Chase Your Dreams

We are living in an era in which every individual has the courage to reach for the stars, and yet are there a few who still let go of their dreams to make people around them happy or because of waiting hesitations?

Here I dedicate this to all the folks who hesitate to aim for their dreams and to all who wait to make decisions. I am jotting down my thoughts from what I have learnt in the short span of my life’s journey.

At some point of time in your life, you would have been in a dilemma about making a decision. Quiet naturally you think of seeking advice from someone older because you feel you are not old enough to know the do's and don’ts. When you realize that you have finally grown up, you would be left with a list of dreams you have let go. Call yourself blessed, if it is possible to come out of your mistakes or if you get another chance to make things right. The things that can’t be changed hang on to you till your last day, and you move on wishing (not hoping) of either going back to those days to change the way things went or of a day in the future when you will set things right. And you just keep wishing, because you can not do anything about the things over which you lost control…so you keep wishing.

One ultimate truth is that, nobody lives your life for you; you got to live it for yourself. So, why not be the ruler of your life and take a step forward to reach for your dreams. People learn from situations and only experiences teach you the right thing, so what if the person to whom you approach for advice is not the right person because he/she has not faced a similar situation? Then there you go, committing a blunder because of someone else’s inexperience. For every doubtful decision you have to make, just live the present and ask your heart what it wants and whether it really wants it, and if the answer is “Yes”, then go ahead and do it - you at least live a while doing what you really want in life.
