We all have our own dreams. So many goals, so many expectations. We’re looking forward into a brighter future. A future where you live with no worries about the food, the money, the place you’re staying in. We don’t want a future that we will live just to work and work and work.
As a human, it is not bad to dream high. That’s a good thing actually, having a specific goal in your life. But what we do in our journey to reach our dream is a big thing. Yes we dream to be this and that, to have things like these and those but are we doing something for it? Are we trying hard to chase our dreams? That’s the saddest part we dream high but we don’t soar high. It’s like being a bird who wants to learn to fly but doesn’t try.
If you have a dream, chase it. If you have a goal, work for it. Don’t just sit there and wait for the future. Don’t wait for the time that you’ll realize it’s too late, that you’re too old to make things happen. As long as you have the time, take advantage of it for developing yourself for the future and making decisions that will hold a bright tomorrow.
We won’t like to live in a messy future. We won’t like a life of surviving, we would want a life of living. Someday we should know that we should work to live not live to work.
Do you ever have that “I hope i did this” feeling. Like regretting because you missed an opportunity that could possibly change your whole life. Having those “what ifs” because there are many possible outcomes if you just did that. Hmm?
I was once a shy student, well until now but not that super shy anymore. They have known me to be snob, quiet and serious person. That’s kinda true but that was years ago. I have developed my self esteem through the years. I’ve learned that if I let shyness take me, I will miss so much opportunities. Like not reciting even though you know the answer, i’ll miss a good grade for that. Not saying hi to someone because i’m shy, I can miss so many “supposed to be ” friendship because of that. Not interacting with others because I feel that i’m not belong, I can miss so many moments that will surely counts. And I will really regret if I will miss so much opportunities.
Now, everything could be the same for you. In different situation maybe, but there are many opportunities led in front of you. Many doors and many new environment. Behind those doors could be a wonderful journey for you. Don’t just let that door be locked forever. Try to get in. Try discover where your heart belongs to and where God wants you to be. So many good opportunities that needs to be chased, don’t waste it. Not everyone is given a chance to something. That thing in front of you might be the thing that someone really wants to yet you just ignore it because you’re shy? No love, no. It’s not bad to go outside of your comfort zone. Get outside that box. Meet new good friends. Be in wonderful and inspiring activities. Be in places and events that will mold your heart, mind and personality. Remember this, if you fail, atleast you’ve learned, but if you take that door and that journey is really meant for you, it will be a wonderful path. It will never be a loss for you if you take the chance. Learn or enjoy will always be better than regretting.
There are times like everything is falling apart. It felt like nothing good seems to happen, everything is a mess and it’s just a no hope day for you. It seems like there is no reason to be happy at all. The thoughts crawl upon our minds until it conquers it fully. We can’t deny that we have our dark days that we don’t discuss with anyone. But here are some things I keep in mind every bad days I encounter
If God is with me, why should I worry. God holds our past, present and future. He got everything planned. The trials and dark moments of our lives are just challenges that will help us to be stronger and gonna mold us into a better version of ourselves.
There will always be a new day. We all have to face problems but we don’t have to stay there. We need to overcome this phase for us to be a better person. In every bad moment, there is also a good moment. Just like they say, it’s just a bad day not a bad life
I have my family to lean on, they’re the closest people we can share our thoughts to. We will always have our family who got our back. If we have family problems, we have friends. We have our peer for a reason. We don’t have them for display or just for fun, we have them because they have us. It’s our responsibility to be a help for our friend in those times they need us.
Sometimes we’re not comfortable of sharing our problems to the people who are closest to our hearts but don’t forget that there are people who understands you and trustworthy enough. There are people around you that doesn’t mean a lot to you or doesn’t even have a heavy role in your life but they are willing to listen to your problems and rants. Sometimes the most unexpected people are the one who’s gonna help us.
We have dreams and goals and we shouldn’t stop chasing them because of this circumstances that is holding us back. This dreams will be our inspiration to get up and encourages us that “I can”. Yes you can, you can overcome all of this, in God’s power. Someday you’ll be looking back and you’ll finally smile and tears will fall from your eyes and you’ll say “I made it”.
Life is more than just living. You will not wake up just to sleep again. You are given another opportunity not to be conquered by problems but to face it, to overcome it. You’re not just a simple person, you are stronger than you think. And you’re capable more than you think you are. Keep fighting!
