Dream

How can we continually keep ourselves motivated, driven, determined and focused, especially on the things we really want? How do we keep on going when everything is so uncertain and doubtful? I believe in striving for the things we want, but struggles are never ending, or it seems.

I believe people should have dreams. I believe having a dream will gives us goals and something to strive for, making our life a meaningful & fulfilling one. But is that all it takes to live our life as close as possible to what we strive for? I've never stop pondering about this.

Many people see those who make it as the few lucky ones whom god seems to favour more. But is it really only luck? Or is it even luck to begin with? If one day, you get an opportunity to the door of your dreams, will you hesitate to grab it?

It requires alot of courage actually, to accept a new path which you are not sure where it will lead to, rather than hanging on to the existing one which you have already laid out over the years. It also requires alot of courage to forgo certain things you have been trying to conserve all your life. How many people can do that and follow their hearts?

When people look back in retrospect, it is easy to comment :" These people are just so lucky. Why don't I ever get to have this luck?" However, how many people will see the efforts these "lucky" people has paid and the things they have forgone before their achievements?

Believe in yourself, and your belief will help create the fact. I strive not for it yet, but to believe it first. Only when you can make yourself believe in it, you can then strive for it ;)
