“Yes: I am a dreamer. For a dreamer is one who can only find his way by moonlight, and his punishment is that he sees the dawn before the rest of the world.”
― Oscar Wilde,

Write about a dream of yours that came true/or want to achieve

It is human nature to dream even if it begins with small dreams. Everyone dreams, but not everyone is able to achieve them. Actually, dreaming is nothing but imagination power that changes your life by turning it from aspiration-inspiration-goal.

Once you see a dream, it should not remain a dream. I wanted to be a cricketer, and I had reached close to achieving my dream. Your close relatives and even parents try to keep you from achieving your dreams. Should we listen to people? Yes, we do during our childhood because we do not have an option and we give up our dreams for people who don't even care about us.

But I now believe if we decide to do anything in our life, no one can stop us

What obstacles have you faced/facing to fulfill that dream? How you overcame those obstacles?

Only when you dream do you realize your potential. I realized this at an early stage, but my father was not in favor ofmy selecting sports as a career so I faced a straight denial. I was sent away and my dreams broke. As they say, so close, yet so far.

When you dream twice, it's a wish. When you dream three times, that's a goal. Many people fulfill their dreams not just by dreaming but by acting and I always thought I was one of them. Actually, your work created your success, your work made the dream a mere reality.

My second wish was to become a badminton player which I achieved with a lot of effort but ultimately I had to join a manufacturing unit. But wait, my third dream was to go into marketing. I tried my best and got transferred from the manufacturing department to marketing, and once I did, there was no stopping me.

I realized later that nothing can stop you, be it your relationship, your parents, or your own carelessness, because the people who truly love you will support you in achieving your dreams and making life happen. Sometimes you don't get any support, and you get a lot of criticism, but whatever your heart guides you, it will lead you to success in the end.

Who encourages you to fulfill your dreams?

There is none that encourages you to fulfill your dream, but it's up to you how you make your efforts to achieve it. Dreams are necessary for success in life, but to achieve success, it is important that we have principles as well as patience and dedication. You should never compromise with your principles, no matter what the consequences. Because with the help of these two, we work hard to achieve success and do not give up. Along with this, it is also very important to think that nothing is impossible for us to achieve success.

Maybe we don't achieve success despite following the slogan, as I did not become a cricketer but we should keep a plan B ready so if our plan A fails, we start working on plan B. The reason for this is the lack of proper intelligence, discretion, and right strategy and sometimes circumstances not in our control.

Nevertheless, to achieve success, one should not ignore what is within one's control, i.e., hard work and determination. Dreams only show you the way but you are the one who works on them.

The biggest reason for failure in life is that people dedicate themselves to being successful and try hard, yet they do not succeed. We should know that not all people fail or succeed in this world, and only a few are able to achieve success.

The people who achieve success have certain qualities, but if you lack these three, chances are you will never be successful.

The family background- People who have no willpower to achieve success. I know people who don't dream big or whose attitude is lousy will always weaken the person who lives only with the feeling of negativity. Remember, the percentage of failure and success mostly depends on your willingness. If your attitude is negative or money is your only goal, you have no chance to achieve your dreams.

What are the top 3 obstacles to not fulfilling one's dreams?

There are a number of reasons one can fail but personally, I see these three as the main reasons for failure.

Lack of goal in life: Unless you have a clear goal in life and decide where you want to reach, you will always find yourself confused. For a person who has no goal, success is not for them. Merely working hard without proper direction and without any goal is a sure way to failure.

Lack of ambition in life: One must think above mediocrity because only the ones who make it to the top are always dedicated and alert toward their goal. On the contrary, those who spend their time in laziness, being indifferent, do not even have the desire to make their best efforts to get something, and never achieve success.

Lack of self-discipline: Discipline is directly related to self-control. Self-control means keeping yourself completely disciplined. Remember you are the only one who can see you through to your goal. It would be better if we tried to control our negative qualities as much as possible.

Thank you all
