D2D = Dare to Dream

There will always be a time for you and your dreams to come true. But the problem is could you wait till your times comes.

A dream is a wish you heart makes, when you fall asleep, said Michael Buble. But, is that it? Does dream stop when you wake up? Does dream disappear when you open your eyes? Can you dream any longer than 8 hours a day?

As it is said in the statement above, the answer is NO, dream doesn’t stop when you wake up and YES, you can dream a little bit or much longer than 8 hours a day, it depends.

The only problem is would you wait.

We often dream to be something or to have something in our lives; but we never see it coming. Some of us wonder, have I just been fantasizing? Have I dreamed something unrealistic? The others would claim that God is cruel, or even worse, God does not exist.

Some of us, who, thank God, think that they are not fantasizing, might sadly think that they are incapable to reach their dreams or to make their dreams come true. The others consider themselves unlucky, or in Indonesia, if you are unlucky for some times in a row, people would say that you are cursed.

Complicated.

But having your dream come true is more than being lucky, being free from any spells. It is not how you dream. It is not about choosing the right God, in fact there is only one God, and I know He is NOT at all cruel.

It is, first, what you dream. It is beyond realistic or not; but is it good or evil? If you dream to have lots of money by robbing a bank, I will guarantee you that you will never see it coming. If you do see it coming, you won’t be freed from punishment, both by law or yourself. However, if you dream to be a doctor or to study overseas, it is possible. It is just how you walk in your path to reach that dream. When there is a will, there is a way; and, in fact, everything is possible, in God.

Second, would you wait?
Making your dream come true is a little bit longer than 8-hours sleep. You need to put some efforts to reach your dream. When you have put some efforts, you still need to wait.

Why should I wait?
Hm,… maybe you are tested, are you serious with your dream? Let’s say you dream to study overseas. You wait for one year and it hasn’t yet come true. Don’t be disappointed. Maybe you are tested whether you really want to study overseas or it is just your pride.

Another reason is to make you realize that you are not the only actor in making your dream come true. You need other people and, in fact, you need God to handle your dreams. Maybe you dreamed to have your own company. But,, instead of asking some helps, you did everything by yourself. You ended up bankrupt or overloaded. Why don’t you try to ask some helps from some people in your surroundings? And of course, surrendering your burden to God will do good to yourself.

Finally, I believe that something worth having does not come easy. It takes time, but when you get it, you will be overjoyed and blessed. You won’t stop give thanks for what you have received.

So, be happy to wait.

A writer once wrote like this:
I always imagine that God gave us a checkbook and we could write any numbers in it, without any limitation (Wow, I wish!). Unfortunately, there are always two mistakes occur: first, the amount of money written in the checkbook is too small; second, there are many who grew tired whet they queued in front of the teller, in the bank, and they walked away and forgot about the checkbook (what a pity).

Thus, D2D, be patient, and let you dreams come true.
