Dream….In the past every one of us would have dreamt about the life we might have in the future, but do we have the life which we had dreamed about in the past?… Most of your answers will be NO, it's because we have been taught not to chase our dreams as in the process we might lose and end up being a loser in life… So is it so bad to chase our dreams?

THE FEAR:

When we were young, every one of us had our own version of dreams, and am sure everyone wanted to pursue it so bad…. but we had people who would plant the seeds called fear of losing everything in life and ending up as a loser…. They would plant it so deep and water it every day and every second of our life and will make sure we never try to chase our dreams ever in life….

“There are some people who live in a dream world, and there are some who face reality, and then there are those who turn one into the other.”
– Douglas H. Everett

The famous phrases like “what if u don't succeed”, “what if you lose everything u have now in the process”, “what if you realize it was a mistake after many years? wouldn't it be too late”, “dreams are only meant for the rich”, are just enough to convince us not to chase dreams…

“Never limit yourself because of others’ limited imagination; never limit others because of your own limited imagination.”
– Mae Jemison

Now, am dam sure every one of us is waiting for a chance to time travel and get back to the time when we had the chance of chasing our dream and living the way we wanted to live our life…..

DREAMS DO COME TRUE:

Dreams do come true for the ones who don't fear chasing their dreams in life…There will be thousands of people stopping you from not chasing your dreams but above all, it's your dream and you do have the right to chase it till the very end no matter what the result may be….NO person or fear should be able to stop you from chasing your dreams or living your life the way you wanted to live….

Yes, dreams do come true but the journey and the process won't be an easy one!… If the journey was easy then everyone would have been chasing their dreams…. People who are tough and strong-minded are the ones achieving their dreams in life…Having a dream doesn't matter, working hard and staying in the process till the dream comes true is what matters the most….

“The only thing that will stop you from fulfilling your dreams is you.”
– Tom Bradley

In the process of achieving your dreams, you will fail and you will have a tough period which you never wanted to have in your life, but just hang there in the process one day or another you will achieve what you have always wanted to achieve….In this process what is most required is hard work and some patience, these two are the main ingredients in preparing the dish called SUCCESS….If failing makes you feel bad then just remember not even trying feels so much WORSE!….

“Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try Again. Fail again. Fail better.”
– Samuel Beckett

So, My dear readers, It's never too late to start dreaming or to start chasing your dreams!… So just stop worrying and start to live your dreams and your life in the way you wanted it…
