About This Quote

The character Charlie Brown from the popular comic strip, "Peanuts," has a dream that he can fly. In the dream, he is a bird soaring through the sky, soaring high above the clouds. It's just a dream, but there's something about it that he can't shake. Like Charlie Brown, we all have dreams for our lives.

The problem is that life doesn't allow us to fly beyond our dreams. There are too many things standing in the way. However, while we're here on Earth, there's no reason not to try to fly.

We've got good people around us who believe in us and want to help us. We can do amazing things when we put our minds to them and work hard enough at it. The only question is whether or not we'll try to rise above what's holding us down and give our dreams even a chance to happen.
