Dreams, hopes, wishes or aspirations can be very useful 'bigger picture' kind of ideas that inspire and motivate him/her, and function a bit like a lighthouse that guides a ship in the right direction. Even with carefully chosen small goals as stepping stones towards a bigger important goal, it can sometimes be very hard to gain and keep up momentum. It may be hard to keep in mind the reasons why the patient are doing all of this work and it is easy for obstacles to trip he/she up.
