I’ll Cross The Stream, I Have a Dream

- Singing this song -

“I’ll cross the stream… cross the stream… I have a dream”

( Westlife – I Have a Dream )

Ahaayy, let’s turn the time back for a while! When we were kids, the adult always asked : “What you would be then?? Would you be a doctor, police or an actress?”. I’m sure that all of us  will be so excited to answer “I wish to be a doctor that heal everyone, so there’s no disease anymore in this world” or may be “I’m the next Michael Jackson, mom!”. Then, time moves very fast and now you’re another adult that burnt your own dream. When we grow up, many influence come to us. Some could be good and some could be bad. Some factors doubt us and make us feel give up to reach our dreams. Is that matters?

Now, in your current age, when people ask the same question where you were kids, you may have different answer such as “The most important thing is I get the job to survive and feed my family” or another give up answer. Should this happen to everyone?? First, asking your self. One thing for sure is that you lost your enthusiasm to reach your dreams. You start to be scared if you get fired, then have nothing to do. You just be thankfull and feel enough for this uncomfortable situation. You stop to dream!! Do you realize that?

Remember, everyone have the same chance, it’s not always depends on luck and matter of circumstance, it’s all up to you. If some people who you think they’ve done but they show great effort to reach their dream, why do you stop? Life is about ups and down. Many stories prove that. In USA, the girl without hands could be the pilot of the airplane ( it had been publish on magazine and internet in around 2010-2011, have you heard that? ). In Indonesia, the pedicab drivers could publish his personal book entitled “becak”*. And we know that all the expert such as Einsten and Alva Edhison did their very extra effort to reach their dream. Remember them before you burn your dream deeply, dude!!

Are you the housewife?? Please stop to always exist on kitchen and buried your dream to be the entrepreneur! If you’re employee that work in underpressure? Stop, then chase your dream to be what you want. You can start it by now! You have to take risk to gain, you have to sacrifice and decide! Win or lost is not a matter.Trust me, you would never regret your choice to chase your dream and leave what were. Take a risk, cross the stream, cause you have a dream!

** becak means pedicab in Indonesian
