About a year ago, I did my first dream board as I attended Patterns Of Excellence with my wife. Back then, although I was excited about it, I kind of did it as an ‘assignment’.
Today, a year later, I want to do another Dream Board. The difference is this dream board is really going to be what I will be dreaming of achieving in me and my family’s future. No this post is not about my dream board. This post is about something else, something that I happened to find while sourcing images for my dream board, and it touched my heart deeply and so I feel the need to share.
As I was searching for images, I typed in ‘my dream’ in google image search and the first result caught my attention. This is the picture I saw…
Anyway, my interpretation of this picture is that this person has been so negatively affected by people that he is beginning to hate his life to the extent that he is looking for people with similar emotions. In this comic, his dream has come true. But is this the kind of dream that we should all have? When we came to this world, we were innocent. In fact, before that, we were winners. We have fought off millions of others to secure the chance to be born. However, as we arrive into this world and grow up, some of us have allowed ourselves to be negatively influenced by others until we see ourselves as losers. Some, have even developed hatred for their lives as they do not see positive things happen around them.
I was there. I was lost. I did not have any dream because to me, it was futile to even dream. I only had bad dreams. Like the man in the picture, I only could dream of how my life would suffer when I grow old. I only dreamed that with my present situation, it can only get worse when I grow old. I am glad I woke up from such dreams.
Today, I dream differently. I dream BIG. I dream MIGHTY. I know that what I dream is what I will get. Through education, I am now better aware of what I want in my life. 5 years, 10 years, 20 years down the road, I dream of a different me. I dream of different things that I can be doing that will be different from today. I Dare To Dream!
What about you? Have your dreams come true? If you have had a life as I had, or if you are thinking like the man in the picture, I urge you to start changing your dream. Dare to dream differently even if it seems unreal at first. Think of what you want to achieve in your life and start thinking that you can, because you deserve to live your life as it should. And once you start changing your dreams, I can assure you that things will happen for you, as it has and will happen to me.
Hi Just surfed by.
It would be great if you can share with people your plans/approach to fulfil your dreams.
Frankly asking people to think positive is only the first of the many necessary steps. Your own detailed progress, if you care to show, will give many people more confidence in the msg of your blog post.
Cheers:)
Thanks. I will be seriously thinking through and share in my next post.
[...] Heathen suggested that I set myself some goals and plans for what I want to achieve. I think that’s a great idea. But as I sat down and pondered upon my goals, I am somewhat lost. That is because I have extremely mixed feelings between my passion & my goals. Perhaps to share more, I shall list my goals down first. [...]
