There is a saying, "Lose your dreams and you will lose your mind". Well, this happens to all of us thousands of times in a lifetime to a greater or lessor degree.
One of the most beautiful and amazing things about being a human being for me is the capacity to lose ones dreams and then create new ones. Remember as a child how many things you wanted you didn't get? Did you Die? No. You cried a while and then you found something new to dream about. I ask you to consider is being an adult any different really? We may get more attached to our dreams as an adult but aren't we all still at core that ten year old whose dreams were broken only with a little more experience and a little more armor and layers on us than that 10 year old we once were?
I think of myself as a ten year old with a whole lot of armor and experience a lot of the time. Most of the time it is just the good old college bluff that gets me through. The same thing that wins football games or gets the girl in high school or college is what gets us through another day when we are 30,40,50,60 etc. Remembering this we become a little less brittle with age and stay adaptable. For in this world I think we all agree it is: "Adapt or DIE".
