Dreams, reachable or not?

When you were a kid, you dream of things that you would want to have in your life in the future. You dream of being someone. You dream of being successful. You dream of having a family, etc. etc. So what was my dream when I was a kid? I dream of becoming someone who would cure and help people, a doctor. I dream of having a family and having kids. So why did I wrote this blog?? Hmmm, one reason is that I'm thinking if dreams can be reach or they are just left to be just a dream. I am already finished with my school and would want to be a medical technologist or a clinical laboratory scientist. How am I able to achieve it? Do I have to give my dreams for something that is visible, tangible and something that I have now?? A job that somehow keeps me going. A job that I have now because it would help me achieve my other goals or dreams. DO I HAVE TO GIVE UP MY DREAMS FOR THIS?? For some people, they had given up for they think they can't achieve their dreams. I always believe that somehow you should not give up but rather find ways to achieve your dreams. My dad keeps on telling me (when he was still alive) that I should be determine in achieving what I want in life. You can never say that "I can't achieve it" and that "its not for me" but rather try to figure out ways in achieving it. You can at least say that you tried achieving it and pursuing it than doing nothing at all. Sometimes there are dreams that we have to set aside first to be able to achieve it for we have to do something before pursuing it. Maybe I'm just mumbling about my dreams but I kept thinking about it because of the things happening in my life right now. Am I going to achieve or pursue my dreams? How am I going to do that? Who would help me it pursuing it? Now, are you thinking the same thing? What do you think? Go figure!

A CHAT WITH GOD (LESSONS IN LIFE)

God: Hello. Did you call Me?



ME: Called you? No... Who is this?



God: This is GOD. I heard your prayers. So I thought, I will chat.



ME: I do pray. Just makes me feel good. I am actually busy now. I am in the midst of something.



God: What are you busy at? Ants are busy, too.



ME: Don't know. But I can't find free time. Life has become hectic. It's rush hour all the time.



God: Sure. Activity gets you busy. But productivity gets you results. Activity consumes time. Productivity frees it.



ME: I understand. But I still can't figure it out. By the way, I was not expecting You to buzz me on instant messaging chat.



God: Well, I wanted to resolve your fight for time, by giving you some clarity. In this Net era, I wanted to reach you through the medium you are comfortable with.



ME: Tell me, why has life become complicated now?



God: Stop analyzing life. Just live it. Analysis is what makes it complicated.



ME: Why are we then constantly unhappy?



God: Your today is the tomorrow that you worried about yesterday. You are worrying because you are analyzing. Worrying has become your habit. That's why you are not happy.



ME: But how can we not worry when there is so much uncertainty?



God: Uncertainty is inevitable, but worrying is optional.



ME: But then, there is so much pain due to uncertainty...



God: Pain is inevitable, but suffering is optional.



ME: If suffering is optional, why do good people always suffer?



God: Diamond cannot be polished without friction. Gold cannot be purified without fire. Good people go through trials, but don't suffer. With that experience their life becomes better not bitter.



ME: YOu mean to say such experience is useful?



God: Yes. In every term, experience is a hard teacher. She gives the test first and the lessons afterwards.



ME: But still, why should we go through such tests? Why can't we be free from problems?



God: Problems are Purposeful Roadblocks Offering Beneficial Lessons to Enhance Mental Strength. Inner Strength comes from the struggle and endurance, not when you are free from problems.



ME: Frankly, in the midst of so many problems, we don't know where we are heading.



God: If you look outside, you will know where you ar heading. Looking outside, you dream. Looking inside, you awaken. Eyes provide sight. Heart provides insight.



ME: Sometimes not succeeding fast seems to hurt more than moving in the right direction. What should I do?



God: Success is a measure as decided by others. Satisfaction is a measure as decided by you. Knowing the road ahead is more satisfying than knowing you rode ahead. You work with the compass. Let others work with the clock.



ME: In tough times, how do you stay motivated?



God: Always look at how far you have come rather than how far you have to go. Always count your blessings, not what you are missing.



ME: What surprises you about people?



God: When they suffer they ask, "Why me?" When they prosper, they never ask, "Why me?" Everyone wishes to have truth on their side, but few want to be on the side of the truth.



ME: Sometimes I ask, who am I, why am I here? I can't get the answer.



God: Seek not to find who you are, but to determine who you want to be. Stop looking for a purpose as to why you are here. Create it. Life is not a process of discovery, but a process of creation.



ME: How can I get the best of life?



God: Face your past without regret. Handle your present with confidence. Prepare for the future without fear.



ME: One last questions. Sometimes I feel my prayers are not answered.



God: There are no unanswered prayers. At times the answer is NO.





ME: Thank you for this wonderful chat. I am so happy to start the New Day with a new sense of inspiration.



God: Well. Keep the faith and drop the fear. Don't believe your doubts and doubt your beliefs. Life is mystery to solve, not a problem to resolve. Trust me. Life is wonderful if you know how to live."

Numb or Playing Dumb?

We are buddies

We are friends

We do silly things

We laugh at things



We constantly talk

We go around to have a walk

We make funny noise

We make silly voices



Then something changed

I started to tremble

Thoughts of you came rushing in

My mind was rattled by the truth



I like you

I cared a lot

I want to be near you

Just want to have a glimpse of you



It started to bother me more

I started to feel it

It was you, you and you

each and everyday



Then I smiled

I am starting to fall

Slowly and deeply..

I am falling...


Then like a gun that shot me thorough

Like the thunder when it rains

I have fallen..

Fallen in love with you


Now Im thinking are you feeling it too?

Are you in love with me too?

Are you numb?

Or are you just playing dumb?
