Observations on Life

Writing Prompt: Death of a Dream

Finding a new Dream

In life we are sometimes faced with tough choices. Do we keep on the path that we have chosen or do we move onto something else? In business, it is much easier to see when one particular type of work is not moving, when it is not bringing in profits. That is a clear sign, that a new more profitable project needs to be taken up, in order to make the business a success.

While in school I remember a young student, who was a very good football player. He had a bike accident and then could not play the game. He was emotionally broken by the accident, which made him walk with a crutch for a period of time. Once he recovered from his injuries, he took up computer gaming and made his life a success.

Have there been times in your life, when you have watched your dream die before your eyes? It is emotionally upsetting, but you need to find the strength to recover, find a new dream and move forward in life. Some dreams are small ones, while others could be major dreams, like switching a career or moving to a new place to reside in life.

Regardless of how big or small your dreams may be, we still feel sadness inside, when we need to shut out minds to one dream and open windows to another one. Dreams are challenges in life that we need to be courageous enough to face. Find your new dream, if you are still mourning the loss of the old one.
