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.
