My understanding of this book, to simply put, is that we should always pursue our dreams. Our dreams keep us going, and reminders that they can become our reality if we actively seek to make them as such.
The boy is learning this on his journey. He is learning to listen to God, his heart, the world — when we truly listen, we will radiate confidence, continue to adventure, and strive to make the best of our lives, and in turn, in others.
