I think everyone has dreams, big and small it doesn’t matter because it’s yours to begin with. You don’t need to care about what others might say about it. It’s your dream and they can’t take it away from you as long as you continue to believe in yourself and never give up on your dreams. You will always hold the most important piece of the puzzle and only you can answer the questions that plague your mind, questions like when and how? Come to think of it, questions like these never really bothered us when we were kids, so what changed?
I remember when I was younger my family would spend summer vacation in an island. We would take a quick boat ride across the sea to visit aunts, uncles and cousins where we would indulge in endless conversations and feast on simple meals. But one distinct habit we share during our vacation is dreaming and we dream big. Where we would all slip under the shade of an old Acacia tree overlooking the shore and simply blurt out what we want to be and the many different things we want to have.
Sky’s
the Limit
Like most kids, my cousins,
siblings and I dreamt of many things. From fairy dusts to sand castles and magical
things, we all went crazy for new clothes and fun toys and delicious food or even
treasures. It didn’t bother us even if it were make believe. It didn’t bother
us to worry about when or how we would get them even if it made us look ridiculous.
We just kept going, we dreamt and dreamt and dreamt on! When we were young it
was sky’s the limit and there were no small or big dreams, all we wanted was to
keep on dreaming.
As kids I think
everyone had that distinctly rebellious passion for dreams where we wouldn’t
care what others may say not even what our parents would say sometimes. Even if
what we wanted to do was dangerous, we looked passed it and did it anyway. Even
if it may seem like it’s impossible we got out of our way and did it anyway.
Even if we ended up embarrassing ourselves, we did it anyway!
Find
Your Passion
Perhaps that is exactly
what we need in our young lives once more – Passion! Growing up has so many
exciting things but coupled with it are bigger responsibilities and
overwhelming independence. And it’s a normal thing really and I am sure many of
us never stopped dreaming even if chaos and confusion greet us everyday. A fast
paced lifestyle can be exhilarating and taking on multiple tasks pumps up
adrenaline. But these days, I think a lot of us do things focusing mainly on
money and other things because we just have to. Everything seems like a chore, a routine.
Reasons may be valid
but still, they do not seem to leave any room anymore for things that we really are passionate about. Ask yourselves
this, when was the last time that you did something simply because you love it?
If it’s been a while then the right time is now. It's time to find your passion, ignite that passion and start
living your dreams! We can all say to ourselves and even take pride that we
never stopped dreaming. Or that we continue to hold on to our dreams but what
of those dreams?
Make it Happen
A person who dream and
continue to dream of great things for himself and others has the power to make
it happen! Rekindling your passion is only the beginning and it will open many
great opportunities. You just need to affirm to yourself the things that you
want and take action. Dreams have more worth when they stop being your source
of hope and aspirations and become a reality. After all, dreams are meant to
come true.
It only takes one
decision to impact your life in the most positive way. Make that decision today!
Start working on things today instead of tomorrow. Listen to your heart and
find your passion. It’s simply doing what you love and loving what you do. Start
with that and everything will fall into place. Remember that dreams will always
be within your reach, you just have to own it and make it happen!
