"The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams." ~Eleanor Roosevelt
This quote proves accurate and true in my eyes. As a successful woman herself, Roosevelt would have probably considered that this quote applied to her as well, even in her day. She may have said it as advice to a struggling family member or friend. The message is quite simple: As long as you keep believing and have faith in your dreams, the future shall be yours. But, though this quote seems elementary at a glance, I believe it implies a bit more meaning. Eleanor implies first to keep dreaming, and never give up on life. What nonsense would it be if Eleanor had advised this to someone, when they didn't have any hopes or dreams in the first place? Secondly, she implies that if you dare dream, you will probably get somewhere in life and maybe even become successful, like her.
Overall, Eleanor Roosevelt is one of a few people that truly inspire me. And this particular quote always reminds me not to give up and let myself down. Even on my worse days, I read through quotes like this one and it makes my day better. Just to know that I'm not the only one who feels this way about dreaming of the future is wonderful.
