Follow Your Dreams

Do you remember your dreams when you were little?

When we were kids, we were so full of imagination. We can be anything that we wanted to. The sky is the limit. Nothing could stop you from being a superhero, a princess, a soldier, a monster or a cat.

At that time, we were able to create stories and be the hero/heroin in them for days, weeks and months. Anything that we see and touch could be used as a toy: a fairy wand, a rifle, a sword to fight evil dragons or the blanket used as a magic cape. The imagination has no limit.

But then we grew up. And as we grow older, we met 'real people' living in the 'real world' and talking about 'real things'. Some may have messed up our ability to dream, others managed to steal and destroy those dreams.

There were moments in school when you were mocked for your 'stupid ideas'. There were also times when your parents crushed your dreams without even trying to understand our point of view. There were husbands who just ignored your dreams because they think that you were just a woman filled with silly ideas. There is also the boss who dismissed your suggestions as being 'impractical' without even giving it a chance to be explored.

The 'Dream Takers' are people who have lost their dreams and now attempt to discouraged others to dream by giving 'advices', sharing their bad 'experiences' and always talking about 'I have seen it all before'. They tried to convince us to stop dreaming by words laden with discouraging remarks and blaming everyone on what has happened to them. These dream takers are all around us: parents, friends, teachers or colleagues.

Life would be dull without dreams. No creativity, no hope and no new challenges.
Find a someone or surround yourself with positive type of friends who believe in you and who can fuel your passions and ambitions. Yes, you can. You will never know your full potential if you never try.

Let's dream big and go for it!
