Dreams

A fellow blogger on a different blog forum, in a post said to himself, ‘My dreams looking at me said to one another - This life has let us down.’

This, probably, must be his observation about his own life or at the end of his life (not really the end), he, in a pensive mood, gloomily talked to himself about his disappointing life, as far as his dreams were concerned.

In a TV ad for an insurance company, the narrator says, ‘Life – its all about making your wishes comes true…’

I was talking to a colleague of mine in the morning and his dreams suddenly cropped up from nowhere and took over the usual discussion. And then there was no end to it. Later others too joined and moments later we had a collage of a discussion, with everyone’s dreams lying spread eagle on table. Some dreams were funny, some were kinky, some serious, some too ambitious, some were just. But all had dreams.

Dreams – the fuel, which keeps the human soul going. The reason to live life.

Back to that statement, which lay the platform for this post, ‘My dreams looking at me said to one another - This life has let us down.’ What I realized today was that everyone has some dream or the other. And everyone is passionate enough about one’s dreams. It’s just that the kind of efforts needed to be put in to realize dreams vary. And there lies the difference. Those who go whole hog to achieve their dreams are called winners and those who couldn’t achieve what they dreamt of get into brooding moods and make statements like this. Not that I am holding them culprits for not putting efforts. There can be many reasons and circumstances that work as obstacles on the way to realize dreams. But everyone does try, at least once; to make ones dreams come true.

I am not putting in enough to realize my dreams. I too want to give it a try, at least once. I want to give my hundred percent to achieve, what I want to. So that, at the end of my life, I don’t say, ‘My dreams looking at me said to one another - This life has let us down.’

God, please help me.
