Would You Give up Your Dream?

There is not many things I would give up on, for my Dreams to be fulfilled.  I do believe things take priorities at different points in your life and things have set backs to some degree, to me a burning flame is a burning flame.  It comes from within and if you dream BIG enough, long enough, with enough faith, surrounding yourself with the right people, nothing will stand in your way.  If you are a goal setter like I am and a motivated individual, working towards your dream or goal with your motivation for the fruitation of it being realized, it will come true.  I do know the other side to not having your dream fulfilled.  One reason I get along with my partner and husband so well is because he is a goal setter, motivated and he to is following his path of his dreams being fulfilled.  The other side of that is perhaps following the standard quo, or possibly having a goal or dream but following what someone else wants for you-not your own.  That side of it, I know first hand causes a lot of heartache.

Imagine, having a dream your whole life-even a bucket list type of dream...but never realizing it, never even talking about it.  When you go to sleep at night though, that dream is there in your soul nugging at you to come out.  It is always with you, it wants to be fulfilled.  Your dream wants to make you feel whole; a complete circle from the inside out; no matter how big or small...it is all relative.  I have watched many people who have had dreams, told me what they were....gave ideas on how to follow that path of hope, after I listened I would say "Oh you should do that, you would be great at that"!  Then always there words are, "Ya BUT, it would not work"....I wonder how many times someone told that person it would never work?  When I saw the gleam and sparkle in there eye, I saw that person light up, I saw the person talking fast, that I could even almost taste what they wanted.  I believed whole heartedley that they could definatley have there dream fulfilled, they though did not.

Would you give up on your dream and if so, why? 

At the beginning of each new year elementary school, the Teachers would come to the front, write there name on the board then ask us as students, "What do you want to be when you grow up"?  When they came to me I would say shyly although truthfully, "I want to change the world"  They then would say "How"  I would again shyly say "By helping people"  I guess the Teachers knew right then that I would not be on the honour role for any mathematics or any other glum teachings.  That is still with me today, whether I do it through my writing, or in small ways when I meet people out and about...That is what drives me.  Ultimatley that is what I still plan to do.

Don't give up on your dreams, whatever they are...There are far too too many people on their path for someone else, possibly a parental figure or for what ever other reason.  I know to well, how it feels to come home from yes, a job you hate, etc etc etc.  Following a dream, is not hard work, it is already staring you straight in the heart and deep within you.  Could you see Rocky saying "ahhh, no I don't really want to go another round, although it is toe to toe and only five minutes left until the bell rings"?   If he ever had done that,  how could he see or know what the outcome would be...EVEN if he did not win that fight.  Do you ever see an olympian soaring down the slopes beating everyone's time and then to say, "Ahh it is too cold, I am going to go warm up".  Last example I promise.  What if you were building a house, a dream home for you family, if you only had 5 days left and the whole house would be complete, would you throw down your hammer and say, I have a back pain...I guess this house can't be finished...? NO none of this would really make much sense if this or that was your true passion and dream.  I could see if you were miserable at doing something, you would not want to do it for very long and then find a way to hopefully pursue your dreams.


The question yet still remains, Would you give up on your dream?  The answer to me is plain and clear as day..."NO that would mean to give up on life, and YOURSELF.
