Good Day, Guten Tag and Masah Al Khair People...
I know I have A Dream... I'm not writing this article today to share it however I want to talk about the reality of having a dream and what some of us think are and are not possible and how we let go of our dreams. The different factors that influence our dreams and influence our journey towards either achieving them or abandoning them.
This however would be in regard to the process of us humans 'Dreaming' while we sleep. I've been thinking that this "Dream" is not very far from being related to the way we think about our Actual Dreams in day-to-day life. Things we wish for, People we wish to be with, Goals we wish to Achieve etc etc.
It would be very easy for us to think that the dreams we wish to turn into reality are nothing else but dreams , just like a dream we would see in our sleep and forget the next morning. That would make life very simple I feel and boring and it would be unjust on our parts to let ourselves lay that way.
It is because great humans had dreams, and worked towards making it a reality, we have electricity, phones, television, laptops, computers, cars etc etc and i mean the number of scientific or technological innovations are not all known to us but it's out there for those like u and me to find someday and appreciate and utilise and THANK the creator of that particular THING.
As a reference to my article I read, Late Psychotherapist Sigmund Freud developed a theory that the content of dreams is driven by unconscious wish fulfilment. Freud called dreams the "royal road to the unconscious." He theorised that the content of dreams reflects the dreamer's unconscious mind and specifically that dream content is shaped by unconscious wish fulfilment. He argued that important unconscious desires often relate to early childhood memories and experiences. Freud's theory describes dreams as having both manifest and latent content. Latent content relates to deep unconscious wishes or fantasies while manifest content is superficial and meaningless. Manifest content often masks or obscures latent content.
We are being Followers, We are being those that "ALSO" ran.
It's not a bad thing to be a follower, we all are but one way of looking at this is IF you have a DREAM that you see is achievable even 50 Years down the line or 30 Years down the line, DON'T STOP until you Achieve it and more so for those who can turn their dreams into a reality sooner.
WHY? It's but fair that you give yourself that chance and but natural that you pursue such a great FEAT.
People have this unimaginably strong power to convince themselves and you that your" NOT WORTH IT ". Funny thing is, it's just up to YOU to to prove yourself "WORTH IT". No One else can do it, feel it, run after it and achieve it - FOR YOU.
Now, Many of us in our lives are so bound to family, responsibility, society, community, country, that we forget each one of us has a purpose here on this Earth.
If your not going to fulfil that purpose, I can tell you this, 40 years down the line when your sitting old and wrinkly, alone or with your faithful partner, YOU WILL LOOK BACK and TAKE STOCK of the things you wished and dreamt could have come true but you were too busy. It probably still isn't too late but now you have this wonderful GIFT called AGE and it's only increasing 365 days at a time.
All in All, I feel it's now or never. You either take the plunge on going after your dreams and working hard to get there or this brutal world is just going to pass by and you wont even know it.
The only way to do this is "Never Stop Investing In Yourself". Whatever medium it's through, doesn't matter as long as your doing it knowing deep inside it's surely going to help you achieve.
Of course there are always ups and downs, you might get beat halfway but then you start now and it might just take you a few mistakes to get there, as opposed to waiting for the opportune time (there never is the opportune time) and then making a hundred mistakes before you finally do or do not get what you want.
Sometimes, I love this world, Sometimes I don't. It has much to offer and sometimes it takes away your will to live. Life is such a gift and you and I can only appreciate if we get our worth out of it. Only way we can do that, is if we follow our dreams and achieve the goals we want to.
Good Night, Tisbah-ala-khair, Guten Nacht..
Frieda
