Voice Of A Dream: Getting From Where You Are To Where You Want To Be

“There is scarcely any passion without struggle.” ~ Albert Camus

It Was the Strong Desire To Know all that there is to know about many things that drove me to begin a dream I enjoy today. I want to know so much about life, suffering, peace, love happiness, relationship, growth, wisdom, struggle etc. I wanted to know why some people swam in affluence while others just wallowed in the mare of a pathetic life.

I Began Asking Questions. Why were things different for everyone on different faces of life? Why do they always have to be so little happiness and satisfaction in most relationships today? Why some people rich and others are poor even if they live in the same neighborhood or grew up together? So much kept running through my mind every time in walked down the road of life every day, so many questions that were not producing soothing answers then.

When I couldn’t find answers to these questions, my thoughts turned toward my own life. As a teen, why was I never making so many decisions? Why did I always want things to be perfect before I accept them? Why did I always have to wait for perfect timings before taking steps in my life? What did I fear most about letting go and moving on? These where questions that began my search to self-realization.

The uncertainty of tomorrow: it was a likely kind of fear many people shared in common but they always try to deny any knowledge of it and say they don’t. This was one thing I saw a huge need to let go in life. I was always worried about the things of tomorrow that the present day reality became a mirage before my very eyes. The uncertainty of tomorrow has always been there, but deciding to keep my focus solely on it made me walk always from tomorrow rather than walking into tomorrow. I was always stagnated.

Not too many people constantly engaged themselves in Willful Thinking. Deep conscious thinking that takes them layer and layer deep into the fabric of reality. Willful thinking which I always call thinking for yourself is one way that helps you see so many possibilities at every given time that a lot of people find hard to discover. It was something that I needed so mjch if I was to make good decisions for my life on daily basis.

Making decisions always provided experience for which you can learn from and instruct others about. Most of the wonderful things I know today came because of many incorrect decision-makings in my life. And you know what? Thought they were incorrect in some way, I became a better decision maker as time went by because I was always getting it wrong and learn never to make the same decision in the same situation again.

Everything I talk about in life today to other people, I didn,t learn most of them through experience. It was just born out of a desire to know lot about everything. The desire to know many “why’s” and “what ifs”. People always want to settle for anything in life, not caring if they like it or not. If you ask a few of them if they do, they respond, “even if we don’t what can we do about it?” they are just satisfied with who they are, what they have, who they are with and so on. But I was never satisfied – Never! I wanted to be good – perfect – trying to be better in attitude than I was yesterday. This led to my many discoveries. I wanted more – I wanted to know by experience!

This I believe could give me better understanding into so many reasons (whys) in the world today. I wanted to know why young people do what they do. I wanted to know why a lot of oldies never find life to be exciting and fun anymore. I wanted to have answers to the many questions of life. I wanted to be prepared to help people as a therapist, counselor, writer, singer- Everything! I wanted to help young people understand life, grow into a life without regret, and complain.

Every time in my head, I saw an angry generation of people who hated who they are, hated what they had, hated what they did, but still couldn’t answer WHY they where kike that ot doing those things. Then again in my head, I saw that if someone was willing to give them answers to the questions they asked with their conduct and life style and behaviors, htye would become happier. I always saw smiling young people. A generation who can talk reality and dissuade the heart from wrong, you can pursue goodly invasion. But ow do I gain insight into the many sorrows people had but couldn’t talk to others about it?

That was what gave birth to voice of a dream. It was what I wanted for voice of a dream. Where people could talk about their hate and bitterness in other to put off their resentment. They will each wear a happy face as they move out into the world again. And this joy on their face becoming contagious and infectious to everyone. This is where I want to be.

“The harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly; it is dearness only that gives everything its value. I love the man that can smile in trouble, that can gather strength from distress and grow.” ~ Thomas Paine
