Dream On, Dear Soul...🔮

"A dream is a wish your heart makes.💫" Walt Disney

ONE: Ask a toddler, what is your dream... I wanna chocolate when I blink my eyes... And an icecream everyday! (Short term view, simple wish)

TWO: Ask a little older kid,  thy may tell you their dream to get the favourite race car toy or an avenger superhero or a princess doll or a beautiful dress! (Medium term view,  requires some patience and effort)

THREE: Ask a teenager,  thy may dream to become a pilot or an astronaut or a doctor or an officer or something! (Long term view,  requires plan, effort,  dedication)

FOUR: The Young Adults. Chasing the life milestones. Getting OUR educational degrees, jobs, finding life partners,  marriage,  children, buying house, cars, building income... Rush-hush! (Say living the present, making achiebable plans,  putting continuous effort and engagement, till accomplished)

What next?  We grow-up and begins- The reverse journey!!!

FIVE: (Similar to and in continuation to FOUR) The Adults. Coming at ease with the chase, and fixing a few missing pieces. Doing the left-outs of milestones fixed earlier. Begining to round up.

SIX: (Similar to THREE) To the above trend that follows, by middle age we may have dreams of Life ahead... But now the priorities change! To settle kids, get them educated, married, support them in stabilising their career,  finances,  family and day-to-day life...

SEVEN: (Similar to TWO) A little OLD, around retirement, many elderly may head towards fulfilling actual (concerned with own-self) life dreams post completing the worldly responsibilities... Taking up hobbies,  travelling,  meditation, gardening, enjoying life!

EIGHT: (Similar to ONE) Quite OLD...😈 Keeping simple, do-able dreams,  finding happiness in smallest of things, even doing your own stuff without others help seems achievement...

And then there is another set of people we find... The ones who will say I don't have time to dream,  nor I have any dream... 😯😐😦 Oops! But I really can't  believe this, and if at all its true, its sad.😟 It's just intentionally picking up a "Limited Edition" of your own life,  robbing yourself away of all miraculous possibilities and the unexplored beauty of life that lies ahead. How can a heart stop wishing?  It may be a simple wish,  like that of a kid,  but it just can't be so empty... No desires?  Even the saints are guided by a desire, to lead the way of life they do!!! Only when a seed is sown,  we may hope to see a plant, provided all other necessary conditions prevail.

A wish is that seed, sown in the heart♥ ... An innocent one, not knowing if it can ever come true or not!  Till the time it is not fulfilled,  it stays as a desire in your heart. This desire is especial,  to be called a dream because of two reasons:

a) it involves fatal risk, never to even shape up because its still just a wish and no ground work has been done; and more importantly....

b) it has full potential that if ever fulfilled, it will bring immense happiness and satisfaction, compared to none.

As soon as we realise that this desire is no longer just a small wish,  but our dream,  the dream of life... Its time to stirr up, and begin the chase. The chase begins with defining a specific goal (time bound, measurable), followed by a blueprint- a strategy to aim for the stars step by step...  Soaring higher, nearing your dream every moment. As we grow up,  our view changes from immediate or short term to long term / futuristic plans, then back to the simplicity of life, but it can never stop us from dreaming. And why should we ever stop? It's never too late,  and we are never too old to dream... and nevertheless, it takes you one step closer to the purpose of life 🌀(vague to most of us, but exists!) by keeping you moving.

"Reach high, 

for stars🌟 lie hidden in your soul.  

Dream deep🌠,

for every dream precedes the goal."

-Pamela Vaull Starr

So, Dream On, Dear Soul...🔮 For simple reasons, like, it keeps you meaningfully engaged. It brings up your creativity... And because if you don't have a dream,  how will you ever experience the joy of making a dream come true💥!!! Tinkle Tinkle✨...  Stay Blessed 🌟⭐💫
