Dreams

Have you ever wondered why you persist in something, even if it causes you so much unhappiness? The responsibilities you have to fulfill, the expectations you have to live up to, and the goals you have to achieve probably has stopped you from quitting. Do these responsibilities, expectations, and goals outweigh happiness?

I think they do, but only if you have a dream. Dreams allow you to perceive fulfilling responsibilities as a noble thing, expectations as an affirmation of your capability and aptitude, and goals as an aspiration and something unimpossible that you can work towards to. Most importantly, the process towards fulfilling responsibilities, living up to expectations and achieving goals no longer becomes a chore, but rather, a challenge that fills you with adrenaline, and you will also find joy and peace in this process.

My dream is to dream. What's yours?
