If you can dream it, you can achieve it. But you can’t achieve it without taking any action. One day I will get the time to fulfill my dreams, one day I will plan to start my dream project. All these things will really matter if you will ever get time for it.
In fact, the fact is whatever, is the condition right now it will remain like this and it might possibly that it will be worse than this. So, your dreams will remain dreams only.
“What is not started today is never finished tomorrow.”
– Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Keep your dreams alive always. Never think it’s too late. If you haven’t lived your life as you dreamed it, live it now. You can still change it; just start taking action for it. It’s human nature to put off the things. Sometimes we think it’s not the right time, sometimes we got stuck in our other responsibilities and we keep on delaying it for too long. We make ourselves busy struggling up with our day to day life. But we always forget that we have some responsibilities for our dreams also.
When I was very young, my father used to tell me, Never be too lazy to complete your work today itself. You never know, how much work is assigned to you tomorrow. It applies to your dreams too, if you have some plan for yourselves never delay it, take an action right now. Until you realize, you actually don’t have time for it.
You have to make a reminder; you are not going to get an infinite time to live here. It’s now or never. Today is the day to take the right step towards your dream. Never ever leave any plan for your future, because, the future is unseen and misleading. You will never get your golden time to start something new. You have to steal your time from your daily life. You are already occupied since morning to evening, what if; you will be occupied for another one hour.
It’s just a matter of prioritizing your responsibilities. You have to prioritize your responsibilities towards your family, Job, and the most important towards your dreams. You must have a very clear vision for it. But one thing should be very clear in your mind. As you get older, your quality of life will be affected and you can’t deny this life cycle. It might be possible that your health will not support you.
Accept the reality; you have a limited period of time to accomplish all things. So, what is most important; you can’t run away from any of your responsibilities, but yes, you can make the priority list for your life. If time is short, you can’t walk and achieve your finishing line, instead of that, you have to run, and sometimes you might have to fly to achieve your finishing line.
Sometimes, we take our life and time for granted, but on the contrary, time waits for none. Once it’s gone, it’s gone. It’s a fact; the future doesn’t exist. We can only imagine for our future, but it’s not real. If you are living your life to fulfill another person’s expectations right now, you will be doing the same tomorrow as well. That expectation from you will always be there, it’s not going to change. In fact, it might increase day by day. And the past is over; you are only left with your present. But your goals and vision must be clear; what you actually want from life.
Sometimes, we keep on giving excuses in life to achieve our dream and inner side actually we are scared of failing. We don’t believe in ourselves and before taking the first step towards it, we let it remain like this as a dream only. But pass or fail is the different story until or unless you tried for it, just have faith and believe in it, it is achievable. You should have self – confidence. You can always upgrade yourself. Have faith and belief in you and try with great determination and dedication. Give your hundred percent. If you have that much dedication no one can stop you.
“The only thing worse than starting something and failing … is not starting something.”
– Seth Godin
Focus only on what you want. Work silently on your dreams each and every day and let your success speak. Never listen to them who tell you it’s not possible. If you will listen to them you can’t achieve it.
I will tell you a short story, which my father told me when I was very young. Once upon a time, there was a challenge given to very small children around (5-10) years old one. It was a small mountain hiking challenge. All the children started with great enthusiasm, but on the contrary, their parents were very scared of them. All children started their first steps, but slowly they started taking their feet back. The reason was as soon as the children stared, their parent’s starts talking among themselves; oh… it’s very difficult. These kids can’t complete this. And ultimately all dropped out. But there was a kid who has successfully completed his task. You know what the reason behind that was. The kid was deaf. While others were listening to their parents, he was not able to listen to any of them. And he completed. So, if you really want to accomplish your dreams, don’t listen to anyone if they are trying to stop you willingly or unwillingly.
Perseverance is a must to fulfill your dreams. If you are not getting success in your first attempt, just learn from it, what has gone wrong, and upgrade yourself. But don’t simply quit.
Wherever you are busy, but make your dream alive in your subconscious mind. Just make yourself reminding them what is your dream and what you have planned for it.
Jennifer Bricker was born without legs, and her parents abandoned her. She was then adopted by the Bricker, who taught her to not say “I can’t.” As a child, Jen was active in sports and decided to do gymnastics seriously. And at the age of 11, she won the Power Tumbling Championship in Illinois and took the 4th place at the Junior Olympic Games.
She was fascinated by the American gymnast Dominique Moceanu, the gold medal winner at the 1996 Olympics. And at the age of 16, Jen learned that her idol was actually her older sister. And Jennifer reunited with her biological family. Later she participated in the Britney Spears Tour and wrote a memoir. Currently, she is an acrobat.
So, it’s never too late to accomplish your dreams. “You don’t have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step.” Start it now.
