The problem with dreams is that they are always futuristic and gives a deceptive impression that there is still enough time to actualize them. The tragedy, however, is that you soon realize that the time you thought you had to fulfill the dreams had melted away before your very eyes. Sunday Adelaja
About This Quote

Dreams of a different life can be very appealing and even exciting. The problem is that we seem to think we have all the time in the world to accomplish our dreams and still go to work and pay bills and all the other things we have to do. But, as you get older, you realize that your time is limited. Dreams are something you have to make a decision about as soon as you see them coming up.

You can either go with them or fight them, but they will almost always slip away from you as the years go by. For example, if Jimmy Stewart had taken up a job at an oil refinery, he might have made it a point to have his wife stop watching those movies about escaping from a Nazi concentration camp during World War II.
