Day 090

Dear dreamer,


A lifetime of commitment


I had a sort of epiphany where I just had a glimpse of myself in the future. It was an idyllic scene I would not be able to forget for a while. The calm in me emanated from the fact that I did it. It was hard but I made it either way. That was blissful. It gave me hope and confidence to continue that, no matter what it currently looked like, it's only a matter of time before things got better, one after the other. 






I became at peace with the fact that time and effort would bring all my desires to me. There is absolutely no need to fret as long as you keep doing what you should. Usually, the problem lies with working and failing. That's the worst fear of every dreamer out there. People are not afraid of working very hard if the result will correspond to the work done. A lot of times, this will not be the result and it discourages people but that is the difference between commitment and others. 







We should be committed to our dreams. Keep doing even if we fail at it a few times. When failing gets too overwhelming, relax for a while. It's a whole process that we should try to keep track of. You will not always fail at all your attempts. No one does. At some point, it will be the perfect chance, opportunity, moment, everything you could dream of.






You owe yourself nothing other than a lifetime of commitment. You have this one chance to be everything you can be. Hold on to it as much as possible. Your perfect opportunity comes soon.

Day 001

Dear dreamer, Thoughts and more Thoughts... This is not your typical 'my life story'- only it possesses elements of it. The most daring thing about this is that I am just going with the flow (whatever that means) . I know not what the end will be, only dare hope it is good just like I think. Everyone always say "Dream" and it is only so hard to do so. They never tell you about the hopelessness in dreaming when you are penniless- which is the initial state of every dreamer. They do not want to discourage you so they omit it from every literature or maybe it is just difficult to describe which is what I want to describe so you can almost feel it... For any dreamer who is a vast reader and learner, the best way to start is to borrow wisdom from from great writers and people who have trailed this path before. From all I could gather, one stood painfully practical; 'Do not focus on what you do not have...but what you need  and find your way to it using what you have...

Day 002

Dear dreamer,  Questions...lots of questions Lethargy...I could literally feel it like a gentle caress lulling me back to comfort-very deceptively destructive state. I started the long, arduous process of shaking it off simply because I have this one chance to live my dreams and I won't screw it up as far as it is up to me.  I started the day wondering if my ideas were good. There were a lot of questions;  Can I pull it off?  I might need help so I called out to my close confidant. I read about something called a kitchen cabinet- it is a couple of people that are literally your guide rails. They keep you accountable, you can ask them questions about anything. Well, they are supposed to be comforting enough yet honest to call you up on your faults without mincing words. I started building mine then so I reached out to the one who I can say is the chief of my cabinet. I ran the ideas by him, he did not have much of an opinion just a lot of questions about the idea and ...

Day 004

  Dear dreamer,  Life Of A Penniless Dreamer I don't know about others but being idle makes me so uncomfortable. Like, I must always be doing something valuable, meaningful, something that is felt but, as it was, I was just waking up in the past few days to nothing but absolute emptiness. Of course, I did some mundane chore but it moved nothing so I was dissatisfied and wondering what exactly I could do- something effortless enough but impactful. Not like I did not have things to do, in fact I had deadlines to meet but I was in low spirits so I had no motivation nor intention and I have learnt to not force some things. Quality dwindles. Poor quality with so much effort. There is something I do from time to time, no fixed time frame but I just organise it as it feels. It's a self-reflection exercise. During the exercise, I just simply review all of my plans and see how much progress I made- sometimes it is depressing, other times it lifts my spirit. It's just to make sure I ...
