BEST 13 FOLLOW YOUR DREAM QUOTES

FOLLOW YOUR DREAM QUOTES

Dreams are more like aspirations, the bedrock of what we want to be, achieve or accomplish today, soon, or in the future. Have you ever sat to think about something you’d like to accomplish? Yes or no?

It’s what they call daydreaming or maybe fantasies. A dream is something that is pleasing to you, the driving force of your life (something that keeps you going).

Do you know that family and society can oppose or undervalue that yet to be an established dream? You know, while I was growing up as a child, I’ve always loved to write. I wanted to be a freelancer and an author so bad, I’d get a pen and paper and scribble anything, whether it made sense or not.

When I got into college, I would sign up for any competition that involved writing, heck I love it. Am not sure a day went by without me having to pen down something, I could communicate with just a pen and paper, it seemed like these two understood me quite a lot- there was a connection.

Though my mother wanted me to follow a different path, “science”. She admired anyone who wore a clean and dazzling white laboratory coat.

According to her, “She did not mind waking up every day to see me on a laboratory coat”. My mum gave concrete reasons on a daily basis why I should study science and become a surgeon rather than holding a pen, writing.

it pays more, you will be well respected, the world will acknowledge your existence and it would make me proud as your mother and blah blah blah.

Trust me, we had a series of arguments most times, she’d even threaten to stop paying my tuition fee, it got to this extent. But no one, except myself, could understand the love I had for writing.

I wanted to touch lives with my writing, inspire people with my books, explain hidden facts to people and so much more. Guess what, against all the odds and obstacles, I followed my dreams.

I pursued my goal with all manner of enthusiasm. I get calls and emails every day from people, they say “ hey, was going through a lot, your book touched me, this essay changed me, you are amazing and I look forward to reading your next piece, article, or book”. When my mum read one of my books, she was wowed.

What am I trying to imply?? You don’t have to follow someone’s footsteps or let them define you because they perceive your dream as rubbish or a waste of precious time and effort.

You don’t have to live up to anybody’s perception or expectations. You have a good dream, an amazing one, go for it.

People trying to distract you from fulfilling your dreams is a sign that they don’t have a future for themselves, they don’t want you to progress because of jealousy, mind who you allow into your circle to give you advise on what to do.

Your dream is your dream, not theirs, pursue it as if your life depends on it, never relent.
