I am sure you must be wondering that the last word in the title is misplaced. But it isn't. "Dream, dream, dream, till you grow big" - says Dr.APJ Abdul Kalam.
We all dream, we have lots of them, but what happens to them over time, where do they go? Do we keep track and race it till we succeed or do we succumb to circumstances and get blown with the wind?
Why is it that we try to be happy with whatever we get, rather than work for what we want to get? This person in me, has a million dreams. Sometimes I fantasize researching on how to make a million copies of myself, each working on one of my dreams. ( parallel processing at work [:)] )Then I come back to reality, about the sweating required to make those dreams true. Within a second I am back, imagining how a successful me would be. I keep oscillating between the reality and fantasy. Here goes the conflict between the mighty LazyMe and the puny Righteous me...
LazyMe: " Wait and watch, Laziness alone begets wonders and innovation"
RighhteousMe: " Ha ha...:) Just as the several innnovations which are borne and dead in your dreams"
LazyMe: "Who said they are dead?"
RighhteousMe: " Tell me one which has grown?"
LazyMe: " They are still growing...they need time"
RighhteousMe: " Dear, it is time to realise raising them is much more arduous than giving birth. Aint it just like the kids?Fantasies in the initial stage are exciting [;)], but then there is long way once you have kids!! "
LazyMe: "But these zillion dreams are all twirling in my mind..getting ahead is very difficult."
RighhteousMe: " Now you come to the point, if only you allow me to preach, here is what i have to say.....
' True there are million desires, but would they all come true? Fine tune your desires, dream of a few, and see them grow. You will need to put in all that you have to make them reality. Nothing happens without sweat and toil. I am afraid you are falling prey to the image of the MightyMe ( the concoction of your zillion dreams ), and feel burdened that you would fall shot of your expectations, and refuse to make the move at all in the first place. Wake up!! "
LazyMe: "I know I have fallen prey to this huge image of myself which is so intimidating and demanding. But, if I realise that, chase a dream, put my heart and soul into it, will i succeed?"
RighhteousMe: "Alas!!! if only it were always a yes!. Today, as i talk to you about this, i carry the burden of failure of the dearest dream that shattered into splinters a while ago. But i haven't got anything left, except hope. We have to draw ourselves up, create a new dream and purpose for our life.
Arise! Awake! And stop not till you reach! "
PS: It took me a year from the time I wanted to blog to the time I actually wrote my first post. One of my several desires have come true. The LazyME has to learn.
