Never be limited by the small dreams others have for you.*
Bernadette Jiwa

It’s easy to gather the options.
It’s hard to choose one and commit.**
Gabe Anderson

The dreams others have for us
will always be smaller than those we have for ourselves
because these designs lack our talents, our attention to energy, our values.

Having said that, our dreams, once identified, need to become smaller, packaged in detail –
They must fit into today in a multiplicity of iterations of those same abilities, energies and life-goals –
Because a dream is not for the future or for hanging on the wall.

^I doodled today’s image in a small Mindful Doodling group I was leading in the past week at the University of Central Lancashire; I’ve included a good quality (vectorised) copy for you to print off if you want to add your own colours. Of course, the best thing would be to create your own doodle. Have fun.
