Is it too late to dream?

Disclaimer– this article ended up being super long, but I hope it helps you guys even in the slightest way!

Hello everyone! 

Dreaming is for everyone, and in my personal opinion our dreams are what makes us who we are. What’s crazy about dreams is that each and everyone of us have one even though some of us just don’t realize it. 

The thing about dreams are that some can be so crazy and big that it could be out of your comfort zone and too crazy to come true. I kid you not- the kind of dreams that keep you on your toes and make you scared are the ones that keep you up late night thinking about them.

Having dreams is not childish, or even stupid. Dreamers are the ones who are crazy enough to think beyond their comfort zones and if they are even crazier- beyond what anyone else have thought about before. If you had ever met a dreamer in your life, you could see how passionate they are about them. What makes dreams so addictive and mesmerizing is still a mystery, but I guess it’s all a part of its charm.

Growing up, I was lucky to be raised in a family that constantly told me that the sky was my limit. However, even if this is not the case, you should never let your present affect your future. No one can ever stop you from dreaming big and your current status should not define how big or small your dreams can be. You are in charge of how you can change your future. This is exactly what a dream does. Not everyone dreams of the typical “I need to be rich” dream and that’s okay. If your dream is to open a charity one day- you do you and go ahead. What makes an idea a dream and then a reality is what you are willing to do to make it happen.

One saddening thing that I have seen in a lot of people are that they tend to forget their dreams along the way and deviate into things that settle into their current lifestyle. This should not be the case and truly, it is so sad. Once a dreamer, always a dreamer right? 

So what really does make people forget their dreams and settle for what they are been given with? 

From what I have seen people just get too comfortable. It’s the same for you and I. If our life gets a little easier even by the tiniest bit we just tend to “cherish” that good feeling a bit longer. Feeling like this will drag and “a little longer” will turn into days, weeks, months and finally years. I’m not saying that you shouldn’t celebrate small achievements. You must. But dwelling in that success won’t help you get into your final goal. You achieved something- that’s great! celebrate it a little and be mindful not to give your self into it too much. If your dream means to you as much as you say it does, then take the next step and move forward.
