Pursue Your Dreams

Dreams virtually come at some point in time within our lives. When I mean dreams I am not literally talking of the succession of images, emotions, thoughts and feelings you experience while at a certain stage of your sleep. I am practically talking about the desire to attain your goals, were-by you want to achieve something in your life at some point in the future. You should have the desire to achieve something great, for I believe nobody realistically would   really set to achieve an undesirable dream. Almost everybody has a dream to be somebody of great importance in the world and everyone can achieve that dream.

One university lecturer once said ‘a person without a dream is just as useless as a glass hammer’. Meaning if you do not have the dream to achieve something in your life, you are second to nothing.

Have a dream and put yourself through it. Some people set a certain length of period by which they want to have achieved something and that is very good .When you dream please make sure you dream big, aim to reach as high as the stars so that if you don’t manage to get there, you fall on the clouds. When pursuing a dream; never have an element in your mind that you are going to fail. Failure should never be an option. Nonetheless do not just say I aspire to achieve a particular dream and then sit back and do nothing about it. Put action into your words and work towards accomplishing the dream. 

                          

 The problem with most people is that, they have lots of dreams but they have done nothing much to achieve even one of them. This is because they lack determination. Not all people fail because they lack determination, but some fail because they have no guidance and the knowledge to implement the dream. Doctor Seuss who was an American writer once said “the more that you read, the more things you will know and the more places you will go’’. So it is important to know why and what you need to do to achieve your dream.

To achieve anything in life you must first of all believe in yourself, that’s how most people become successful. There are certain aspects which you need to have to achieve your dreams. Be disciplined, have self-esteem and the determination to attain great things and surround your-self with people who do likewise. Such circumstances help you acquire your dreams and so that you become successful in life. Martin Luther King who was the leader of the African-American Civil Rights Movement in the 1960’s, had a dream. That dream became true many years after he had died. In his life time he set the seed of what has come to be known as the American dream. He put his power and belief in so many people so that they could also believe in themselves.

Faith is another characteristic you must have when you want to achieve your dream. Pray to God and ask for guidance. It works, you might never know what you are doing and actually end up in a predicament you totally don’t understand while trying  to attain a goal. In trying to achieve your dream, you can also be misled by other people and you end with nothing. Losing something you really have passion and worked for can be devastating. So be careful; pursue your dreams but with guidance, discipline and the knowledge to complete your dreams. The sky is no longer the limit because there are footprints on the moon. Reach as high as you can dream big. Even if your peers say you are over ambitious, ignore them. The world is yours.
