the day...I love that first quote about not being an ordinary woman (c;
ReplyDeleteWhat an uplifting post and congrats to your sister!
ReplyDeleteI love this post. I am bookmarking it. And, i love the videos. It was my dream for so long to be a surfer. I grew up in Boston, so once I moved to the west coast, I took surf lessons and had to make it happen. Now i love it and so happy i followed through with it.

I was from a surf beach but the boy surfers were so mean back then I didn't dare to venture out. Wish I had been stronger.

I have no doubt that you are one of those extraordinary women and that any dream you have will most definitely come true, Elie.
ReplyDeletei always wanted to be a ballerina too! i took lessons everyday when i was growing up. but then i realized i would never be skinny enough so i gave up the dream!

I love these rehearsal interviews of the ballerinas (Wendy Whelan and Ashley Bouder are amazing dancers). And I can totally relate to their experiences, even if I'm nowhere near their elite levels! Do you know you can still dance ballet? There are many adult ballet classes all over for people who love the art form, some with previous experience and many without. So you can still pursue your dream! -- J xx
