Good day great steemians around the world, it's your newest comer greeting here . Once again I wish you all a happy prosperous new year. This contest drew my attention as we all know that dreaming is what keeps our fire alive . Imagining a blissful life and holding on to it is what keeps us going and alive.

DREAMS:
Each day of our life is a page and pages that get turned become history that is why age is one thing that can never be reversed.When someone is mean to me I will remind myself that my life is a book and every passing day is a page ,the people with me in a page of my life are objects that tend to vanish as life goes on so if one is being mean what makes me cope is the reminder that people are like mirages that disappear as I move forward in life and that dream keeps me persevering with that person . If we look back we cannot remember most of the faces we met when we were 3years of age those faces have become mirages that we might never come across again. I see dreams as hopes, dreaming keeps us lightheaded and joyous. It lifts the heavy hearted ,for instance as a student you have to go through late night reading, night classes and other stressful activities,while going through all these what keeps us joyous is imagining ourselves in the future where we have attained the gains of all our pains, that alone will bring smiles to our faces .Imagining ourselves in a well established office or in any country of our choice or wherever we wish ourselves to be.

Dreams are prayers , wishes that we hold to ourselves. Most times our dreams are what keeps us going. When you feel like all hope is lost and your heart reminds you that one day all this shit is going to be over , that glimmer of hope that there is a chance my life cannot forever remain like this is what keeps us alive. Most parents actually go through emotional pain thinking of the circumstances of things like for instance, you just walk into a room and find your dad with his hands holding his head down at a fixed point for a long time and wonder what is going on.

Most parents no matter how financially unstable they are, press forward and persevere because of their children because they imagine that one day when my children make it all these struggles is going to be over and that is the dream they hold on to that keeps them mentally stable and alive . They might not open up on how tough things really are and growing up we tend to become more sensitive to their emotions, seeing them in that state where they have to recalculate over and over again before they can squeeze something to hand over to us makes us resolved to put them out of that misery and that is when we create and design our dreams. We begin to see the world in a new way and imagine that ok if I win a scholarship I will take the pressure of paying school fees of my parents and we will be able to have money to do other things, that dream of a blissful future keeps us alive and joyous . It helps us accept whatever what the day wants to throw at us with full chest that one day life is going to go my way.

Should we dream in our life? and they must be fulfilled

YES! I for one think it is very good to dream, speaking from experience in all different phases of my life. There was a point in my life when I felt stuck, it was like my life was stagnant doing the same things over and over again with no change in the days operation. I felt like I was a character in a game . At some point I had to break some rules to remind myself that I was still alive and I still had places I needed to get to . It was that dream that kept me going, that hope that i would not be working there forever was like the shining light at the end of the tunnel that I had to get to. And with the grace of God my dream got fulfilled as I gained admission into the university which put a stop to that feeling of stagnancy and I moved on to something new.

When our dreams are fulfilled do we dream again for something else?

YES, due to the fact that we are humans our wants diversify and expand and it keeps on expanding as life goes on . That is why they say the rich wants to get richer. It's just the basis of life .

If our dreams are not fulfilled even after working hard, do we become depressed and stop dreaming?

Living by the saying "As the going gets tough the tough gets going"strengthens and encourages most people in this present day. Regarding the case of the founder of the light bulb,Albert Einstein who tried 100times of which 99percent was a failure before he emerged successfull . It is not easy to repeatedly fall and rise but it is that goal we are trying to achieve that gets us back on our feet . That is where the question "HOW BADLY DO YOU WANT IT??? " replays itself in our minds and allows us to make our decisions . It is just like being at the crossroads of life where you have to decide which path you want your life to follow and have to work towards it.life is a choice , it's up to you to make that decision of whether you want to go i to depression or whether you want to keep on pressing forward, its just YOU vs YOU. Your parents can't make that decision for you, it said that you can take a horse to the stream but you can't force it to drink water, that is a decision the horse would have to take on its own.

Explain how we work hard to fulfill our dreams.

This can be done by first of all taking a breath and then visualising that future we so badly want for ourselves. Imagining a blissful life will encourage and fuel that desire to work towards it.Work to the point where you will be able to sit back in satisfaction and recollect all the struggles you went through to attain that position. Work doggedly, dedicatedly, determinedly, diligently till you reach your goal.
See you at the top guys . We can do it.

I invite @goodybest, @saintkelvin17 and @ saha10 to join in this contest.
