I was giving a motivational talk about dreams. A young student asked me this "I want to be an excellent mother, is that a dream?" "Absolutely" I replied, "It's an awesome dream!"

Look up at those dreams, goals or plans that you may have shelved for whatever reason and say this: " ...you survive, you stay alive, no matter what occurs, I will find you, no matter how long it takes, no matter how far, I will find you." (Daniel Day Lewis, The Last of the Mohicans)
