Let’s Draw a Dream

Posted by kris on January 14, 2008

Somewhere at the close of 2007, I was given a certain choice to change my life and frankly, the thought consumed me from then… right up till now infact.

Many a nights I stayed awake thinking, pondering, musing, lamentating…

Where am I going with what I am doing now? The weather is going awry as we live our lives, empires threatening its own downfall, gentleness comes a little harder as the years go by and now the New Year is here and there isn’t a single resolution I have come up with before then… until I was presented with this choice.

Nothing has happened yet because I lack the necessities to bring about its occurance. Which is the reason why my resolution has come to be for this year. And I have never had anything much to work forward to until this. I had always thought that alot of the things I’d do would come to a dead end. But this is different, and come hell or high water, I WILL make it different this time.

Whispers of what I long for lingers at the edge of my dreams before I wake. Has anyone ever found out the conclusion to the dream they dream? Has anyone ever completed their dreams?  With dreams come the desire in me to find its destination, where it is to take me and where I’ll end up to be…

I’ve recently met up with a few key people in my recent life who came to open my eyes and heart about what really matters. Through our quiet and unassuming conversations over coffee and tea, their insights to the life the way they have lived it gave me hope that there is much to be earned by being brave. Bravery is something that has to be grown from the inside… It doesn’t just fall into one’s lap. This is the opportunity to go out and look for it. It waits beyond there, that we’re daring enough to dream and find what lies beyond just images or imagination.

Be the change you want to see in this world, someone said.

Once you’re comfortable with where you are & what you do, it’s time to move on, another said.

Who cares what they think? What matters is what you know yourself to be, the last one echoed in my head.

I promise you I will work towards it, to all the people who believed in me and gave me strength to find the bravery I need to carry on. I owe my imaginations, my aspirations, my dream, my hopes, my love to all of you.
Let us all draw a dream.

Let us all find the courage to follow it.

And may we all achieve that which our heart and soul most desire, to all good things that will make us better people for everyone else.

Cheers to you all & May you have a great New Year from start until the finish :)
