Why dreams are important...

It’s pretty normal for people to dream. We all have set a desirable future for ourselves and we always love dreaming things. We love dreaming about having cars, houses, having the money to buy all sorts of things. We always love dreaming that we are invincible and can do whatever we want to do in this life. But the thing is, we don’t always get what we dream. Still, dreaming is healthy, right?
 

Dreaming is just one part of the equation; one must do his part and try to achieve his goals in life. Well, dreaming is a good sign, given that not everybody knows how to dream, and thus they tend to take things for granted. Why? Because dreams make us refuse defeat, it’s only then we learn perseverance and hard work which can really improve one’s character and attitude.

                                                               

So how do we achieve our dreams?

First, we have to understand that dreams are not like the flowers in our garden which we can easily pick. They are the apples in our backyard that will require some effort and of course, some passion. Why passion? Passion is the best motivation that we may have. You can always exert an effort to reach for these apples, but without motivation, you might end up surrendering when you fail at your early attempts.

The point is, we might never know how much effort a dream may entail and may ask from us, but as long as we think that the dream is worth it, then we should continue with our efforts. One might think of surrendering when times get really hard, maybe sometimes the dream is not really for us to achieve. But what’s important is that we tried, that we made our best. It’s less painful to face failures when you know that you have given your ALL.

Just continue dreaming, and do whatever it takes to achieve those dreams as long as you think you’re still rational about doing it and doesn’t step on others’ rights and feelings. I mean sometimes, people are willing to hurt other people just to achieve their own goals and interests. Talk about the Ampatuans killing dozens of innocent journalists and civilians to uphold their ill political ambitions. But well, this note is not about the Maguindanao massacre, I just want to show you how dreams are able to dilute our rationality. So as long as you think that you’re not the criminal that I’m trying to describe, just continue with your dreams.

Play fair, dream big, and win them bigtime!
