“When you really want something, the whole universe conspires in helping
you achieve it.”
-The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho

And I was scared when they questioned my dreams. I thought;
maybe they were right. It’s just a dream after all. It won’t even come true.
But who was I tricking. My goals where set and the target was locked. I had to
achieve what I had dreamt of. I knew it wouldn’t be easy. I would have to face
those imbeciles who thought that I would never succeed. I’ve learnt that self
deception and living in denial are the worst things you could do to yourself.
If you don’t believe in yourself, no one else will.
Don’t let the world tell you what you cannot do. Stand up for
your ideas and for yourself. Do what you feel like. Breathe. Go for a walk.
Write a poem. Tell a lie. Live your life. Go chase your dreams. There’s no
point in living in an eternal penumbral shadow of other’s aspirations and expectations.
If you can’t pick your own dreams and paths, then that life is of no use. You
may feel scared, lost and blah! Everyone does. But at times, one has to take
that leap of faith and just walk down the path. All you have to do is dedicate
yourself completely to your dreams. Work towards them. Believe you deserve
everything you dream about.
Don’t expect everyone to support you. Some will and some
won’t. Remember, friends come and go. But hang on to those precious one’s who have
stuck around. In the process of materializing your dreams, you will have to
face failures. Make sure you take it positively. Don’t give up that easily. And
the dreams might not necessarily be about career. Your dream might be to become
a better person, exercising to be become healthy and fit, finish that half read
novel, etc. Be unconventional be quirky, and be full of life. Be whatever you
want to be. Just don’t forget to DREAM ON….

“I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I –
I took the one less travelled by,
And that has made all the difference.”
- The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost
