There is no shortcut to success, and success only comes to those who work hard. It is human nature to think of bigger and better things, but only those who work for it achieve it and the rest of them only admire it.
A dream is a state of abstraction. It is a process of thinking that is carried out in the human brain. They are the goals that we desire to achieve.
Dreams vary from person to person according to their interest.
Every new day comes up with two choices: Continue to sleep with your dreams, or wake up and chase them.
Everyone has some dreams that are the essence of how they are, and how they want to live their lives. Some people think that their dreams can never come true, and just because of the fear of failure they don’t try. The first step to pursue your dreams is to “Focus and Strive”. Pursuing your dreams requires hard work and conscious efforts. That’s why the first step is always very hard, because our mind has mixed perceptions, and it is difficult to select the positive one.
No one can reach the top staircase unless they start climbing from the first step. If you are standing at Point 1 and want to go from Point 1 to Point 2, you have to think of a better route. After planning your route you have to start your journey; without knowing your final destination you cannot reach there. It takes strategic actions in the right direction to get there which is a time taking process. It never happens overnight, there can be many failures during the journey towards success. A successful person is the one who passes all the hurdles on his way and reaches the final destination without giving up.
“Many of life failure are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up”
Here I want to share one’s life story about pursuing dreams. Milton Hershey is considered one of the most successful men in the world. Before being successful he failed many times. He got a rejection from a job then he started three Candy-Related Ventures but he got failure in his projects, afterward he founded Lancaster Caramel Company. Finally, he founded the Hershey Company that became one of the most renowned companies in the world.
Success can only be achieved through unimaginable sacrifices and immensely hard work. Let’s take an example of an ant, ants never quit. That’s a good philosophy. If they’re headed somewhere and you try to stop them, they’ll look for another way. They’ll climb over, they’ll climb under, they’ll climb around. They keep looking for another way. What a neat philosophy, to never quit looking for a way to get where you’re supposed to go.
Boldly go in the direction of your dreams. When the world beats you down, find a reason to get back up again. Never give up on the success. Try, try, try, and try again. Feed your mind ideas of success, not failure. Remember, the only way you can fail is if you give up. Every time you fail, you come one step closer to success.
.
You are not scared; you are courageous. You are not weak; you are powerful. You are not ordinary, you are remarkable.
Following your dreams can be both terrifying and exciting. Courage is facing fear. Fear of failure holds most people back. You are not most people.
Persist and persuade others about your plans, as they are real. Nobody can do this but you. Nobody will get in the way of our dreams.
Give it your best, and your dreams will come to life. Success is yours. Go for your dreams; it is your turn.
True success can only be achieved through honest dedication, hard work, focused attention, solid willpower, and courage.
Those people who try to get success through shortcuts, lack determination towards their goals and end up losing hope.
We can make our dreams true by working on them. When you think that you can’t get anything, you actually won’t achieve it, because you don’t trust yourself. The first step to making your dream come true is to think that Allah The Almighty has given you a chance to achieve it. The second step is to put your efforts into it, and the last step is to have Tawakkul in Allah The Almighty. As Allah (S.W.T) says:
“O you who have believed, persevere and endure and remain stationed and fear Allah that you may be successful“
Quran: Surah Ali-Imran 3: Ayah 200.
