Don't Let Your Dreams be Dreams

The sentence in the above picture is one of the powerful sentence for me, I have it up on my Twitter page. It gives the sense of refusal to give up and strong will.

Sometimes I see people with goals and dreams, but seems like they didn't prepare or actually did something to achieve it. For me, every second counts. Once you fail to make a good use of your time, no one knows how much you will regret it in the future. Time keeps running, yet sometimes we don't act fast enough to keep up with the pace.

Don't let your dreams be dreams. Act to achieve and realise it. It's a reason you're living your life day by day. To be able to go through each and every day. Sometimes the end result just doesn't matter. The path towards it, the ups and downs you went through, is nothing but to make you a better person.

Don't let your dreams be dreams. How do I do it?

1. Make a list of what I want to achieve. No boundaries, just write anything that you want to achieve, even the most ridiculous ones. Because I believe, by writing it, it will remind us of our target so we can focus on it and unexplainably miraculously will help us achieve it. I have a couple of personal experience where my dreams that I wrote in a piece of paper came true one by one, and I never ever expect it to actually happen (sometimes I even forgot).
2. Make bullet points of the things you need to do to be able to achieve it. Sometimes I do this, sometimes not. But if is a big goal that I need to structurally plan the small actions, I will definitely make bullet points.
3. Don't just work hard, pray hard as well. I personally believe that what I had achieve is not merely because of my skills, but God's hand plays a big role in my life, my plans, my goals, my dreams, and my achievements. So, if someone says I'm lucky this-and-that, I'd say alhamdulillah, this isn't luck, I prayed hard for it.

So, what are you waiting for? Have a dream,write it down, and live your life realising it :).
