I still remember the days when I used to dream loads of dreams. My dreams were as small as owning a candy to as big as owning a jet. It hardly mattered my ability to realize those dreams. It hardly mattered what it would need to fulfill those dreams. But somewhere I strongly believed in my abilities to make them come true. If I am not wrong that's how many of us used to dream in our childhood.

If I look back and see then it makes me laugh as well as worried. Why it makes me laugh you can understand but why worried? Hmm well, it creates some sort of fear in me, The dreams which I was so sure of fulfilling now seem to be a far possibility. The only barrier to my dreams in those days was my young age. I still remember the time when I used to pray God to help me grow as fast as possible so that I can start realizing my dreams. But now when I am grown up, the situation has completely changed. If I dream of owning a jet now then it will make me laugh on myself and it doesn't seem to be a possible thing. If I think seriously on that, what's the barrier now? What is that which makes me feel that it's nearly impossible dream? Then I will get few answers. May be I am more matured now. May be I have seen enough people around me dreaming such things and letting them go as they grow up. It's funny but even today my age seems to be my barrier but in a different way.

If you look at the people who have achieved some thing in life no matter how big or how difficult it was then you can make out the difference. What if MK Gandhi let off his dream of free India? What if Wright brothers had given up their dream of making humans fly? It's their strong focus and belief on their dream, their persistence towards making them come true. No matter how the circumstances were and no matter how many others have failed before achieving a similar dream.

The key factor to fulfill your dream is to keep your dream alive regardless of your age. If you really stick to your dreams and put sincere efforts then no matter how big it is and no matter what it takes to realize everything will start falling in place.

Never let your dreams disappear.
