When a dream comes true!

All this while you work hard, trying everything possible to inch closer to that one thing you have always dreamed about …that one thing you have always passionately wanted. Every day, you get up with the eyes set on that one thing, you figure out how everything you alter in yourself may help you to get what you want …reach your destination. It is a constant battle to get better from your earlier self, and it is not easy.

You always imagine how it will feel to finally achieve it …to finally be able to relax and take everything easy. The thought is so satisfying. You want to sit down, take a minute off, enjoy and feel everything around you. But you don’t have time for that …there is always that rush to prove yourself, not only to the world but to your own self. You are constantly running, to reach the finish line.

And you fail in the process. There are so many obstacles in the path that there are days when you want to just let go …give it up! But you fight …you continuously fight. Because you want it that bad! Because it is everything you have always wanted.

Then what happens when one fine day, you actually get it! Yes, you have it. You have achieved it. You have reached where you wanted to. You have made it to the finish line in time. For a minute you are numb, you just don’t know what to do, how to react …because there are just way too many emotions in your mind. You are ecstatic, and insanely relieved, you are proud, and you are confused …confused about what you will do the next day! You did not realize it when you were chasing it, that you have gotten tired …very tired. And now you need rest. A peaceful sleep where you don’t have to worry what tomorrow might bring.

Suddenly you have everyone’s attention …obviously because you have achieved something significant. People who had doubted your potential, are all praises …the congratulatory messages don’t stop. So now you get that long-pending attention. Well, that’s how it is. But you don’t really care actually; you are way too engrossed in getting over the fact that you have nailed it! And nailed it bad!

The people who matter to you have never left your side, they have never waited for any proof to have their faith in you …but you are now glad that you made them feel great. Their happiness is what matters in the end. Everything starts falling in place; it is like you have solved a mystery and now you know all the answers. Everything becomes clearer, merrier and easier. 

But this is not the end, just the beginning. You have to start your run again, this time not to prove yourself, but to develop what you have. As they say, it is a cycle: one thing leads to another; one dream gives birth to another. But the very first dream turning into reality gives you an opportunity to dream again. Dream bigger! Because you know if you can do it once, you can certainly do it again!
