You have dreams, are you chasing them?

What are you really doing about your dreams???

"We all have those 'one day thoughts n vision ' like one day I'll drive a Lamborghini Cabrera, own a mansion etc.The questions is usuwenzen' namhlanje ngalokho? Izolo wenzen? Ksasa uzokwenza? In order to drive that car, own that mansion...Whatever you do today determines your future!" - Andile Cele (@Ady_Cele)

Reading this status update on Facebook inspired me to write this post. The question posed by this status is one that we must all ask ourselves on a daily basis, if not, we are failing to do the most basic act of motivation.

The thing about the average person is we all dream, we all want it all, and we all believe we deserve it all. But how many of us are actually going out and chasing it. I mean we all know rags to riches stories of people who came from nothing at all to all they ever dreamed of. I mean in my hood there's a dude who was a security guard and earning next to nothing. He decided to chase his dream of living in a house and not a shack and living a dignified life, so he got himself a code 14 drivers license and became a truck driver. Now he's getting married, built himself a house and has made it in his terms. We on the other hand have all the resources, yet we chill and tweet all day. Update statuses about the things we dream of, yet do nothing in the real world. 

I'm lucky enough to have been at the bottom of MY scale in life and managed to lift myself up, this has really opened my eyes. I'm not perfect, I do also slack a bit, but I see when I'm falling off and make some necessary sometimes tough decisions. It's all for the greater good. One thing I can say is that laziness is an epidemic in this country, it has nullified a lot of potential in many people. Small steps equal a long distance.

Instant gratification...A MYTH :O

We all know the Myth of instant gratification, whether by name or not. The world is not a machine, you don't just send a command like "I'm a millionaire" and suddenly you're rich. Shiiiiiiii... If that was the case money would run out lol You gotta work and be patient. Patience is the quality of Gods - KingNzumbi lol I really do believe this. People are just so impatient it's amazing. Like there are things that will tick you off, fair enough. But when it comes to your success, patience is the secret ingredient. There are scams out here, people get cheated, conned and lose all they ever had, because they want INSTANT GRATIFICATION. They want to take the easy way, the shortcut. you can't expect to do none of the work and get all of the glory.

Do something now, what are you waiting for?

On the real, what did you do yesterday or today to get closer to your dreams? Do you even have them clearly defined in your head or on paper, that's the bigger question. You cannot say you have a dream to become a famous actor/actress and yet you're not even part of a drama club. That's like saying you're a peanut butter addict and you're allergic to peanuts :-/ see, it doesn't add up. 

You gotta get up, make a plan and work towards it. Noone cares about your success as much as you SHOULD, DO YOU? a lot of people dream but never do. That's one of the reasons people never live their dreams. It will not happen over night, that's the first thing you need to come to terms with. Before I start getting carried away, let me leave you with a thought. If you were asked what have you done to get closer to your dreams, what would your answer be? Now ask yourself if that's the most and best you can do.
