Where have all the dreams disappeared to?

When we were young, we had big dreams. Today, you might ask yourself, where have your dreams disappeared to? Most of the time, we let reality consume them and allow resentment to grow instead. We are frustrated that we had not taken the path we had chartered out for ourselves and taken an unexpected detour. Maybe it is the role we now play, the responsibility weighing on our shoulders, our financial situation, our family situation... somehow the lives we now lead does not seem to match up or measure up to the dreams of yesterday. Whatever the reasons, one has the freedom to choose. Which option will you choose: 1) Living a life of bitterness, further resentment, anger, regret, depression and self -pity. 2) Take the leap of faith and embrace the adventure and the experience of the new route ... to enjoy the new sights, new possibilities... It is unplanned but everything will turn out right if you make the best of the new journey. It is a matter of perspective at the end of the day. Today has its cares of its own, tomorrow as well. If you were not worrying or challenged by this in an alternate universe and time, you'd be worrying about something else, challenged by something else. There are still many blessings to count in our lives today, so many new opportunities... so many new things we can do. A new life we can help nurture as single mothers. A new future to look forward and ahead to. As women and mothers, the dream never ends. It is always there waiting for you to grab hold of it and make it your reality. You can make it happen no matter what situation you are in if you believe and persist. Embrace your new direction. Make new dreams for yourself and those you love. What you make of this life depends on your personal attitude to everything. Having the right attitude or even nurturing the right one in yourself will allow you to conquer the many obstacles and curved balls that life can toss at you. Just like a sculptor carves a rock to take the shape of the image he has in mind, so can we carve every curve and bump and shape it into what we want. We can plant the seeds of happiness right now if we allow ourselves to, if we see beyong the situation and reap the harvest of joy, love and faith later on. There is no such thing as impossible just matters of choice. The ball lies in your court. What direction will you choose? I hope it is one that will offer you a peace of mind and happiness in time to come.
