..the PURSUIT of a dream
05:23
Hi there,
it's been quite a while and I apologize. School hasn't given me so much of an option.
I was analyzing
myself some time ago and I realized that I had so many dreams, goals. There are
quite a number of things that I want to achieve. They are either in my head or
written somewhere. Today, I want to share with you some life lessons that I
have learnt in the pursuit of my dreams.
- You have to pursue your dreams.
One thing that I've
realized is that, it's very easy and
relaxing to dream or imagine. Everybody, ummm or maybe I should say I love that
feeling that dreaming brings because of course, my dreams are beautiful. I don't
know if anyone ever creates unhappy, scary dreams. Anyways, those warm feelings
that dreams bring don't ever last forever. You have to deliberately go past the
warm and fussy feelings and actually pursue your dreams.
I use word pursue because
sometimes, it seems like your dreams are so afar off, some other times it may
seem like your dreams are running away from you. But you don't have to give to
give either of those as reasons to quit your dreams, just let the passion of
your dreams drive you and pursue hard after it.
- Hold on to hope.
"Though rough may seem the way,
Our hopes must surely stay.
Holding it high will help you see,
The silver lining in every cloud"
This was one of the very
first poems I wrote and I haven't forgotten it in years. Pursuing my dreams
hasn't always been easy. There have been times that the way was pretty rough
but hope is one thing that has brought me through.
In pursuing dreams, you
must know that it's not always going to be easy, the road isn't always going to
be smooth. So, just make up your mind that no matter what happens in life, you're
going to keep your eyes on the goal, you're going to keep your hopes up.
- Keep your eyes on the goal.
With time, I have come to
realize that even as I pursue my dreams, a lot of other things crave for my
attention, a lot of distractions arise. It has to take a conscious effort to
keep focused on the dream, the goal. If we are not focused, we'll find out that
after a while we may even forget what the original dream was because we have
been distracted for so long.
Finally, in the words of Yolanda Adams,
"Keep the dream alive don't let it die. If something deep inside keeps inspiring you to try, don't stop. And never give up, don't ever give on you!"
