Why are dreams necessary in life? Having at least one dream in your life adds a charming essence to living a fulfilling life.
Today, we'll explore the answers to all of these questions. Take a moment to pause and ponder: do you truly have any dreams? Feel free to share your dreams in the comments section; I'm eager to hear about people's dreams.
In my perspective, a dream is the fuel for success, propelling us on a thrilling yet deeply satisfying journey. That means, if you have a dream you wish to fulfill, it's indeed a blessing. Be grateful for having a plan or a dream. Let's not confuse hypothetical dreams with real ones. I'm referring to dreams for which you're willing to challenge the world. Let's just think who created this world or Dunya?
As a Muslim, I believe Allah created this world, and you can attribute it to your own concept of God.
My point is, why?
What could be the purpose behind creating humans, and what unique features do mankind possess that set us apart from animals or other species? Before we delve into the differences between us and them, let's first acknowledge the similarities. We both eat, sleep, desire companionship, have children, and experience emotions.
The distinction lies in authority, mind, and speech. The power of authority of mind/thinking and the ability to speak differentiate us. God bestowed these features upon us as a gift, designating humans as ashraful Makhlukaat – the noblest of creations. This implies a superior status above all. As a gift, He granted us the power to think, the ability to speak, and certain ruling authorities. Now, you might wonder, what's the connection between dreams and the features bestowed upon us by God?
If you lack any dreams or passions in life, merely drifting through life with a 'go with the flow' sentiment, you might end up in a bad place or become a victim of circumstances. The reason might be that the features bestowed upon you by God are either underutilized or misused. Why is the depression rate higher in the world than ever before? It's because of the improper utilization of time and features given by God to explore oneself and make a positive impact on this world. Having a dream is a blessing because most people don't have one.
Now, let's distinguish between dreams and aims. Every aim is also a dream, but not every dream is always an aim. In this world, every person, every being, has dreams, but only a few have aims. Even a beggar has dreams, and a chai wala (tea seller) has aspirations. Everyone has multiple dreams, but what's the success rate? You can look up the exact figures, and I'm sure it's quite low. Because their dreams don't become their desire with the correct aim.
If you have many dreams and you're not actively working towards them, you'll end up criticizing yourself by comparing others' success, gradually leading to depression and guilt. But if you have a dream with desire, then you won't care about the world. You'll only focus on your next steps, solutions, and learnings, driven by your passion for your dreams. You'll become selfish with your time, valuing it because success or fulfilling a dream is a long journey, requiring time investment.
You'll automatically find focus, somewhere in between managing and saving your time. You'll try hard to work on the mandatory tasks, igniting a sense of urgency and activity, hitting your internal motivated zone. Similar to feeling motivated after a session with Sandeep Maheshwari, you won't even need motivational speakers because your desire, aim, and dream will become your free motivation. In conclusion, there's no difference between a human and other species if a human doesn't have a dream.
