Dreams are achievable !! =)

Since young, I would always tell my parents and my friends about my dreams, to become an astronomer, fire fighter, doctor and so on.

When we were young, countless imagination and possibilities are there shinning upon our heads waiting to be unravelled. But as we grow older, all these dreams seemed to be impossible for us. Slowly day by day, minute by minute, we lost trust in these dreams that we once believe so much as a kid and succumbed to the flow of today's society mind set and point of view. 

It is true that dreams that we want to achieve when we are young are those impossible dreams? Dreams that can only exist in the plain of our own perfect imaginary world? 

or... 

It is that the general context of the society and teachings that unconsciously hypnotize us and mislead our thoughts to follow the general crowd? 

So which is which? 

Certainly I could just tell you that dreams are achievable, but some would just tell me it is impossible. Some might believe, and some won't. So what is the core criteria that enables us to focus and achieve our dreams? 

There are generally 3 core words that one should remember if one wants to reach out to the stars and catch his/her dreams. 
1. Vision
2. Intention
3. Commitment

Too often we are always affected by our surroundings whenever we voice out our own opinion. People would just start to say; 

"You sure about that?"
"You sure you can make it?"
"It's not that simple as you think it is." 

And then *poof* the dreams and flaming passion that we had are turned off by all these icy cold splashes of negative comments. Gradually we will start to believe that whatever we want to do is impossible to achieve and then we will give up that dream and in search of other dreams.

However, same thing will come back again and again like a vicious cycle if we are not aware of what might be the problem. Is it because of what and how others think? or is it because of ourselves?

Many great people in the past have gone through the same trials and difficulties like us, some even worst in comparison with our daily problems. People like Thomas Edison, Nelson Mandela, Ghandi; all these people had gone through persecution and harsh trials to achieve their dreams. But what's more important is that they are just same like us. Normal human being but with a clear cut Vision, Intention and Commitment.

Vision
Visualize what you wanted to achieve, it can be I want to become a writer, painter, singer, businessmen or even your vision can be such as travelling around the world before certain age.
Vision can be anything, let it be big or small as long as it is what you want to achieve in live and what you love.

Intention
When you had a clear vision where will you be in the future, always define the intention of the vision. A lot of times we are often confused and mistaken our lust for our vision. With a clear cut intention it would be easier to walk towards your dreams.
For example, I always wanted to write a book. That is my vision. My intention would be the reason I write this book. Which is to share my thoughts and experience to others so that others may gain from it.
And that is intention.

Commitment
Once the Vision and Intention is clearly defined, this would be the easiest and yet hardest part for most of us. Which is to go ahead and DO IT!! Normally people would be like how do I start? Where do I start? When do I start? It is actually very easy. START NOW, START HERE and JUST BECOME WHAT YOU WANT TO BECOME.
Seize the moment and become what you want at this very moment, if you want to be a writer then at this moment you are a writer, if you want to be a guitarist, you are now a guitarist. It is never about wait till I learn how to do it then I will become, but the moment when you start taking up the responsibility and commitment to achieve your vision.

Of course it is always easier said than done, but without any steps taken all we would have is just countless numbers of 'what if' questions running in our mind till the end of the days of our lives.
But even when we start to take a small simple step, we are already one step closer to where we want to go. Nobody said it is easy to walk down these path, but the journey, the process of these taken path will surely bare sweet and awesome fruits.

So don't be afraid, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger !

Today is our Best Day~~

Cheers ~
