Waking up from our dreams

Greetings steemians

Today was actually short, I barely noticed the day had turned to night, been very busy as usual and I don't even have time for myself. Well today was special I dreamt!

It's funny because I barely do, I just took a nap but I guess I slept for an hour enjoying my dream especially when there's food that I end up not eating😁😁.

I actually dreamt I was fulfilled, everything I always wanted, becoming real. I had to invite my girlfriend because she was a part of it, she jokingly said something that hit me hard, she was like "Baby, all this things you dreamt of would remain a dream if you don't wake up". 😱😕😏

What is a dream?

A dream is a series of images, events and feelings that happen in your mind,a wish or hope, or a goal you wish to attain,everyone when asked; have something they want to achieve in life, but a dream remains a dream when one is still asleep.

It will remain in your mind until you wake up before it becomes a reality, likewise the dream you are nurturing in your heart it won't just materialize out of the blues you have to work on it becoming a reality, you have to set goals, work hard at attaining them and you have to be zealous, devoted determined and faithful if you want your dream to come true.

In the process of making your dream come true you will face a lot of things and you'll also need a lot of things,you will face a lot of challenges on your way to fulfilling your dreams, friends may desert and discourage you, family might disappoint you, but your passion should be the drive that keeps you going to achieving your dreams, while you will also need mentoring;those before you have also had one experience or the other and they'll be able to guide you against some mistakes you might be prone to, and when you do fall into mistakes you should learn from them. You'll face failure so many times but don't give up!

Most of the successful men and women of today, if you asked them they'll always have something to say, they all faced challenges but they never allowed those challenges to stop them, they rather allowed it to be a ladder they climbed to the top like someone rightly said "mistakes shouldn't be an excuse to stop, it should be a reason to continue"

Jennifer and her parents had just moved to Ilorin, kwara state, she was just 15 and was nurturing a dream of becoming a lawyer,but not quite long she met a guy who told her he loved her and would marry her, been a naive girl as she was she fell for him and soon she got pregnant and her parents were devastated and disappointed at what happened, but she was never discouraged as soon as she weaned her child she obtained JAMB form and studied hard to pass and luckily she gained admission into the university of ibadan to study her dream course, 5 years later she was called to bar and became a qualified lawyer in Nigeria.

Jennifer never allowed her mistakes stop her dream, she didn't keep her dream a dream, she turned into reality, she didn't live the rest of her life telling people about a dream that wasn't fulfilled. Don't just say it,make it happen, work towards it.

Many people would say I want to be Bill gates of my generation but they are sleeping all day or waiting for parents to send them money else they are broke,they try and some point give up saying its not meant for me, I guess the dream was just my thoughts joking with me, imagine Bill gates slept like you are doing now or gave up, do you think he would be who he is today, same goes to all the rich men and women in the world today, they also had a dream but they woke up, that's why they are who they are today.
Wake up! Be like Jennifer!
