Make your journey worthwhile

“You don’t have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step,” Martin Luther King said. Tip toe if you must, but take the step. Likewise, as 2023 has just kicked off, one has to take the first step and start the yearlong journey. Along the way to reach your destination, you need to have a dream to chase, passion to get motivated and courage to take risks.


On the way, remember that success comes only to those who believe in their dreams! Life needs to be lived with a dream in mind to make it interesting. You must believe in dreams so that they come true someday. Otherwise, life will be meaningless without a dream or a goal to achieve. It is always worth chasing a dream to make it happen. All dreams are possible, but it depends on how much we believe in them.


“A man is but the product of his thoughts; what he thinks, he becomes,” said Mahatma Gandhi. You are what you think and you achieve what you believe in. Every time you tear a leaf off a calendar, you present a new place for new ideas, dreams and progress. That is why the more people believe in their dreams, the easier they become possible and achievable. Regardless how challenging your dreams are, you can make them a reality by believing in them and persisting to achieve them. Hellen Keller said: “Your success and happiness lies in you. Resolve to keep happy, and your joy and you shall form an invincible host against difficulties.” Living without love makes life invaluable, so having no dreams in life makes it meaningless. In fact, dreams add a flavour to our life for it becomes challenging and makes it rewarding. Albert Einstein said, “Never give up on what you really want to do. The person with big dreams is more powerful than the one with all the facts”.


Always the little persistence results in getting more achievements and whatever looks a failure and disappointing might suddenly turn into a commendable victory. Whether we want them or not, every new year brings new challenges.


Similarly, whether we grab them or not, every year presents new opportunities. Thus, it is upon you to decide how to make the most of all the challenges and opportunities that you come across. Although nobody can go back and make a new start, anyone can start from now and make a new ending for the ongoing journey in life.


There is nothing impossible to do regardless how difficult it is; you just roll the dice and make it happen. The road to success and fulfilling dreams is never an easy one; you face obstacles on the way. Nobody is too old to wish upon a star. Sometimes, it is just your fear of failure that stops you from pursuing your dreams and working to achieve your goals. However, where there is a will there's a way.


Here comes the time to make resolutions, set up goals and move forward towards achieving success and change of your life.


It is also time to reflect on the year before and make plans for the year ahead. The New Year stands before us like a chapter in a book waiting to be written. Let us look forward to the opportunities of another one. Welcome 2023 with new hopes. Life is a challenge, face it. Life is a dream, realise it. Life is love, enjoy it.
