Climb ‘Til Your Dream Comes True

As students many of us are here in pursuit of our dreams in life but some of us may give up when the going gets tough and the challenges seem impossible, but faith in our hearts is the fuel that will propel us through the challenges we face in life prior to realizing our dreams. According to Helen Steiner Rice a well-known poet, faith is a force that is greater than knowledge or power or skill and many defeats turn to triumph if you trust in God’s wisdom and will.

On the journey towards our dreams the road may be tough and many of us will be faced with many tasks more than we can bear; challenges like working to support ourselves, raising children in addition to the course workloads may be very daunting and impossible and many may give up their dreams. But always remember the hills ahead are never as steep as they seem and with faith in our hearts and believe in ourselves we can climb until we reach our dreams.

I remembered when my husband was preparing for pharmacy school he was a fulltime student, working for 12 hours a day, taking care of the household expenses, and he barely got 5 hours of sleep a day but despite the challenges he never gave up his dream of becoming a pharmacist. He was relentless in his pursuit of his dream through believe in himself and faith in God; and now he is a practicing pharmacist.

As many of us are pursuing our dreams we may be confronted with many challenges, which may abort our dreams if we give up, but see challenges as opportunities in disguise. Remember challenges are designed to strengthened us for the tasks ahead. Do not give up your dreams when the going gets tough and the hills ahead seem too steep to climb but remember faith is the vehicle that will catapult us through the challenges prior to realizing our dreams.
