Dreams quote by Christopher Reeve

"So many of our dreams at first seem impossible, then they seem improbable, and then, when we summon the will, they soon become inevitable"

About this Quote

Dreams often appear out of reach, almost fantastical, when first imagined. At their inception, they feel impossible because they are constrained by our current circumstances, resources, or self-doubt. We look at the gap between where we are and where we wish to be, and it seems too wide to leap. The impossibility is a reflection of the human tendency to underestimate both our inner capabilities and the potential for change in our surroundings.

As we entertain the dream longer and begin to inch toward it, impossibility gives way to improbability. Some progress is made, however small: perhaps ideas are shared with others, plans begin to take shape, or the first steps are tentatively taken. The dream is now on the radar, not yet likely, but not entirely fanciful either. It remains improbable because significant obstacles still stand in the way, but action and perseverance begin undermining the mental walls of doubt.

The real turning point comes with the exercise of will. By summoning determination, committing fully, and pushing forward despite setbacks, the dream is no longer viewed solely as a remote possibility. Willpower transforms the narrative and redirects energy, rallying resources, creativity, and support that might have remained untapped. One’s outlook shifts, and where there was hesitation, confidence grows. As work continues, breakthrough moments occur, sometimes unexpectedly, setting off a chain reaction.

With sustained effort, what once sounded impossible now gathers momentum, becoming not just possible, but seemingly destined. The inevitability described is not fate, but the cumulative power of will, persistence, and action, they render the achievement of the dream the logical conclusion to unwavering commitment. The journey from impossibility to inevitability underscores the transformative strength within each person. Human potential is unlocked not by waiting, but by actively willing dreams into reality.
