Its funny how quickly your dreams can be taken away. The unbelievable high when you achieve something, win, get accepted, final feel happy with your path is hard to let go of. But. When it is grabbed, torn, ripped away from you, you ultimately feel as if you were not worthy or good enough for this dream. The way you pick yourself up from this. The way you reassess your goals, your dreams, and the way you set yourself new ways of reaching your dream or even new dreams. Defines you as a person.
We have all dared to dare. We have all placed ourselves in situations which we should not have, sometimes we have come out with nothing, we got burned. But, sometimes just sometimes we come out with what we want and more, these are the times that we should focus on. We should take these experiences and use the hope, and high we got from them.
Each and everyone of us in this world have picked up bits and pieces, delights, dislikes, joy’s, sadness, rejection and acceptance. We have added them to our big box of experiences. We have discarded the things that don’t work( rejection, sadness, dislikes) and we have stumbled upon and found diamonds in the rough when and where we least expected it. This is what we can call on when our dreams get torn away. We can use the hope to pick us up in our darkest times when rejection and sadness strikes.
Today I got hit by rejection. But. I can hope because I have the experience of acceptance and of happiness to draw on. I have choices to make. I shall make then right one.
The choices we make in life shows who we truly are, far more than dreams and abilities.
