About This Quote

This quote is mainly about the reality of dreams. It speaks of the reality of being able to have a dream and to finally become that dream. It’s a quote that helps you realize your dream. It’s a quote that says even if you don’t succeed the first time, the second time will be better.

This is a true story. I used to dream of becoming a singer and an actress. The first time I came close, I gave up because it seemed impossible.

I didn’t know what was holding me back from that dream, but after some time passed, I realized that people hold us back from achieving our dreams by saying we can’t do it because we aren’t good enough or because we are too young. Now I am doing what I want to do and it is through persistence that I have accomplished my goals.
