It’s Okay to Dream, but Dream Big.
Dreams and visions are similar. They come from far away and seem unapproachable. At one point in your life, you might hesitate, doubt your capacity, meet some little men who quench your passion. I dream days and nights. I used to be troubled by them but now I think that’s one of my greatest strengths. I write this article to tell you that it’s okay to dream and it’s possible for your dreams to come true!
It’s great to have a dream. But where are dreams coming from? Is dreaming the chemical reaction in our brain? I don’t think so. It has more than that. I would like to tell you a story about the BFG (Big Friendly Giant). Dreams inhabit the bottles beside a huge tree and the Big Friendly Giant will collect the dreams and send the dreams to humans every evening. I think dreams are coming from somewhere else, a parallel space, an ideal world. They have to be sent to us by some kind of dream messenger like the BFG, but if you don’t open your door for it, or you open your door too little, the dream messenger won’t come to you. On the contrary, if you keep your mind wide open, innovative ideas and visions can come to you. If the idea doesn’t seem to keep you going, you are not “mad” enough.
When you have the ideas, you shall take your chance to grab them. If you also have the passion, it can drive you even further, but you will need to find the right tools to fulfill your visions.
Squirrels are resourceful. (Fig.1) They are community builders. If a family finds a lost squirrel, they will take care of it like their own family member. For your dreams to come true, you can build your community and find the tools. Even if you are a unicorn (Fig.2), you will still need a ladder to reach higher. Your dreams are going to happen, but you will need resources, patience, and discipline.
Now you embark on your journey. You learn from your mistakes and have overcome self-doubts and fear. Your journey will become fun and enjoyable rather than anxious, worrying, thinking you are not good enough or blaming other people. Dreams can connect people. When you learn to dream, you can share them with others, and sometimes they will exchange with you which can enrich your life. The more you share them, the easier it becomes, and you will surround yourself with supportive people who truly admire you for what you are doing. Yet, dreams are ephemeral, like clouds, if you don’t catch it at this moment, the next moment they will be at someone else’s house. Dreams are personal but require help. A few times in my life, when my dream comes true, either it was a huge project or a simple photoshoot, I feel that I was being myself and had supportive people around me.
I hope these articles help you rethink the nature of dreams and how to pursue them! It’s okay to dream and if you do, dream big. If your boyfriend or girlfriend told you to stop dreaming, send him/her this article.
Have a sweet dream tonight!
