little Dreams, small Goals, and tiny Hopes
you should crave for nothing more
this will grant you happiness, this will offer peace
There is no such thing as disappointment
or discontentment, or displeasure, or dissatisfaction
when you acquire only
little Dreams, small Goals, and tiny Hopes
When you desire only
such things that are within arm’s reach
or near-sighted view
Nothing is a let-down
It can all be done reasonably
And stress will only be something you witness
In the lives of others, others who crave more than
little Dreams, small Goals, and tiny Hopes
Poor romantics
And visionaries
And idealists
Their days must be spent
Thinking of all the ends they will never cross
Fantasizing of all they long for...
I warned them, I tried to help them
“little Dreams, small Goals, and tiny Hopes!”
Yet some did not listen
Now look where they are,
Witness what they have become
Nothing less
Than
Great Dreamers,Enormous Achievers,and Vast Seekers
Nothing less
Than
Creators, makers and originators
Desiring, doing and obtaining
Poor ones, who just won't stop
Those who just could not listen
To the advice
from a little Dreamer
They must be miserable…

"I wish I had smaller goals. Little dreams. Small hopes. I wish I didn’t want so much.
Then, life would be easier. When you want something so big, so rare, and your chances are so slim, you live your life slumping around depressed and unmotivated to make it happen.
This is me. But how terrible would the world be if people didn't dream big? How ******* pathetic would that be? I still don't know which is better: to set realistic goals or dream as though anything is possible. They both have downsides."
My journal entry above inspired "little Dreams." I was having a hard time figuring out which side I was on, so I wrote a poem to clear-up my view.
