DREAMS

"DREAMS ARE SURE TO COME TRUE WHEN THEY ARE CONCRETE, PRECISE AND WORKED FOR IN THE TRUE DIRECTION". We always hear people saying their dream is to be someone or be like someone or own certain luxury things or own a palatial home. However majority of us just say so without actually having visualised our dreams. A whole lot of us fall in the category we term as Sheikhchalli. Only a few visualise concrete dreams and than work towards fulfilling them.

I saw a Gujarati play "EK CHOKRI SAAV ANOKHI". The lead character is a girl who has dreamt what she wants to achieve. She works hard while enjoying all the things she loves to do. However one incident changes her entire life. She looses both her hands in an accident and for sometime looses faith in life and most importantly herself.

One day when it comes to matter of survival she uses her legs and from there she starts again working towards fulfilling her dreams by doing things with her legs. All her daily chores are attempted by the use of legs. She succeeds in doing most of her work by the use of her feet. Sounds strange and tough but it has to be seen to be believed. The girl fulfills her father's and her dreams.

I am sure watching this drama will change the lives of some people. If we are to achieve what we dream than all hurdles and obstacles can be overcomed. It is just that we have to visualise where we want to be. Not being able to have precise dreams is a weakness and majority of us have this weakness.

DREAMS

What would it take to make you really happy? Being a huge financial successor or having the biggest house in town or owning a private jet? That's what others tell us is the key to happiness. Well, most of us may not agree with this.

Unless you have some innate, personal love of a big house or helicopters, don't let yourself buy into someone else's idea of a good life. If you do, you're in for a big letdown. Because no one but you has any idea what will make you happy.

What you love is as unique to you as your fingerprints. Nothing will make you really happy but doing what you love. Just look at people who are actually living their dreams. You can see a calm focus in their eyes and patience in their actions. They know they're in the right place, doing the right thing.

Somewhere inside yourself you know what you love, too. You dream of starting your own business, or traveling the world, or finding the right mate; you wish you could ride the horses on your own ranch, or go diving off the Great Barrier Reef with a fabulous underwater camera.

Or maybe you don't know exactly what your dreams are, but you can sense them somewhere deep within you. Even when they are not defined, they're not far away. Dreams are almost impossible to get rid of. They keep reminding you that that you're not satisfied with your life, that something crucial is missing.

And that's very lucky for you. If your dreams didn't trouble you, you'd forget them entirely. That's what you were trained to do. Most of us were told that we'd have to make daunting sacrifices to go after what we love. Whenever we dream out loud, we're criticized for being foolish by people who really have no idea how special we are. As a result, we crush our dreams without giving them half a chance.
