My name is Chris Stones.
I would be happy.
If I didn't dream.
I understand this much.
And yet I still push.
Or watch myself drift away from my dream.
But it will always be there.
I'll always dream.
Ambition doesn't make you happy.
It makes you suffer.
And realizing a dream never feels
as good as dreaming a dream.
Each day we take steps to or away
from our dreams.
A step towards can be a step away
from something else.
Even if it's painful.
I'm too stubborn to stop dreaming.
So I'll suffer for now.
The lesson?
Discipline comes with a price.
I agree entirely. The journey to my University Singers concert, all the practice and all the anticipation was so much better than the concert itself.
Dreaming isn’t what makes you suffer, dreaming is what gives you purpose in spite of suffering.
