Dream chasers

A journey of a thousand mile starts with a single step.

She speaks of dreams like its a forgotten chapter in the life’s manual. But that gives us all the reason to speak of it more. For when we were little, we knew little, but we dream more. As we grew, we knew more, and dream little.

There was a little chapter in her life’s book, it reads- Unfulfilled Dreams- as the title. Yes, there are some dreams which goes unfulfilled. Yes, I am a believer of dreams, I believe that if you believe in something so bad, go for it. But there are times when some dreams have some other things attached to it, sometimes its other people, sometimes the time just isn’t right, sometimes, we give it up for the better.

As you write the pages of your life, there are times, that you can’t help but turn the pages back. And see all that remains of it are just unfulfilled hopes and desires. And its difficult not to wish all of that came to pass. Yes, we are grateful and blessed for all that we have, for all that we have achieved and all the things money cannot buy. But that lingering feeling of what if things were different.

She knows, maybe you do too, that there is a time for everything and for everything there is a time. We may know the time of the day, and the season of the year, and our timeline on earth as we live each day. But there is a great Timekeeper who knows the times and seasons of our life. Although knowing this raises hope and faith but that isn’t going to diminish the feeling we have about the dreams that are still in our heads and not a reality.

History maker.

I never got to wrap my mind around what that actually means. For it seems like it carries so much meaning then just living and building a past to reminisce about. How do you make history when its something that is no longer the present? I didn't know until now.

Someone said live today like there is no tomorrow, and dream as if you have a long time to live. Instead she learnt this, live today as if all the unfulfilled dreams and desires in the past are better off remained as just dreams because in reality you are so much more than what could have been if that dream were to come true. A history maker changes the course of history by writing it. So the only way to change the direction of the where your past is leading is by living differently now. But that’s just about changing your history. What if you lived for a greater cause, imagine what greater history you might make.

Make all that broken dreams seem like its best broken, for where you are now might not be where you would have been should that dream turn into reality. A journey of a thousand mile starts with a single step, take that step with the Timekeeper, for time is in His hands. After all, He Himself made and is still making history.

So dream chasers, turn around, walk to your broken dreams and thank God its broken, because right now, you’re a history maker. Live for a greater cause, desire for greater things and make history. Don’t stop dreaming, there’s where the unimaginable starts looking not so impossible.

The world is waiting.

Blessed Christmas and have a Rocking New Year.
