To follow or chase something you want, such as a person, goal, or activity, usually with effort over time.
From Old French *pursuir* ('to follow, chase'), from Latin *prosequi* meaning 'to follow after'. It originally meant literally chasing, then widened to include goals and dreams.
Pursue is what you do with long‑term goals: you don’t just want them, you chase them. The word reminds you that big dreams are usually less about inspiration and more about persistent following.
