It is absolutely fantastic to pursue one's dream and calling in life. Unfortunately for some people discovering one's calling is so elusive and sometimes is never realized. Pursuing a dream is more realistic and many persons pursue their dreams without any consideration as to whether it is a calling or not.
There is a big draw back in life however and it is the fear of trying and also being overly concerned about what other people think. We are programmed to be please people. This goes far beyond maintain the acceptable standards of behavior common to the community. We have been programmed to seek acceptance and have others think highly of us.
It is true that none of us want to be the subject of ridicule by others but our efforts if they hold prospects of progress is often the subject of criticism. We are not programmed to want to see others surpass our achievements. It is interesting that every time a new products comes about that will give an established product some competition the new product is bough out by a big corporation. If there is insistence on providing service through the product then it is squeezed and stifled to death.
It is time to realize and acknowledge that others are looking on with the intention to exploit us. It is very few persons that truly desire seeing us benefit from our God given ability and the things that through inspiration we create. We live in a world that focuses on money and for every dollar we are given the one giving the dollar has already worked out how he will make at least seven dollar in return.
This in no way eliminate the necessity to keep striving and being creative because in each of us lies untapped ability and potential that is beyond imagination. The tree that is loaded with fruit is far removed from the seed that was first planted in the ground. It took a process of time for the seed to become a tree bearing fruit and in each fruit are seed within which are the potential to become trees. A seed if given the right conditions to continue multiplying would eventually lead to infinity.
There has been no new seed invented since time began. New crops came about through others that previously existed. Our dreams are seed that have the same potential as a seed that is planted in the ground.
In the pursuit of our dreams we shall be subjected to change because it is only as we face and overcome the challenges associated with pursuing our dreams that we grow. Life's cycle demands that we grow but we can either determine our growth cycle, let others determine our growth cycle or stagnate and be like dwarfs. As previously said the tree load with fruit is a far cry from the seed from which the fruit tree came. In a similar way we shall in the end be ever so far from where we began but we have to be planted and endure the process of growth before we reproduce. This is why it is a joy and pleasure to pursue dreams and ideas because one day these will not only bear fruit but produce other dreams and ideas.
It is a waste of time to live life trying to please people because no man has yet been able to please everyone.
Those persons who spend their time observing and finding fault with others eventually discover that in their pursuit of seeing what is wrong with others they neglect their own business.
You and I will be blessed with approximately 30,000 days on this earth and one of the great things that we can do is try bring into reality the things imagined in our fantasy.
