The Price of Not Having A Dream

Such a great title, never thought that without a DREAM so many things can happen to one. But its so true. Many people go through lives without thinking about their LIVES! Why are they doing what they are doing? Some dont even care whether they live or die cause they have no reason to.

I have just heard a story about a man who at the age of 15, was a drug addict, smoker, became an armed robbery and burglar. What was he thinking about – you may ask? Well, precisely…nothing. He was merely living because he is alive. He is living day by day and week by week, and so on. He had NO REASON whatsoever to LIVE. BECAUSE???? He doesnt have a DREAM!

Well, he was caught and jailed…but someone gave him a second chance. This person, his new teacher, had a DREAM for him…

Quite some years passed by, and again at the age of 30, he was shot at a robbery and at this point in time, as he told his story of how much blood he lost and so on, he mentioned that the only thing he knew was HE WILL LIVE….coz he has a DREAM…

DREAMS are important to everyone of us. Without DREAMS, we are LIVING dead. Take a moment now and just pause…..think about YOUR life….what are you doing right now? Are you living your life or you are just living dead? are you doing the things you are doing because everyone else is doing it? or you doing it because you enjoy it and you know the PURPOSE of doing it?

There is much more to life if you are willing to BELIEVE.
Napoleon Hill said ” What a mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve”

It is so true, many a times we all have ideas and thoughts that how our lives should be – but again, many of us will comfort ourselves and say nah….those are for the rich, we must be content…and you know why we have such thoughts…because we LACK FAITH and we dont BELIEVE!

Well enough for today…gotta go

True Self

I have been learning a lot about knowing our True Self (some call it Authentic Self, The Real Person Within You, Inner Child, etc). Whatever it is call, it’s the same – its the True Person within You…who you are from the day you were brought into this world. The Person Inside You who is happy and excited and destined to be great in life.

Along the way, we all got corrupted with negative messages and got “huge” bashing from people around us that we now have a distorted or fictional* Self. We were given negative programming or even programming with information which may not be Truth but we accepted as Truth, which now becomes our beliefs and govern the way we make decision, interact with people, response or react to people, our attitude and behaviors and finally, our current position in life.

Many of us do not take the time for ourselves to think through whether our certain thoughts, behaviors, beliefs – whether they are actually Truth.

We all want LOVE and we are all LOVING creatures, but why sometimes, we meet certain people (including ourselves at times) who refused Love. This is because of our distorted view of things that we have allowed to corrupt our beliefs and understanding of Love.

Today, I ask that you take at least 15 minutes off every morning, just reflect, are you really happy? Are you the True You or you just projecting the You for others to accept you or because it is expected of you? If you are not happy, please take time out to listen to your True Self who is desperately reaching to you, wanting to tell you how to be the REAL you.

I know what I wrote may sound a little confusing at the moment. But take time to reflect, and you may find the Truth!
