Any dream that is conceived in your heart is within your reach and achievement. Unfortunately most of us give up too easily. When we fail to achieve our desired grades, we walk away from our vision with our heads hanging down. I personally believe that there is never just one way of getting to a certain destination. Of course some ways are easier than others, taking less time and less resources but even those longer routes will still get you there. I am not ignorant of the fact that, there are some dreams that one has to achieve certain grades to mingle with them and in this case there is always the option of trying again. Just once is sometimes not enough.
Sometime ago, i was listening to classic's morning discussion, out of no other choice because i was in a matatu, and this day they were talking about,"toy boys" from the boys side of view. One of the candidates,a toy boy i mean called and told Maina that the reason why he was with an older woman is because he had to live. Accusing Maina and other employed people of holding on to their positions for too long,therefore not allowing these young men to take over and earn some too. "Seriously!!" Please tell me that this boy is 2yrs old!! I wanted so much to scream to the driver and tell him to switch off that so called radio because just that, broke the wave of joy i was sailing in that morning. I kept hoping that this was just a actor, paid to call in and make the morning show interesting. I still hope so. One tiny bit is true, i agree. too many highly educated people and too few jobs for them to take up and utilize their knowledge. But still his solution is way beyond lame that am still perusing through literature to find out which word can best describe it.
When one way is blocked, think beyond the block or around it. There is a businessman who runs a chain of medium size hotels in town and the story of his beginning is inspiring.He used to sell milk by the roadside. At some point, he gathered courage and saw beyond his barriers, stepped into a bank, borrowed a loan and opened a hotel. Today he runs 4 hotels in town. Most people stop at,"i could not continue with my education because of 1,2,3 reasons, i failed in high school, i can't get a job......"Determination does not start where a way is granted but where a will is present. With a strong enough will, everything and anything is achievable.
It does not matter how long it will take for you to mingle with your dream. The most important thing is to start. If what one wants to do is a bachelors degree in a certain discipline and its seems too expensive then, consider starting with a diploma so as to start on that path. You never know what will happen along that route.If you have your papers and no job seems to behold you, think bigger. You could become an employer too. If for some reason you were not able to achieve a certain level of education, there is always another way.As long as we break away from the boundaries that we tie ourselves to namely; education, resources and many others, we can and will achieve a lot. Maybe even beyond our own expectations.
If it is a dream in us, then it means that in us also is the potential to achieve it. We ought to fight through negative thoughts, discouragements from the crowd, history of failure and all else that is negative. We ought to keep our eyes on the prize.Because we know all too well that we deserve to live our dreams.
