Letting Go Of A Dream

I saw a post on twitter today about letting your dreams die.  When I first saw it I thought ‘how horrible.’  And then I thought about it.  Isn’t a dream just a plan, a roadmap, something to propel us forward and achieve? 

I have been very entrenched in certain dreams.  And there is a ton of information and resources out there about how to pursue them and not let them go.  But I wonder if that is appropriate.  I am starting to believe not.  How can my dream of ten years ago not need reshaped?  We do not live in a static world so don’t I need to honor and treat my dreams in the same manner I do everything else?  More importantly isn’t a dream something composed of multiple efforts building into one?  That is to say, haven’t I accomplished part of my dream by working towards it?

I don’t think I am alone in the fact that sometimes I ‘dig in.’  But here is the thing…it doesn’t really serve us to focus so intently at the bugs on the windshield rather than the road ahead, now does it.
