Dreams are a strange thing.
Dreams that you have wanted to achieve, that have become your goals, dreams which don’t let you sleep.
Dreams that have now become an indispensable part of your life, non separable, to an extent that many a times it seems that you are being driven by them, rather than being the other way round.
They bring a purpose to your life, a sense of accomplishment when you achieve them, a motivation for you to work, to break the moulds you had set yourself in.
But(there’s always a but), there is something scary too that they bring along with themselves.
They bring fear. The fear of loosing them, as if loosing some loved ones. The fear of failing, the fear of loosing them- your dreams, the dreams that you have calmly and patiently gestated to turn them into a reality. The dread of not being able to achieve them due to any reason- be it your slack, or not being capable enough, or just because luck didn’t work out well. You dread the mere thought of you not being able to be what you have thought of being, what you have dreamt of being.
The fear that also many a times stops you or creates hurdles in your journey to your destination. But the fear is important, it makes you realise how much you love your dream, how important it is to you. It makes you feel alive and worthy.
It makes you go head over heals for it, it hurts you, it teaches you, it makes you turn yourself into a better and befitting version of yourself. It’s the fear of not being able to achieve this dream of yours that helps you overcome all the worst and difficult times that your journey puts you through, and it’s never easy; you are tested at every step, and you feel like giving up, but your fear, your dream doesn’t. This is what keeps you going through the toughest storms, the darkest of nights and the deepest of oceans to be who you want yourself to be. Because it’s not at all easy to follow your dreams, leave everything what the world tempts you with to work for what you desire.
The desire that you know is not just a thought or a motive, its like the love that you nurture for something that you have created and given all your sweat and blood for the child-your dream- carefully giving it the freedom to bloom and then trimming its wings at times that demanded so, when you felt that those could have been wrong.
And so you work, and you know its worth working for. In the journey, you even walk through hell, if it so demands and give whatever it takes. You become the revolution that you want to happen to the world, to achieve what you want, even if it demands changing the world; because revolutionaries don’t just happen they are made through the life’s most enduring tests.
And in this beautiful process seared with scares of glory and pains of bravery, you transform. Your dreams and the fear of not being able to achieve them, commands you to be yourself.
So, just don’t be afraid and be a version of yourself the world has never seen a copy of and could never ever see again, be different, dare to be different, take on everything that is thrown at you, dare to be a wolf in a herd of sheep. Live through every rough patch to be an improved version of yourself.
Dare to be YOU….!!!
