Putting dreams into motion.
At the Moco Museum in Amsterdam, I was captivated by this work by Icy & Sot.
A child balancing on his dreams. Next to it, the famous quote by Walt Disney: “If you can dream it, you can do it.”
The accompanying text says: Children simply dream. The sky is the limit.
The older we get, the more “sensible” our goals are supposed to be. Dreaming quickly feels naive or even threatening.
Because a free spirit thinks things that are not certain.
But that is precisely what is a resource.
At the turn of the year, we are easily tempted to plan instead of dream:
Resolutions, goals, lists. New perfection mode.
That's why I asked myself these questions this year:
What dreams accompanied me in 2025?
Which dreams have remained?
Which ones can go?
And above all:
Which dream can grow bigger again in 2026?
The child in the picture doesn't know if it might stumble. It doesn't have a finished plan.
But it is on its way, carried by its dreams.
Which dream will you give (more) space to in 2026?
