Dreams vs Reality

Chapter 2 : life

I believe that you have answered the ten questions and have written 15 things you know about yourself. Congratulations for reaching this chapter. Remember to paste the paper somewhere you see everyday.

Life is simply something we all were deemed fit to be given but how we live it depends on you. Each individual has a way he/ she wants to live their life . Everyone has their own dreams and goals . Nobody was born with a manual on how life works . We are living the way we decide to, nobody tells you how to live your life even though others can try , you sometimes listen , sometimes you rebel loudly and sometimes quietly.At the end of the day you have the power to do what you want

This book doesn't require you to change your life it motivates you to step up your game . It only highlights the importance of taking steps to begin with the life you want now .

Sometimes people say trust the process and your goal shall be reached but something about that statement is that it doesn't tell you that you have to take necessary steps for that goal to be achieved. Trusting the process is tiring it requires a lot of patience one that you seem not to have .

But you are still waiting for your dreams and wishes to come true without any work . Maybe you are expecting magic or something of that sort to happen in your life. Sorry but I have to be the one to burst your bubble and I say that you are living under a illusion if you think magic if it even exist is going to say sit back and watch me make your life absolute perfection. So take this example as proof that dreams without fulfillment are as useless as dog that doesn't bark.

In a village a woman gave birth to two sons . The mother named her sons intelligent and stupid . Their names later defined their level of knowledge , respect in the village and personality. So the other one ended up intelligent while the other one ended up stupid . The intelligent one will come back from school and sit under a tree and dream about all the wonders of life and numbers . His intelligent was unmeasurable , he could solve any equation in his head without a calculator , pen and paper. The stupid one will come back and go behind their hut to build a solar panel. People laughed that he could never get it right and he did fail multiple times. It continued like that until the day the boys passed high school. One day the stupid son built the solar panel and created electricity for his village . People wondered how he did it and the boy said that " achieving greatness doesn't require you to be smart , I had a dream to generate electricity for my whole village and I asked myself how can I fulfil my dream when answered myself I placed my determination and focus in the project and my dream . But my brother had many big dreams but he placed the fulfillment of those dreams in fate and dismissed others ."

The moral of the story is not that you have to be stupid or anything to fulfil your dreams but the moral is that dream but put determination and focus in that dream and don't give up when others think you can't do it . We all have the potential of reaching greatness but it's not through procrastinating and laziness.

Be sure to not waste your time dreaming without fulfilling them. The will never be a better time than the present because the past is no longer ours to change and the future presents new uncertainties but the present is ours to destroy or build.

The decision of what you decide to do with your present is yours whether you choose happiness over anxiety , gaining over losing and love over being used . Only few people care about you and sometimes it takes time to realize who cares but what if I were to tell you that you shouldn't spend your time trying to figure out who is trustworthy because those who don't want to be found , you will not find them .

Don't get to involved in other people ' s business because your true friends will stay behind after you have messed up your life. No one can pretend to love a person for more than 2 years . Your brain will tell you when the time is right and all you have to do is listen to yourself.

You should motivate yourself, make time to do a certain things you desire and dream about. Do things you know you will regret not doing in the near or far future. If you were to live up until you are 85 years old you have only 4435 weeks to live . You do the math to find out about how many weeks you have left if you were suppose to die while you are 85 years old.

But instead of doing something you would want to cherish as a memory you decide to bury your face and focus on your phone not realizing that you have become a slave of technology. My love for birthday was killed the moment I realized that each passing birthday I am running towards my natural death. Imagine everyone is gathered celebrating my step towards my natural death but still dare to cry in my funeral. Humans are complicated creatures.

You might say something along this lines " it's not like I have something else todo" or " I can do it later" . In you head you think you still have never time or you are only procrastinating but the truth is by each passing minute , the closer you get to your natural death. You might see how plants die . If you haven't you should plant one but don't plant it in direct sunlight.

Water the plant for three weeks and procrastinating watering the plant for the following 3 weeks, the first two days the truth will absorb the water left on the soil , the rest of the week it will be fine , the following week it will start wither, the leaves fall off then the plant will start to die slowly but in the following week unplant it , break the branches off , there will be not completely dry. It's not that this story applies to every tree but it applies to certain plants .

What I am trying to convey is the procedure that the plant died . The plant didn't die exactly after you procrastinating to water it while some could die at that moment you procrastinate . Sometimes death is not only physical. People die mentally as well and sometimes it takes time but in other cases it intends to happen faster
