Dare to dream - Reshma Majithia

 


Don’t be afraid of the space between your dreams and reality.
If you can dream it, you can make it. So, to accomplish great things,
we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe.
No harm in dreaming, dreams are as good as an indicator; they evaluate a person.
So, many of us dream of being a singer, a doctor, a choreographer and so on.
While some of us accomplish our dreams and some of us don’t. Some are smug about
the way things are and just content with life.
Then there are those who wriggle out of extra work, do nothing and get to the
forefront in life and you think they are born with a silver spoon in their mouth.
Some trample all over you to get where they want to be. Some people just build castles
in the air
and wait for things to happen. Some are impudent, willing to take risks
whereas some are too scared stiff and do not want to relinquish what they have.
Some have a clear mind about what they want and some are muddleheaded and befuddled.
Some think God is inequitable to them and feel resentful but do nothing about it.
Some are puissant and have a lot of clout. It’s all about the right kind of approach to any speculation.
Stop kvetching. Life is not a bed of roses. You might face impediments on your path to success,
but don’t lose hope. Your life is in your hands. You either make it or break it. Always remember,
if you are determined to get to the top you will be successful. Don’t allow anyone or anything to make
you waver in your faith. If you dare to dream, it will come true.
