Do you have a dream?

It's Inspiration Day here at The Journal. You all know I love inspirational quotes and often look for them online to include on my dayplanner. Something that resonates with the day or my tasks I want to accomplish. Last Friday while writing up my list of things that needed to be done (re-working a story for a contest, organizing my Surrey conference information, working - again - on one sheets and taglines, answering comments on the other blog - http://www.prairiechickswriteromance.blogspot.com/ - and walking on the beach) I went looking for a quote. I was feeling very overwhelmed. This is what I found:

"There is no telling how many miles you'll have to run while chasing a dream." Anonymous

My dream, everyone knows, is to be a published writer. And I know that it's hard work. This quote just reminds me that even though I have to run, inherently I will catch that dream. Not today, not tomorrow, but one day. And when that happens I'll need some new running shoes :)

What dreams do you chase? Is it a marathon or are you a weekend runner? What do you do when the finish line is so far off you can't even see it - how do you stay motivated?
