In some of my previous posts, I have alluded to the fact that I don’t appreciate skeptics or people that would rather want to live in the status quo than to see change or take risks.

See, I have always been a dreamer. Someone who likes to dream big and work towards that, even if it is a painfully slow process with lots of hurdles in between.

I am also a hopeless optimist who believes that hard work does indeed pay, if you stay true to your cause. Yes, sometimes that has backfired on me but most of the times it has not. Even the times that it backfired, I learned a lot and moved forward.

People seem terrified of failures these days and would gladly swerve around an obstacle if they could and would rather stay in the more familiar waters than to dream big and do something different. And that is what upsets me.

Dream Big. Ignore The Noise.

The most annoying thing about skeptics is that neither do they do something of their own nor do they want to let someone else do it. In other words, they would rather live in the familiarity bubble all their lives and see everyone else doing the same.

That’s not how the world works. That’s not how we work. We as human beings are inquisitive by nature. We are the explorers, the discoverers and the inventors. The modern civilisation is proof of that.

All this came to be because millions of people dreamed big throughout history and brought their ideas in their heads to reality and the whole race benefitted from all of that. Over time, all that integrated one by one into the fabric of our civilisation.

Now, I am not saying that your dreams and you achieving them has to change the world. What I’m saying is, don’t be afraid to dream big and don’t, even for a second, be deterred by someone telling you otherwise. That is all noise! Ignore it.

Light At The End of The Tunnel

Imagine you are stuck in a dark tunnel and all you can see is a light in the distance, your point of freedom. You would do everything you can to reach that light at the end of the tunnel, right?

That is what I believe a dream should be like. It should be such that it gives you hope, a hope for a satisfied and happy life and something you would do anything to achieve.

If there are naysayers, leave them in the dark tunnel and march on. Be the example for them that it is indeed possible to reach the light. Maybe then, they will follow the light of their own.

But whatever you do, don’t stop. Keep moving forward, even if it just crawling to your destination. The world depends on the people who are willing to dream and do something about it.
