Dream On...





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
