Lost Dreams 2
“I will wait till I’m a bit older, before I start to pursue my dream. I still have time, let me wait small, I don’t think this is the right time” Then you end up waiting for a year, two, five, ten! And is not yet the right time. Is not yet the IT moment when you feel you have everything you need to achieve your dream. And then you grow grey hairs without achieving even the smallest of your ambitions. You want to know why? Yes, because procrastination has always been the thief of time, and as far as the sun keeps rising there will always be new problems that arises, that will delay whatever perfect moment you have been waiting for. Now let’s see if our dreams can actually get lost or fade away. You know what happens when you get a favorite tool you need to work with, for instance, an expensive sewing machine? The tailors in the house will relate to the excitement and giddiness that comes with it. Then, because it’s expensive, you decide not to touch it or use it, until the perfect time when you feel you’ve learnt everything you need to learn as a tailor. You stay a month, two, six, a year without using the machine. One thing is bound to happen! That beautiful, expensive sewing machine that made you very excited will certainly start getting rusty, and maybe when you finally feel like it’s time! It will have start to malfunction. This analogy applies perfectly to our dreams. You conceive them while growing up, and they make you feel very excited. But because you didn’t act on it, even with the little resources you have at your disposal, which could be a way of refreshing and keeping that dream alive, it eventually fades away. Just as the sewing machine will rust away due to lack of service, if you don’t use the little knowledge you have about sewing to keep it working. Therefore, that big dreams of yours need to serviced, fed and put to work consistently even when the results are not very appealing. If you keep servicing it, it will definitely make sense and might even hatch into a bigger dream for you, providing you with more resources gained from experience. ALSO READ Lost Dreams {1}
