Chasing dreams or Getting Lost

Just checked in at Terminal 3 with Ash and his brother.

Having a light breakfast while awaiting for our flight.

Enjoying the serenity of Changi Airport at this wee hour.

Slowly reflecting back on life and how the last two years of real 'adult' life have been.

What are dreams?

Dreams gives everyone a purpose in life.

Everyone has dreams, goals, aspirations, ambitions whatever we want to call them.

In our own minds we have an idea of how our life will be in perfection if we achieve those dream. 
We normally know our dreams even at a young, innocent age but not many give much thought on ways in achieving them most of the time.

I mean how we gonna achieve getting that dream job or living that dream life we had always thought about?

In pursuing our dreams, the struggles and effort plays an important role.

Words such as sacrifice, hate, love, anger and confusion are common when chasing those dreams.

 Not everyone is 'lucky' enough to be working in their ideal job or living their dream life.

Simply put it, reality can be a harsh bitch and it isn't always sunshine and rainbows.

As working adults, we  can't deny that many of us share the goal of career success and progression.

A goal which to many working adults allows us to become more independent and give ourselves and parents a worry-free life.

Not to mention ensuring that the people who have sacrifice so much for us when we young, our parents, are provided with the same or even better quality in living and comfort.

In other words, our quest in  chasing the 'dream' to do what we desire and love, should be done responsibly.

There aren't any shortcuts in achieving our definition of success.

They may be some luck involve but if lady luck ain't shining on you, working hard or smart is probably the way to go.

In my experience, many people love blaming it on society norms or rat-races stopping them from achieving their goals or screwing up their lives.

Of course i am not daft enough to believe, everyone is a lazy ass.

Some of us with a less fortunate background really have it hard and sometimes life really beats you down.

Even so, many such individuals have risen through the ashes and pushed beyond the obstacles and succeeded in their endeavors and goals and become inspirations to us all that sometimes all you sometimes need is the heart, soul and mindset.

On the other hand there are indivudials, who have lived life which may not have been full of luxuries but far from anything that anyone can describe as miserable.

Some individuals will use any excuse that they spend their 'valuable time' thinking off in an effort to justify their laziness.

They want the results but not a even an ounce of effort, whether its from working hard or smart was or will ever be given.

Playing the blame game is an easier solution when the going gets tough because you know actually putting in any effort is 'over-rated'.

Sometimes you really wonder if any part of them were ever true to their ideals and principles in actually succeding to achieve what they envision at the start.

Understandbly, its up to an individual how we want and how much effort we want to put in to make our dreams reality.

Our mindset and principles motivates us to always push ourselves further.

Without a motivated mindset and sound principles the battle for our achievement is already lost.

Its sad to see the rise in the number of individuals in society who only interested in finding excuses, blaming the universe or just playing on sympathy in trying to achieve their goals.

It sad to see how these individuals have degraded the word 'dreams'.

A beautiful word that millions have look to for a life of aspiration, inspiration and motivation.

It has given many people meaning to life and allows us to aspire to  push the boundaries set on us and be better or more successful.

2 years have passed since i started my journey in achieving my personal goals and dreams.

Adult life has it ups and downs, the same with any phase of life. I have cried, laugh, smiled, sulk but my determination to achieve my dreams has always motivated me to keep pushing my limits and boundaries.

It is my biggest motivator. Without it life would be meaningless.

There would be no purpose and we would all be lost in these immense universe.

Achieving the dreams and goals i set means i do not go looking for excuses, i go looking for tools and skills to build my vision.

Its good to dream ................................................................................................................................ just make sure you are in the right direction.

OK! Time to go over to the boarding gate.
America, see you in 20 hours time!
YAY. HOLIDAY STARTS NOW!!!
