DREAMS

 I have dreams which are renewed on a daily basis. There are dreams that I can attain by working hard to make them come true. There are others that I wish for the people on Earth. In my opinion, dreams are what keep us going and getting out of bed in the morning. If you do not have a dream, what is the use of being alive?

One of my dreams is that people become kinder to one another. I try to make this come true by being kind to people no matter how shut down they may be. Using simple greetings and expressions such as thank you, good morning, excuse me, hello, goodbye, I’m sorry, etc. can help make this dream come true. By planting the seed of kindness as I go by can transform people who will be able to spread kindness also.

Another dream is that people start cherishing and appreciating what really matters in the world instead of material things and money. I believe that what really matters is the people around you no matter creed, race, or preferences in general. Don’t get me wrong, material things and money is also necessary to live a comfortable life, but what I have seen are people working more and not spending quality time with family and friends just to make a lot of money to buy expensive brand mark items. I have also heard other people mention this as their dream also. Perhaps by working together as a group and making changes in our own private lives these dreams, and many more, may come true.

THE BEST IS YET TO COME

 

          Sometimes it seems like the sky is crumbling down on your head; the ground is opening up and you are being swallowed by the bottomless hole. You drop down, down, so far down. And when you think you cannot sink any deeper, sadly, you do.

Then, from very far away, you hear a voice whisper:  Hang on! The best is yet to come! It is a whisper because you are so deep in the pit that all the positive words seem to reach your ears as a fine whisper; soft and almost inaudible. The faint voice, which might belong to someone you know and love or a complete stranger, repeats the expression so many times so as to make it sink in your heart; brand it on your soul like a hot iron. However, first it goes into one year and out the other. The words make no sense at all at first because how can you expect the best when all you see is the worst.

          All of this changes when you are in the opposite situation; when you are at the top of the hole and someone is down at the bottom. So deep down that you can barely see them, and you scream from the top of your lungs: Hey, the best is yet to come! Hang on! Don't give up! I can assure you the best is yet to come! You have been in that sad situation before and you know that even though it seems like it's a bottomless pit that you have fallen into, you will eventually be able to climb out of it , one step at a time and enjoy what is on the outside.

          So, if by any chance one day you fall into that hole again, remember the best is yet to come no matter how long it takes.
