DREAMS
ONE POWERFUL WORD: DREAMS
Dreams. What is a dreams? Some of you might get it wrong, this "dreams" is not that usual dreams you have when you're asleep, what I mean about "dreams" is something that you wish and you're dying to be and dreams are not something that you can get so easily. It doesn't need much explanation, because I believe all of us understand what it is and everyone have one. Yes, everyone have one! But not much people are willing to pursue it, some of them decided to give up, more worse, treating their dreams as just a childhood dreams.
Remember when you was still a kid? What did you wish to be? I bet your dreams must be something that's wild! But when we growing up, we tend to forget our dreams due to people that we met, our parents' influence, our friends and many more. We were so busy with our life and trying to build a family but have you ever wonder, what is your purpose to be born in this world? Trust me, you didn't being born in this world just to go through your childhood, finish your education, find a job, work 8-5, stuck in a traffic jam, build a family, have kids, have grandchildren and die. Did you really think you were born to do the same routine repeatedly everyday for your entire life?? No, you're not!!!
"I'm old", "I have a family to feed", "I'm busy", "I have so many responsibility", "Its too late", hey, its never too late to pursue and achieve your dreams! Stop giving excuses!! Remember Susan Boyle, from the Britain's Got Talent Season 3, who covered "Elaine Paige- I Dreamed A Dream" on her audition? She's the second-runner up, she didn't won the competition but after the competition, many producer, tv shows, record label and many more started rushing towards her, in the blink of an eye, her dreams of being a professional singer like her idol, Elaine Paige, came true, and by that time, she was 47 years old.
What can we learn from Susan's story is never giving up in your dreams. Never compare yourself to others, some might achieve their dreams in an early age, some are late-bloomers. Remember this, when you decided to pursue your dreams, be ready to be disappoint, fail, fall and laugh at. You will discover many people who will not believe in you, some will always gonna' bring you down, include your family. Don't be surprise by that, because only you who believe in your dreams! Only you know better about your dreams, but keep in mind, the enemy of your dreams are not the obstacle or people around you, but yourself, because only you have the power to kill your dreams.
I, myself, started to realize about my dreams 2 years ago, I'm turning 27 this year, and will not stop till' I achieve my dreams of becoming a well-known and a successful musicians. I know its hard and seems impossible to achieve what you dream of. Sometimes, the will of giving up always crosses our mind because life knocks us down so hard, obstacle and problems keep on coming along the way, but remember, they only come to pass and not to stay!! Dreams is a marathon, its not a race, who reach to the finish line first is not important, what important is, we finish the run. Please don't waste your life on pleasing people needs, its your life, be the conqueror of your own, don't let anyone set your destiny, its you and never will be anyone else except, YOU!
