Dreams, Goals & Life

The moment I think of the term ‘dream’, the bestselling book “The Alchemist” written by Paulo Coelho comes to my mind. The boy in the story dreams about finding the gold but in order to reach the treasure, he just had to follow his dreams [read: instincts] though the treasure was in the same place where the boy had begun his journey. If only the boy had ignored his instincts and if only he had refused to follow his dream, would he have been able to see those beautiful places, the pyramids, save people and most of all the finding of his love in the place near the desserts. The whole story wouldn’t have been interesting at all if the boy wedged to his daily routine and avoided the journey, isn’t it? So, dreams have to be seen because they are our only source to imagine ourselves in the way we want and in that position which we desire.

I feel dreams and goals are inter-linked. We dream of attaining something then that must become our goal. Dreaming big enhances our self-morale and further prompts us to strive hard to make our dreams come true. Nothing in this world can be achieved without working hard; and to convert dreams into reality, we must be
1. Dedicated in pursuing our steps,
2. Adhered to our disciplinary principles,
3. Strict in our morals and ethical values,
4. Try never to abdicate from our paths.

This simple theory can be modified further with an example. When we plant a sapling, we water it daily and we make sure the soil for the sapling’s growth has the right minerals in it; we nurture it and gradually see the sapling spurting out and growing into a huge tree [read: when the sapling is given thorough nourishment]. Similarly, when our dreams are chased by self dynamically and with thorough dedicated, then we stand at close quarters to attain what we had dreamt off or rather even we would have attained it in a short period.

There is the taste of success when we not only dream big but also convert these dreams into our goals to be achieved. As long as we live, we must learn how to live; and a life with no dreams and aspirations is as good as dead. We must become the significant someone in our life or else we add no meaning to the precious gift – ‘life’. The path to success is simple but no doubt about one thing, that is, we just have to travel around on nameless roads [read: meaning unknown and not frequently used by all, except by the achievers]. Converting dreams to reality through making it our prime goal and then adapting to it as it is the soul of our life; we make our life a worthy and a beneficial one. We all must have dreams and chasing it to make it come true should be our prime motto in order to make our life truly living.
