I've recently realized how important it is to have dreams! Me, I have to constantly set new goals for myself just or I'll fizzle out.

College is hard, and I often get the urge to give it up. But I have a dream, that I think I've mentioned before. I want to buy a big sailboat someday, one that will carry me around the world. I'd like even more to have the money (and time) to build this boat myself. So whenever school starts bearing down on me, I just have to keep my eye on the goal.

It's important to have short term goals too. Though I don't want to look for work this summer, I need to keep my eye on the goal - enough money to have a care free school year this fall!

If you don't have any goals or dreams, then come up with some! That way, when life gets you down, you can remind yourself of your goal and keep on fighting.
