Dreams are not what we see in sleep. They, on the contrary, are things that do not let us sleep. Dreams are an urge that make us so determined to achieve them. Think about it. Think about a dream you had. Your dream could be about getting into a prestigious school or becoming something when you grow up or getting good results. Those are real dreams. That give us the power to do something great or to pursue our desired goals. Dreams are, in fact, scenes that guide us throughout our life, making sure that you are making full use of your time to achieve the best.
Goals.... Another word for dreams. If we still believe that dreams are what we see in sleep, then use the word 'goals.' Without goals, our lives are incomplete. Without goals, we cannot experience the mystical feeling of triumph. If we do not aim for anything in life, then how are we going to move on?
Every creature has a brain. Every creature was given the same amount of intelligence. It just depends on how we nurture our intelligence to develop more. It depends on how we want our brains to work and which path of life would we want to choose. Let me give a very common but useful example.
Think of it from a seed's perspective. Once a seed is buried underground, its first goal is to germinate and grow into plant. As we all know, the conditions required for germination are water, oxygen and warmth. These conditions act like a support to help the seedling grow. Once the seed has grown into a plant, its next goal is to bear flowers and fruits. Again, under the right conditions, it is able to bear flowers and fruits. Its next goal will be dispersal. Again, with the help of either water, animals, wind or explosive action (depending on the type of plant), it is able to grow through the process of dispersal and the whole cycle soon repeats itself.
What I have learnt from this story is that under the right guidance and positive influence we will be able to strive and achieve our goals. However, we should take note that no matter how much support we get, we ourselves will have to do the hard work to reach our goals.
In the end, we will be the ones to pursue our dreams but before that we will have to do the work ourselves to reach the top. Dreams will forever remain with us as a reminder of the effort we put in to pursue them and the time we took to overcome every obstacle we faced to reach the mountain peak.
Remember, always stay positive and learn from every experience you encounter. Do not differentiate them as good or bad. Just embrace them as they come because everything you encounter is teaching you something and once you appreciate and learn from those teachings, you will be one step closer to pursuing your goals. There is always a bright side in every situation and once you look into the positive side of the situation, then you can embrace even the worst of the experiences and learn from even their lessons. It is important to learn from everything because we never stop being a student in the classroom of life.
This is something I learnt from a book that i was reading (2 actually), and those teachings inspired me to write this blog post. I hope that after reading this, all of you may get the determination to reach your desired goals.
*** So go ahead, stay positive, never give up, be good and pursue your dreams !! ***
