YOUR DREAMS HAVE NO EXPIRY DATE
It is that time of the year when most of us subconsciously rewind the tape of our life
with reference to the year gone by. We certainly do fondly recollect the good events
and at times, we may also painfully remember the hard times that passed us by.
However, what we dwell on often are the numerous lost opportunities, the chances
we did not take, the actions that we could have done differently and possibly got
another outcome and the slow motion picture of the broken new year resolutions, the
plans that never took off and the remorse of having wasted our time either because
we didn’t get around to chasing our dream or because our dream didn’t materialize
despite our best efforts.
It is easy to brood. Easier still is to give up on our dreams. So then we decide that
making New Year Resolutions is a waste of time an exercise in futility or we
rationalize that it is a silly custom or idea. If at all we get down to writing some
resolutions we might resolutely decide not to add any of the previous year’s
unfinished work since it brings back painful memories. That leaves us with broken
dreams, unfulfilled hopes and a sense of regret and frustration. Fortunately time is a
great healer. It is also a great leveler. Far more important is the fact that we are
blessed with an imagination and can dream bigger and if we commit ourselves to
realizing this dream you can do it. Dreams have no expiry date so no matter what
age you are, no matter what the size of your dream, no matter what impediments
you visualize along the way; if you write down your dream and commit it to it and
start working on attaining it, you will wake up and live your dream.
Define and develop your dream – Having a wish or a hope is merely making
castles in the air. To have a realistic dream one has to define it in terms of a tangible
goal and develop it by outlining all the intermediate steps that one has to progress
through before realizing the dream. The more vivid the dream the more purposeful
and realistic it becomes for there is shape and structure that one can identify with.
Doing well in an exam is too vague as compared to having an aim of scoring 80%.
When the later is clearly defined, it is relatively more easy to outline the steps
required to reach it.
Revise and reorganize your plans – While one must be largely rigid and hold
fast to the dream one has, one must make allowances for changes around,
unanticipated hiccups, a drastic change in the assumptions made and even revision
forced by pragmatic considerations. While the goal is not to be diluted or changed
the means to the goal could undergo a major metamorphosis. This is merely to
ensure that one is realistic and in tune with the circumstances prevailing.
Expect and experience difficulties – Even the most well laid out plans may not
go as expected. There will be delays, obstacles, confusion, differences of opinion,
dilemmas to be resolved along the way. This is to be expected because life is never
linear and we need to adapt to the flow. Experiences will prepare us better to meet
bigger emergencies and also sometimes assist us in reframing our path or
expanding our goal.
Act and attain progress – Paralysis by analysis is a common refrain. This
happens because most times we try to ensure perfection in plans, little realizing that
this is an oxymoron. The key to attaining anything in life is action. By initiating the
action we begin our quest to glory. Action is painful, it requires effort, it needs
sustainace and most of all it means commitment. As a couplet goes’ Sitting still and
waiting makes no person great; the good lord sends the fishing, but you must dig the
bait.
Make and meet success – Dreams are not realized by accident; they are to be
made by dint of good planning, hard work and complete commitment. You meet your
dreams not when asleep but when you awaken to the reality that you have built it.
Even as you read this post many thoughts are swirling in your mind. Some may find
the post inspirational, others mere shrug it off as one amon many such
proclamations, others may have more to say and many would want the learning from
the post to work for them. The question is ‘What are you going to do after
reading this?’
Try these:
• Make a list of last year’s New Year Resolutions that you never attempted or
didn’t progress in any worthy manner. If you haven’t even made any resolutions
last year make a list now.
• Commit yourself to one social service resolution. Now work out a plan to
ensure that you spend at least 20 days in a year in pursuit of that goal. If
possible also outline what you expect to achieve when pursuing this goal, by the
year end Dec 2016.
• Is there a change you plan to bring about in your habits / mannerisms / style
of functioning / relationships that you hope will make you an even better person?
Outline the steps you propose to bring about this change in you.
