(Note: This was something that was meant for school, however I feel that I should share this to my readers.)
Dreams, we all need dreams in order to pursue them. What is it that gets people to strive for something that seems unreachable? Who are the people that can stand up and pursue what was never there? Who are the people that should be truly admired? In this life, there are only three kinds of people that can pursue their dreams. These people are ones who have risen above the impossible, those who have ones they can love, and the one person who have lost everything, yet, still has more than a rich man could ever own!
While we continue to walk this path, we are faced with many trials that would normally break a person apart. There are many of us who have struggled too much and have preferred to just take the easy route. Then there are those who continue to struggle against life; they will always fight on to fulfill the dream they seek. These people are those who already know the precious value of life. These people know what it means to live life. These people understand that one must struggle to attain what one wishes. A dream is only a dream if you don’t work hard at it. If you give up half way through the run, then how are you ever supposed to get where you want to be? Humans are a lot more strong willed than most anticipate. It is the person’s will that’ll help him strive for the impossible. The once intangible will eventually become tangible. Shatter the walls of reality and the goal will finally become visible.
Just as humans are strong, they are weak. Nothing in this world was meant to be left alone. How else then were all these living beings supposed to inhabit such a large planet? Therefore humans too are to depend on each other. If people were to ignore this truth, then what meaning would there be behind the words family and friends? There is not a single place anyone would be able to go if we did not rely on each other. The ones who have reached to the top without the help of others, have they actually experienced happiness? It is those who have worked together with friends and family who will truly be able to experience the blessings of life. After all, in order to really experience such happiness, one has to share it with others. Without doing so, it is all meaningless for it is the loved ones that help one’s self push forward. The ones close to you, the ones who really know who you are, they are the real source of strength for most people. Everyone has their reasons to do what it is that they do. Can one capture a dream by him or herself?
There are those who climbed so high, they felt as though nothing could go wrong. Of course in life, nothing is certain. When all is lost, the mind is at a loss. “What do I do? Where do I go? Who can I trust? When will I find another opportunity?” These are but a small fraction of what a person will think when all has been lost. It becomes difficult to move on when the dream was so close; the dream was so close to being tangible but now it has all crumbled. Even if the dream has crumbled, if one can take a piece of the dream, they can continue to look forward. Nothing is ever completely lost. Along the road, there will always be memories. These memories are invaluable; these memories are truly the items of worth. One must put his or her wishes into the memories they don’t want to forget. These kinds of people are truly one of a kind. Not only does it take courage to be able to stand back up from a high fall, it takes the strength of heart, the strength of mind, and the strength of resolve to continue walking. It’s a lot to demand and most humans are weak. While most are too fearful to admit it to themselves, it is those who can honestly acknowledge this fact in their heart who are strong.
Life is harsh, it is never fair. There are times where one will denounce his god. What are humans to do when they are pushed down into a corner with nothing? The answer is quite simple actually. Stand back up, grit your teeth and walk again towards your dream. As long as it’s still there, it’s still attainable. Moreover, it’s of great importance to have a dream. If one still has that dream, that person can still seek to make that dream tangible. Nothing is impossible. It’s all over the news, it’s in movies everywhere, it’s in books in every shelf. You have the ability to walk forward. You have strength in you. You just need a small little push is all. Even if everything seems impossible, just stand back up! Even if you feel alone, call out to your loved ones! Even if you don’t have the resolve to stand up, don’t have anyone to turn to, or have anything, stand up anyway! Muster up whatever it is that you have left of you and aim high for the sky. Just remember, always look forward.
“Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world.”
