That Moment

“This! This is what I want to do. This is what I am supposed to do. It’s what makes my mind go into a full-blown overdrive of frenzy and gets me excited.”

Ever have these moments?

If you have, then you are a lucky person. Not that luck has much to do with how your life will turn out because as they say, “you make your own luck.”, you do. But whenever you have a moment like this, a moment of self-realisation of such a magnitude, consider yourself lucky and hold on to that blended feeling of invincibility and happiness of such a moment.

Hold on to that feeling because, on your journey to achieving your goal, you will feel the grind and the pain that hard work can sometimes put you through. But even through all that, you will finally feel free, as if your life is finally your own and going through the hard times is a choice you made for yourself.

You know, when you see that incredibly inspiring thing which lights a fire of invincibility within you, always think to yourself, somebody out there went through all that hard work and struggle that you will have to go through someday. That same someone is the reason you got the “this is so meant for me” feeling. They must have started at the bottom to get to where they are today. So, you can too.

Writing all this in a way that makes it seem as if anything is achievable, might make me come across as someone too naive who hasn’t been beaten down enough by the world yet. But then, isn’t that cynicism? Maybe, similar to the likes of the women who feel too ashamed of feminism today, to call themselves feminists, the romantics feel ashamed of being called “Romantics” even though deep down that is who they really are. What if there are just too many cynics in the world today to make the romantics feel insecure? Perhaps that is just the way the world is supposed to work, two conflicting opinions resulting in the conception of a third kind of opinion that is standing smack down on the line instead of being on either side of it.

Therefore, whenever you feel that drive of being able to do what it is that truly excites you, hold onto it. For in times of uncertainty, that is what will inevitably give you direction.
So just believe that you can do anything you set your mind to. If Eminem can believe it, then so can you.

Just dream realistically about where you want to get. At the same time, never let anyone tell you that you are dreaming too big. It is highly doubtful that the ones judging you on the basis of your dreams will even have any particular dreams of their own half the times. You are way ahead of such people by having figured out what you want to do and where you want to get. As for how you shall get there, that is where the Dream Realistically part comes in.
On the way to your ultimate big dream, set small goals. These small goals will be the buildup to your big dream. Achieving these respectively will give you the confidence to see more and more achievability in your ultimate dream.

So, keep dreaming!
