Do dreams die?

I was thinking about the love I have for my dreams and passions, and a tinge of negativity had me scared for a while. I imagined a life without my dreams and saw hopelessness alone. I imagined living life without my passions and life lost meaning. Why would I want to live a life devoid of the reasons I live?

I then asked myself if it was possible to kill my dreams.

Dreams are embryos of success; nurture and protect them. A dream’s inception occurs when desire and opportunity fuse; we see opportunities to be someone that match with our capabilities, and we dream.

Many things and many people tried to kill my life-loving spirit and the dreams it makes. Some even came dangerously close to doing so, but in every attack, my dreams became more and more defined. Each time someone rubbed me up the wrong way, my dreams appeared clearer like when a surface is polished. My dreams shone brighter amid the darkness of people’s discouragement.

This is when it dawned on me. Dreams only die when you kill them. Only you can kill your dreams, and no one else has the power to. People can only say and do things, in attempts to influence you to kill your own dreams.
