Hello, Potterheads!
Sorry to disappoint you all, but yet again, I have to disagree with the almighty Dumbledore.
Sometimes it is better to focus more on dreams than your life. Sometimes.
Say you dream of being a musician. You need to hold on to the passion that that dream holds, otherwise you might fail. Your dreams won't come true, and you will be stuck in a small town in the Midwest with neighbors that raise roosters in their backyards. That isn't fun, and you might be unhappy for the rest of your life, dreaming of what could have been.
And in my opinion, you will be able to forgive yourself for things that you actually did, but you will never be able to forgive yourself for the things that you didn't do.
You can't go back in time and do things that you didn't, and you'll always be stuck wondering about the what ifs. But if you did do something that you regret, you know what would have happened.
So in some cases, it is better to concentrate so hard on your dreams, because they are your being. They are your life. And they are what keeps you holding on.
If your dreams are about unicorns and ponies, yes, I could see what Dumbledore means by this. Stop thinking about the ponies. Put the pony down. Focus on what is actually happening.
But if you dream of something substantial and different for your life, then you need to focus on that. You need to dwell on that so you don't lose that passion.
Until next time, Potterheads!
