Things are as they are, not as they should be!

Dare

cooltext1108140704

It’s overwhelming to think about what will happen if you follow a path that isn’t very practical or that isn’t taken my many.

It’s unnerving to do what you think you can’t do.

It’s frightening to think that you might fail and it might break your spirit completely.

It’s chilling when the task ahead seems daunting and you’re not sure where to start.

If you are always trying to be normal you will never know how amazing you can be.

Visualize the life you really want to create and not the one you think you should live.

Live your dream.

  1. Couldn’t have thought of a better way to end the FOW. Another great “Drabble” from you. Enjoyed reading your work Shilpa 🙂 It was awesome!

    1. Thanks alot, Sid! Glad you liked the various drabbles written for this fest! Thank you for all the support! 🙂

  2. Awesome message Shilpa.. Just that with the realities of today, sometimes it is hard. Nevertheless, powerful message in 100 words, and you are the ‘undisputed queen’ of these short posts.. I’m your new fan 🙂

    1. Yes, it is hard sometimes but never impossible. Thanks Nischala for all your support and encouragement! Appreciate it! 🙂

    1. Yes, giving up comforts or a secured life is not easy! But one has to take calculated risks in life for the dream to be a reality.

  3. Our dreams are like a mirage, but not difficult to capture them and make them into a reality. A fine write Shilpa 🙂 Congrats 🙂

  4. That is one inspiring drabble Shilpa 🙂 “Dare to dream and then live your dreams”, easier said than done, but every attempt is worth it 🙂

  5. I love your inspirational message in this post. It is scary to dare because of the fear of failure, but wouldn’t it be awesome to take the chance and succeed? ♥

    1. You are spot on, Kathy. The fear of failure can be a big hindrance in taking a new path or following a new dream!

  6. You’re such an inspiration, Shilpa! I admire your absolute organization and am thrilled to find your post in my mailbox first thing in the morning.

    It is amazing how the level of our self-confidence is directly proportional to our efforts and therefore, the distance between us and our dreams.

    Beautiful.

    Hugs!

    1. Aww!! Thanks for such a heartwarming comment. You made my day! You are a BIG inspiration too, Vidya! 🙂
      True, fail in ourselves leads us closer to our dreams!

    1. Thank you Richa! Agree, having a dream is what keeps you alive. Overcoming the challenges make life worth living.

  7. Every line is so inspiring. Yes, to achieve peace and happiness we need to live our dreams because other wise life will be just a bag of regrets…Great post 🙂

    1. True. Somebody said, a man is not old until regrets take the place of dreams! So dream on! Thanks Prasanna 🙂

  8. Something which I keep stressing time and again. So what if we fail despite everything, we would know for sure that we would have to try some other way. We should dare to dream and equip ourselves to face the challenges too. Coz without the ups and downs, victory wouldnt be thrilling 😉

    Wonderfully written 🙂

    1. Agree with you completely, Ashwini! Failures are stepping stones to success, so we must face the challenges boldly, learn from them and grow.

    1. Absolutely! It is said that the comfort zone is the great enemy to creativity; moving beyond it necessitates intuition, which in turn configures new perspectives and conquers fears and helps us to go for our dreams!

  9. Beautiful work. your drabbles are motivating, inspiring , insightful and introspective. If ever there is an award for drabbles, i would nominate you for the award . you surely are the “drabble queen”.
