Believe, Dream, Enhavim: Miracles Happen on 34th Street

In the classic holiday film Miracle on 34th Street, belief is the catalyst that turns the impossible into reality. This powerful theme mirrors the journey of turning dreams into tangible outcomes. Much like Susan’s shift from skepticism to belief, “Believe, Dream, Enhavim” reminds us that progress begins with faith in something greater than ourselves. By believing in our dreams, we lay the foundation for purposeful actions that lead to real results.

The concept of enhavim—focusing on a vision followed by purpose and mission —aligns with the message of Miracle on 34th Street. It encourages you to move beyond doubt and take intentional steps towards creating something meaningful. Just as miracles unfold in the film, your belief can act as the key that unlocks a world of possibilities and transforms dreams into a lasting legacy.

When you dream and use the power of belief, you open the door to greater opportunities. Every step taken with purpose fuels your mission, turning abstract aspirations into concrete achievements. Whether it’s building a business, pursuing a personal goal, or crafting a legacy, the power of belief and a clear vision—enhavim—creates the momentum necessary for success.

Just like the miracle on 34th Street, your belief can manifest remarkable change, creating a future where your dreams become a reality.

“From Dream to Enhavim” is where your dream must be fully believed by you, the creator, in order to turn aspirations into actionable steps and ultimately bring the dream you believe in into reality. Belief is more than just a passing thought; it is the foundation upon which dreams are transformed into tangible outcomes.

In Miracle on 34th Street,  1947 film edition (77th Anniversary in 2024) played by Maureen O’Hara (Doris), John Payne (Fred), Natalie Wood (Susan), a  department store Santa Claus says he’s the real Kris Kringle.

At the end of the film, Susan’s declaration, “I believe… I believe… It’s silly, but I believe,” illustrates how the act of believing creates the conditions for change, even in the face of doubt or skepticism. Susan’s belief doesn’t simply remain a quiet hope; it becomes a powerful force that influences the world around her. Her belief in the possibility of her wish being fulfilled leads to the manifestation of her dream—she finds the house she asked for, with a “for-sale” sign in front of it, with movie “proof” that her belief had power.

This concept closely aligns with the journey from dream to enhavim. It’s not enough to dream; belief is what drives the pursuit of turning that dream into something real. Without belief, the dream remains just that—an abstract wish, untouched by action. But once belief takes root, it becomes the driving force behind intentional action, creating the momentum needed to bring a vision into existence.

Much like Susan’s belief, your personal belief in your dream is what allows it to take shape, guiding you through obstacles and moments of doubt. This belief propels you to move forward, step by step, until the dream is no longer a fleeting thought, but a reality in the making. Belief doesn’t just influence the individual—it reshapes the path ahead, turning dreams into the tangible legacies that will last.

In the image below, Maureen O’Hara (Doris Walker) and Natalie Wood (Susan Walker) discuss “Kris Kringle” and Doris suggests to Susan to write him a letter to cheer him up.

Doris adds to Susan’s letter, “I believe in you too” illustrating how Doris has grown as a character, coming to believe in hope and miracles and not just common sense.

In one of the final scenes in the film Miracle on 34th Street, Susan (Natalie Wood) says, “I believe… I believe… It’s silly, but I believe”. Susan’s beliefs make a difference in the movie, and at the end, she sees the house she asked Santa for with a “for-sale” sign in front of it. Fred and Doris also find Santa’s cane by the fireplace, proving that he delivered the house.
