Let Your Dream Take Flight

Introduction 

Dreams are more than just thoughts—they're powerful visions that ignite purpose, as John C. Maxwell describes. Whether they seem near or distant, pursuing our dreams can transform not only our lives but also our inner selves. 

If you’re ready to find fulfillment and make your dreams a reality, let’s explore why it’s essential to follow them and understand who to share them with for a truly enriching journey.

What is a Dream?

According to John C. Maxwell, a dream is "an inspiring picture of the future that energizes your mind, will and emotions, empowering you to do everything you can to achieve it." According to an article on success.com, he quoted his friend, Sharon Hull's definition of a dream, which is "the seed of possibility planted in the soul of a human being..."

Do You Have a Dream?

If you have a dream, are you already pursuing it? If not, why not? Is it because you're allowing the busyness and demands of life to put your dream on hold? Or is it because you're afraid? Afraid of failure? Afraid of losing friends? Or afraid of being judged? Being afraid makes you feel more alive, so go ahead and pursue your dream.:)

Why Should You Pursue Your Dream?

Pursuing your dreams is essential for personal fulfillment and growth. When you pursue your dream, you'll add meaning to your life. When you go all out to pursue your dream, it makes you feel fulfilled. When you actively pursue your dream, you'll not feel like you've lived your life in vain. And when you pursue your dream with all your heart, it gives you a huge sense of satisfaction.

Why You Shouldn't Share Your Dreams with Just Anyone

Don't share your dreams with just anyone, because not everyone in your life wants you to live your dreams. Why? Because not everyone "believes in their dreams...so when they come to hear about your great vision, they will immediately shoot it down and sometimes even make fun of you." And they might crush your dream or even your spirit, and thereby doing extraordinary damage. 


Conclusion 

Dreams are personal and the journey to realise them is unique to each of us. The pursuit of our dreams is a vital aspect of personal growth and self-discovery. Protect your aspirations, nurture your ambitions and remember that following your own dreams, not someone else's brings you the greatest satisfaction. 

Start today, step forward and keep your focus on the life you envision.

Finding Light in the Darkness: Is Suicide the Answer to Life's Challenges?

Image
Introduction    Suicide is a topic that's close to my heart, because I'd contemplated about ending my life on numerous occasions in the past. Globally, suicide remains a silent crisis, affecting countless individuals and families. Despite the stigma, it’s crucial to have open conversations about it, especially because it often stems from mental health struggles that require understanding and compassion. How Prevalent is Suicide Globally? With over 700,000 people dying by suicide every year globally, this equates to one life lost every 40 seconds. ( https://www.who.int/health-topics/suicide#tab=tab_1 ) This number may be higher due to under-reporting caused by stigma surrounding suicide in many cultures.  ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_suicide_rate )  Suicide is one of the leading causes of death globally.( https://www.who.int/news/item/17-06-2021-one-in-100-deaths-is-by-suicide ) The global suicide rate is about 9 per 100,000 people, but it va...

5 Ways to Overcome Your Irrational Fears

Image
What is Fear? Fear is an emotional state that's evoked by threat of danger. And it's usually accompanied by physiological changes such as increased heart rate, as well as behavioural changes such as avoidance of fear-producing objects or situations. A certain amount of fear is necessary for our own good. That's healthy fear, as I'd like to call it. However, when it becomes irrational, it's no longer healthy and it could do us harm instead.  What is Irrational Fear?   Irrational fear is fear that isn't  situationally appropriate. In other words, it's out of proportion to the actual threat. And it can be a symptom of some mental health conditions , such as PTSD and panic disorder. According to the author of Conquering Fear, an overdose of fear can keep us perpetually tense, emotionally closed and paralysed to the point of inaction.   (Pg 24)  Do we want any of these? Obviously no, right? Therefore, it's important that we recognise signs of fear s...

How to Heal Emotional Trauma

Image
What is Trauma? Trauma is the emotional, psychological and physiological residue that results from heightened stress that accompanies experiences of threat, violence, and life-challenging events.   Types of Trauma Trauma can either be physical or emotional trauma. In the case of physical trauma, it's the result of a serious injury. There are two types of physical trauma: blunt-force trauma and penetrating trauma . In the case of emotional trauma, it can either be acute or chronic. Acute trauma is defined as "the emotional response that happens during and shortly after a single distressing event". And chronic trauma is defined as "a long-term emotional response to prolonged or repeated distressing events that span months or years" . Signs of Trauma Sometimes we may not even be aware that we're suffering from trauma. And sometimes we may think that we're healed when we're not. It could be because we've consciously or subconsciously buried it. So w...
