The line "I have a dream" became popular after Martin Luther King's iconic speech on abolishing slavery. It is something that most of us say verbally or internally to motivate ourselves. Dreams are, after all, the fuel that makes us more than just a lump of flesh; they provide the impetus for us to achieve something in life.

I saw a movie called True Spirits recently, about an Australian teenager who circumnavigated the world all alone, achieving something that even experienced sailors would find difficult.

My husband, who was in the navy earlier, was highly impressed by her bravery. When lauded by the Australian prime minister for her heroism, she revealed that she was able to do it because she never gave up on her dream. This made me think about the power of dreams and their potential to change our lives and, yes, the world too.

Let us learn more about the dreams of some incredible dreamers who dreamt and achieved their dreams, all connected it happened no matter what others said. They within to find their path, even if to be out of the ordinary.

The power of dreams

Dreams pull you towards something bigger than you and motivate you toward it. They never let you relax till you do something about it, in one way or another. They are usually about challenges or obstacles, but you become stronger only by working on them. Just as the physical body needs food, your mind and spirit need dreams as nourishment for you to grow further.
