We all have heard this quote many times by motivational speakers. Deep inside we wish to have such a big dream and create a castle in our imaginations. No doubt the a big dream acts as stimulus to push you to work hard, set milestones and achieve something worthy. But what I have learned in recent years, forces me to think about this topic from another aspect.
It's never a good option to always make big and daring goals. Because no one can achieve all of them. Suppose we made a big goal which seemed impossible or somehow close to an impossibility. We left no stone unturned, but met with uncertainties and didn't succeed. Again, we hit by another dream and start working on it as we have also heard " Real champions are those who fell down but come back every time with greater strength". What if we keep on marking extremely high points as our destiny and fail again and again. What would be left behind in that case? Yeah! Surely you will say "Learning". I agree. There is nothing as a failure. Either you will win or learn. But can we say with 100% surety that if at the end, we sat down and recollect happenings of our life and we gather only learnings but not a single victory. Would we be satisfied in that case? Real success is satisfaction and if we are not satisfied what we have got? For satisfaction some achievements must be required along with learnings.
I am not against big dreams, only I am saying that make smart goals i.e realistic and achievable goals. Even if you have some fairy world dreams, thats perfectly fine. But, you can't live in that imaginary world throughout your life. You have to make some other small goals and set milestones. Small achievements build confidence and ultimately help you to achieve your big dream.
ITS OK IF YOUR DREAMS ARE SMALL AND YOU HAVE LESS VICTORIES. DREAMS ARE DREAMS AND THEIR BEAUTY DEPENDS UPON YOUR DEDICATION. THEIR WORTH CAN NOT BE MEASURED BY FAME OR WEALTH YOU GET AFTER PERSUING YOUR DREAMS.
