We dream of the life we always want – the life we dream… and how differently we live the lives we have. Maybe we imagine the things we will own, the places we will go and the people we will share them with. But what keeps these dreams remaining merely dreams? Most of us are too afraid to make those dreams a reality – maybe because of the hard work involved, or the risks that have to be taken, or maybe, we’re afraid of failure. Because when these things are our dreams, they are safe there, and we don’t have to face the disappointment of losing them and realizing that they were not attainable.
Everyone talks about following their dreams, of making ‘it’ happen and living the life of your dreams. But how many of us are brave enough to do just that? Why is there such a gap between where we are and where we want to be?
We find songs with the most beautiful lyrics depicting images of just this. Movies made where the characters search high and low and end up walking into the sunset, content that they have found their happily ever after. If it can be imagined, it must be able to be done.
