Not so long ago, there was a girl who wanted to do something phenomenal with her life. She wanted to be a star!

But how? she thought.

One day she realized she had an awesome dream – something to live for! And if she could make this dream come true, she would be extraordinary. It was a hard road, but she overcame all the obstacles in her path. She reached the top of that steep mountain with joy. And once there, she looked down on the world with her head held high and a smile on her face…

That girl was me, Rocky. And that could be you, too!

In my dream-chasing journey, I realized that one has to be true to one self. Every dream is an opportunity to grow into something better than what you were yesterday. As individuals, we chose what we want to became.

But that’s the tricky part.

You cannot compare yourself to the standards of this world. No, you have to be unique! You have to form your own dream that exceeds your own criteria. Then you will grow!

Don’t be fooled. Dreams are hard work, but they are worth every minute of it. Take it from me, a humble cat.

This is the strategy that led me to success – DREAM:

Dedication
Responsibility
Education
Attitude
Motivation

Dreams flourish on dedication. When you’re learning a new skill, the golden rule is this – practice makes perfect! Dreams require that you work constantly and not get distracted by reality. Always keep your eye on the goal, because that is what will help you to keep going when times are tough.

There will be external factors involved in this complex dream-making proses. You will bear the responsibility of doing your part. Don’t be blamed for letting this dream fade away. This is your chance! Show yourself and your trainers the best you’ve got!

We are surrounded by rich sources of knowledge. All we have to do is to reach out to it. Education is easily under-rated by society, but I beg to differ. I like to compare education to a fire. Education is the wood that is freely available. The fires represent the dreams that came from deep within each of us. The fire inside us will influence and inspire others to burn as well. But unfortunately, there can be no fire without wood.

Attitude. The word itself carries such a weight. When you are on a journey to make your dreams come true (a journey as hard as the one you are about to start after reading this blog post), you need a mind-shift. It is very important that you always see the glass half full in every situation. Otherwise life might destroy your inner strength.

Friends and family that encourage you are an immense part of this journey. They give that fuel that we need to persevere for the last mile. But the fuel for the other miles come from nobody else than yourself. Let this motivate you! Never lose your focus!

I want to close with this quote:

“My dream was little before, but now it’s a giant testimony of my life story.”
