MY DREAM - MY VISION

-


If you would ask anyone out there if they have a dream and aspiration which they yearn to achieve, it is most likely that you will get an affirmative response from each one of them.

But if you were to further ask; what is the vision in your dream? They will begin to stutter, and some would not even have a clue of what is meant by vision, because in reality, everyone dreams but only a very few percentage anchors his dream on a vision.

This is one of those aspects where we all err in the event of pursuing a dream:

Our failure to lace our dream with a vision will make us less determined in the pursuit of such dream and if peradventure, any obstacle comes our way, we will easily give up on our pursuit because we’ve got no vision.

Now, what do I mean by a vision? This will be explained using an analogy of a young guy who so much desired to break through the blessings of wealth (that was his dream).

He worked day and night tirelessly just to achieve his dream. He never considered taking a rest; all he knew was to work because he believed that was his only hope of ever getting rich.

When he was asked why he is so rugged and determined to be rich, he gave an astonishing response that could bring tears to anyone’s eyes:

“I am the first child of my parents, I have four younger siblings, and my parents are pauper (extremely poor). They can’t afford to send my siblings to college (higher institution). I am the only one my siblings look up to, in order to further their education. So, why should I not work to become wealthy, so that my siblings can go to school”.

This is the perfect example of a vision…He had a dream of becoming rich laced with a vision of sponsoring his siblings in their educational career.

You will agree with me that no amount of hostile factor can threaten this guy to give up in his pursuit. 

Even if he sometimes entertain the thoughts of giving up, when he remembers his vision, he will definitely be jolted back into action.

It’s imperative for any determined dreamer to inculcate a vision into his dream because that is what will serve as a pathway towards the achievement of those dreams.

A dream that lacks vision is usually peopled with nothing productive, and it can be most likened to “embarking on a trip to nowhere” or “like a car fueled up, with no mechanical fault, ready to move without being ignited”.

As a writer like myself, our dream is to come up with varieties of productive write ups, but our vision is to inspire people through our write ups, make them realize the hidden fact behind a matter of difference and so on.

So, you see, we don’t just write, rather we write with a vision.

Hey there…Listen up. After reading this short piece, I want you to sit back and have a silent rumination over your dreams to see if it’s anchored on any vision.

If there is a vision in it, write down those visions on a wall or somewhere you will always see it, because that is what will always remind you of how essential those dreams are.

If there is no vision, you need to compliment those dreams with a vision because without them, your dreams are nothing but an empty dream. INCULCATE A VISION INTO YOUR DREAMS.

YOUR PRIDE AND EGO

-

Most times, during the pursuit of our dreams and aspirations, we all become increasingly overwhelmed with ecstasy of joy especially when things start to turn out fruitful for us. This emotional feeling of ecstatic joy most times makes some of us lose track of our sincerity, and sometimes we forget the reason why we want the actualization of our dreams, because we feel we are now on top of the world. Pride and ego therefore secures a permanent apartment in our heart, and we start to have a distorted look at others who are not on the same level with us, forgetting that we also started off from nowhere. We don’t concern ourselves with what people say anymore, we don’t heed to advises anymore because we feel we have gotten to the peak. Sometimes, we nurture our pride and ego to the point that we try to prevent other dreamers from climbing up the ladder of success. We only want all the glory and plaudits for ourselves and we constantly attribute the success we have ...

READ – The first of all commands

Once upon a time, a young noble man was about to be commissioned with an assignment  by the Lord of the Worlds,  that will eradicate all the evil vices that has taken ground on Earth  He was meant to deliver this divine message to the world at large which also entails (the unseen agents JINNS). You will agree with me that, this is the highest and most difficult assignment in the history of mankind. The most interesting fact about this is, on the night when this young man was commissioned with this task, he was commanded as follows; READ! READ! READ in the name of your Lord. This has always caught my attention and got me asking questions. How can the first command towards such a hectic task be to be READ? After a deep rumination and sampling of opinions about this, I got to realize that the idea behind that command was for the young man to seek knowledge before embarking on such hectic task. He did as he was commanded and guess what? He was able to...

ONE BIG FAMILY

Family they say: "are a group of people related by blood" - I say: I disagree with this because the concept of family goes way beyond just being related by blood. Family for me, is an institution that covers a wide range of people who are synonymous in their affairs. They think similarly, they walk same way, they share similar interests and lots of other attributes they share.... These sets of beings are scattered on different surfaces of the earth, and they speak different languages, eat different foods, have different cultures and differences in colors and religions. But guess what, despite all these differences, they still live in the same home which is the One Big Globe  I would say, anyone who doesn't share this home with us, is the one who is not a member of the family. The pathetic fact about this Institution concept is that its members don't perceive themselves as One Big Family, and they anchor their arguments on these   little differenc...
