Hold fast to dreams
For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird
That cannot fly.

Hold fast to dreams
For when dreams go
Life is barren field
Frozen with snow.

Dreams, by Langston Hughes.

This is one of my favorite poems; it's like my mantra. Whenever I start to doubt my goals, my aim in life, my beliefs, my dreams, I quickly recite this in my head and it puts things back in perspective. Short and simple, and so true.

Just remember, a human being with no dreams is a mere vessel taking up space on this planet.
