A peek into
the story behind the success, fame, money or happiness of any man or woman
reveals a single passionate and magical propeller – The Dream!
Dream is what keeps one alive, dream is
what makes one lose sleep & achieve and dream is what makes one feel not
just successful but also self-fulfilled and in-sync with her being.
We all survive the span of a lifetime; a
few short, others a little longer. However not many of us really live our lives
how we once dreamed to and not many of us depart happily with a contented
feeling of having lived life wholeheartedly or atleast having done all to
pursue our dreams and our passions.
At the end of it most people are known
to have more regrets for having NOT done what they desired to than for having
done the things they did in their lives.
As Allan Rufus puts it, “Life is like a
sandwich! Birth as one slice and death the other. What you put in between the slices
is upto you. Is your sandwich tasty or sour?”
Life is indeed what we make it! We can
fill it with our huffed-puffed days or line it with ecstatic moments
experienced only when we do what we WANT to do and work towards fulfilling our
personal desires and dreams!
Most often we get so engrossed in our
daily routines and making the ends meet that the DREAMS WORTH LIVING are left
far behind! Then there is not much left in our lives when we cease to dream!
So… DREAM! And dream BIG! Revive your
dreams and paint new ones! And then… Chase Your Dreams!
Set up goals and work towards those on a
daily basis and soon enough you will be living your dreams!
Don’t be afraid of failure. Don’t be
afraid of obstacles which might come across and don’t be afraid of sarcasm or
criticism which you might have to face.
Just work insanely towards living your
dream! Keep the fire burning within you and when you feel the flame go low fuel
the fire by envisioning your destination. Imagine how it would feel to be there… exactly where you want to be!
Live that moment in your imagination and
let it feel real. Let the ecstasy of the dream-come-true-feel run all over you
and energize you to do better than the best. That is when work will feel like
play.
And then there will be no stopping you
from Living Your Dream!
You have to dream before your dreams can come true.
