LIVING WITH UNFUFILLED DREAMS

LIVING WITH UNFUFILED DREAMS
Having a vision, or a dream, is inherent in human. what is your dream? what do you imagine yourself doing? what do you want to accomplish? Are you  doing what you really want to do in your life?
   Maybe you once had ideas of what you wanted to be and do, and you still have those ideas. Do you see yourself becoming a lawyer and starting your own firm? Do you  dream of owning a successful boutique where people are waiting in line to buy the fashions you designed? Do you think of owning a day-care center that has a first-class curriculum and services two hundred children? Do you want to write a novel? Do you imagine yourself owning a prosperous business and able to give more money to your church? Do you dream  of going back to school and doing something with your education and academic abilities?
  By the end of the work week, many of us are very tired. The question is, after exhausting ourselves, are we closer to where we wanted to go? people have all kinds of ideas in their minds but rarely act on them. This is the pattern that often occurs five or ten years will go by, and they still haven't done anything to help realize their dreams. Twenty years will pass, yet they haven't become what they really wanted to be or accomplished what they wanted to be or create.
      While the poorest person in the world is a person without a dream, the most frustrated person in the world is a person who has a dream but doesn't know how to bring it to pass. This is a person whose dream has become a nightmare of unfulfilled expectations. When people feel that they are just wondering through life and wasting their potential, their despair can spill over into other areas of their lives, including their relationships causing additional heartache. These people come to the end of their lives drained, rather than completed, because their is no relationship between their jobs and their visions; there's no relationship between their present circumstances and their dreams.
     It's depressing and frustrating to have an idea for years that you haven't yet seen come to pass. Are you weary of high expectations that never  work out? Maybe by now you have so many unfulfilled dreams that hurts too much to dream anymore. Perhaps you have started to pursue your vision, but you got sidetracked or something went wrong, and you abandoned it -there wasn't enough money, it was too time- consuming, people were working against you, your day job became too demanding, or your  family said it will never succeed. Since continuing to pursue your dream was so difficult, you backed out saying "Forget it !I'm not trying to be what I really want to be. I'm going to get a 'regular job' with a secure salary and settle down. I'm going to live as a normal person with normal friends in a normal house with a normal paycheck and be buried in a normal grave.
       You will never be satisfied that way because you were not created to be "normal".
