Well there are various definitions and interpretations of dreams. It’s a complete science and the field is called oneirology. I am not here to talk about the dreams in your sleep, but the dreams that you want to live for. Yes, I am talking about the ambitions, plans, goals that one seeks to achieve in his lifetime.
It all starts at a very young age when you start playing with a plane and decide to become a pilot, or while playing with a military gun you realize how cool it is to be a soldier or a barbie doll inspires you to be a model. But as the time passes by we are exposed to lot of new things and accordingly our dreams keep changing. All of sudden you have too many confusing options to choose from. Then comes the advice from your parents, from your distant cousin and also from never-heard-before-aunt. All are super interested in deciding your fate. You need to be brought up in Indian culture to understand how interesting this can get.
In general this is when one starts losing his/her identity and starts chasing dreams which were never theirs to begin with. We start to copy others and become more interested in what everyone else is doing rather than focusing on our careers. So here is my take and I hope it might help you to make your dreams a reality.
Take your own decisions
It is important to have an open mind and take advices from everyone. But at the end it should be you who should take the decision. There is nothing like taking right decision and even if you make a wrong choice consider it as a step towards correct decision.
Let go your past
We worry too much about the past and tend to ignore present which soon becomes yet another non delightful past. One should remember that you can’t revert things in the past, but we do have control to shape a brighter present and interesting future.
Be nice to everyone
I personally feel it does not take any effort to be nice and kind to others. Treat everyone equally with same respect. You never know your kindness might brighten up someone’s day.
Be your own competitor
We spent lot of time analyzing others. One should set their own goals. Constantly re-evaluate if things are not going according to the plan and make necessary corrections.
Enjoy what you do
Another important thing is to enjoy what you do. Whether it is work in office or just cleaning your house, you will excel only when you do it with your heart.
Always dream big because nothing is impossible if you plan it smartly. It will just take more time to be reality. It’s never too late to chase your dreams, remember we live once, so just do what you love the most.
