… but dreams may come true.
How many times have you dreamed of things, impossible in your mind, yet one day they do come true?
Sometimes your dreams seem just like… the mountain summit; too hard to imagine, too far to climb, and too impossible to reach.
But then, one says, “I have a dream,” while another says, “these are just fussy, meaningless dreams.” The difference between them is that one truly begins climbing the mountain to achieve something, anything, while the other waits down there, laughing, still wondering what a silly, unfathomable dream might be!
For the climber, to reach the summit, to cheer from up there, to enjoy the panoramic view all around from the top, is worth every step, every ache, and every drop of sweat. From now on, there will be no turning back, only moving forward—for every dream can come true.
For the others watching from down there, they wander about with mocking laughter, a few steps, a little effort, and no sweat. Poor them, they can’t see what the climber sees, they will not learn what the climber learns, and they will never understand how dreams can come true.
By the way, don’t you agree that to have a dream doesn’t necessarily mean becoming a president, a royal, or even a scholar? To have a dream is to have a purpose with valuable meaning. In other words, a dream has to do with something that can guide rather than mislead. It is a disaster if selfishness and pride are the sole motivations behind one’s dreams; actually this can be worse than having no dreams at all.
Do you remember those old days dreams?
As children, we were often asked, “What do you want to be in the future?
Do you remember the boy who said, “I want to be an upright judge.”
And the other who said, “an honest lawyer.”
And that girl who wanted to be a kind teacher. And another who dreamed of becoming a merciful doctor.
These little noble dreams often came true, turning into something useful, generous, and prosperous.
Now, please do not to be pessimistic for even amid all the media madness and money mania, these little noble dreams still exist.
There will always be those who surprise us with true, prosperous dreams coming true.
With hope and peace,
Nahla
