THE POWER OF DREAMS: TO DREAM OR
NOT TO DREAM.
Apparently, you are aware that this is quite a
subject. A lot of people dream about
achieving great things and; becoming
fulfilled individuals. At the same time, many
others don’t give it much thought at all. In any
case, we al agree that dreams are extraordinary
and unique in their own way.
The Honda Motor Company has
an Ad campaign (on a couple of international
magazines) about dreams. The theme; a hand made
doll with unpainted eyes. The idea, is for its
owner to paint one eye; as a sign that you are
about to
embark on fulfilling a particular
dream/goal/objective of yours. Upon completing
this goal, you can then paint the other eye.
Now, you can buy as many of
these dolls as you choose to. The bottom line is
that you follow the practice. Following a dream
is quite an
endeavor.
Some people have likened it to spiritual
discipline. Others say its rewards are beyond
measure. We can nurture anything. Making a music
record; making clothes/fashion, starting a
company, making a trip to some distant exotic
location, going on a pilgrimage, graduating from
school with distinction, and so much more. The
tasks or goals are
infinite.
They take the shape of its promoter, which is
you. You design your dream in such a way that
you find suitable: putting into consideration
your strengths and weaknesses. However, there
are certain obstacles; failures; difficulties
(the ups and downs).
Nevertheless, these are only stepping
stones onto more success. You should be able to
bend these into your favor. Practice fortitude.
Although some people may never experience such
obstacles, it is important to prepare for
challenges on your journey.
For those who dream (of becoming something
more), it helps keep your sanity; and,
maintaining focus on the achievements to come.
Dreams are a good thing to have. They nurture
devotion, skill and enthusiasm. Intelligence is
sharpened by the experiences gone through. A
dream becomes a teacher in your life (the person
who practices it), with so many lessons to give.
As such, you’ll have to receive them with open
arms.
Eventually,
it becomes a
blessing to your life. In many ways, you
will find that your dream has (a spill over) an
effect on the lives of others. That is the
beauty of a good dream. It is set on a
foundation of love. Love manifests in many ways.
Most times, unassuming but always sure. So,
nurture your dream.
Hold
unto it faithfully. Never doubt your
abilities and skill. You are capable of many
things; (possibilities without boundaries).
Believe in your self and in your dream. Finally,
I say: to dream .
