I gave up on my dream … more
I gave up on my dream
Yes, you read that, I gave up on my dream..... We all build castles in the air, sometimes overstepping the bounds of what can be real and what can't. I am one of those naive, soon reality gets you unprepared and it all comes crashing down. Those were the days when I was an innocent dreamer...untouched by the harsh reality.
No more dreams, they say...get in line! they say, Give up, they say...
But no more...no more giving up! I say...
What if the reality is harsh? I shall adapt and survive!
I shall go on and on...1 step at a time...1 brick at a time. I am my best self when I am invested in my craft, I say...
Mistakes? failures? Oh, I wear them as badges.
set aside my ego...it gave me nothing but insecurities.
I shall go all guns blazing! when they come...
I will go if I have to go but I will go down swinging...really hard, I say.
A great man once said...
"It is not the critic who counts;
not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles,
or where the doer of deeds could have done them better.
The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena,
whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood;
who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again,
because there is no effort without error and shortcoming;
but who does actually strive to do the deeds;
who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions;
who spends himself in a worthy cause;
who at the best knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement,
and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly,
so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."
