What Kills Your Dreams ?
The reason behind regrets
There are lots of homeless people in Toronto and some of them are quite peculiar in their own ways. One day as I was walking on Front Street outside of Union Station I noticed a homeless person out there. He has set up a tent on the street and is mostly seen there whenever I visit that part of the city. It may come off strange but I have developed a strange admiration for that homeless man because of one reason. Most of the homeless person are seen begging for money, some for food and some even for drugs. However, that one homeless person is never seen begging I never even saw him speak and he is only seen doing one thing that is painting. He has colors in his hands, a brush and some makeshift canvases where he paints all all the stuff and displays it outside his tent.
Now the thing that amazes me most is I don’t think he ever has money for next meal but his mind is not on his next meal his mind has ideas and his only focus is to bring those ideas to life no matter what. It doesn’t matter if he don’t have a roof over his head or next meal he has his ideas, some art supplies and a passion with which he is obsessed to such extent that his hunger for food does not bother him as his hunger to paint his canvas.
Now the reason why I brought this man up is because of his will and his passion. That is a person who has not given up on himself even when society consider him a sub human. He has kept his dream alive even in the worse circumstances.
A Remainder To Myself
Now the question arises why do we give up on ourself? I mean if you can read this article then surely you are living better than that homeless man and have more resources and opportunities. What I’m saying is nothing new it has been told hundreds of times. I’m only writing this article to mainly remind myself and also people who are reading this, one thing that, We only have one life which is passing us by at every second of each day. We are never getting it back which is a scary thought but on the other hand also a remainder that alerts us that this life is way too short for not doing what we really want to do and instead doing what the circumstances pushes us into.
Death Of Dreams
Death is inevitable and not something to be feared it part of nature but death of dreams is a curse that many people bear it is suicide of one’s consciousness you can breathe but not call yourself alive if your desire to be a better self has extinguished. My ambition and my ideas have been pushing me even as a kid. I always had so many Ideas that I want to bring to life one of them was having a website of my own where I present my thoughts. So much more also and great things take time to come to life and I am working to bring them to life. However still, my biggest fear is to die as a pile of ideas that only remained inside my mind a wasted potential. But like most fears this one is also imaginary but has been pushing me along with the joy of creating. And all of us can have whatever we want, you just have to:
Keep your dreams alive let yourself be delusional as long as you are taking steps to fulfill your dreams.
