Day 9 ~  February 8 ~ Dreaming

Quotes
“Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world.” ~ Harriet Tubman

“There are those that look at things the way they are, and ask, 'Why?' I dream of things that never were, and ask 'Why not?'” ~ Robert F Kennedy


Reflection
When you let go of the probable and step boldly into the world of the possible, you are daring to dream. Today, dare to dream.
“The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.”
~ Eleanor Roosevelt

Affirmation
Today I take ownership of my own dream for peace and nonviolence.

Martin Luther King, Jr. had a great dream. What is your own dream for peace? What is one thing you can do to honour that dream?


Action for Teens
Dreaming is the first step to doing. Today, don’t only dream of peace. Live it.

Action for Children
Draw a picture or write a poem about your dream for peace.
 


"Don't be pushed by your problems, be led by your dreams."
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

Quotes
“If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.”
~ Henry David Thoreau

“I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed - we hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal.”
~ Martin Luther King Jr.
