In the present climate of uncertainty, life is very unpredictable, it is very easy for us get overwhelmed, and allow our dreams be replaced by fear and doubts. It is so easy to let our disappointments, our setbacks and our letdowns rob us of our joy and laughter.
Many of our plans and dreams have gotten pushed aside, lost, or completely derailed in all the chaos and confusion. The world is in a state of crises, we are facing some of our toughest challenges to date, we don't know, how, when, or where it will all end. We don't know how many more challenges are yet to come before it is all over, or what will be left of our lives when it is all over.
Our dream of living happily ever after is beginning to fade, it seems more elusive and evasive then ever before, it seems beyond our reach. We are living in unprecedented times. We have a long, hard, rocky and bumpy road still ahead of us. The road is full of pot holes, road blocks and hurdles of every kind, it will take everything we have and then some, to get through this. We will probably shed a lot tears before it is all over. It feels like things are going get a lot worst, before they get any better.
It doesn't seem like things will be getting any better or any easier anytime soon. If things continues to go the way they are for much longer how will we survive? For every dream that we dream, for every success that we achieve in life, for every great thing that we accomplish, we will face challenges and obstacles.
The bigger, the greater the dreams we have, the bigger, the greater the challenges we will face, and in turn, the greater the rewards will be. Easy dreams that require little or no effort are not always as rewarding or satisfying. Challenges and obstacles are life's way of determining just how committed and how determined we are to our dreams. Life simply wants to know, just how badly we want it, and how determined we are to make it happen. For the wright brothers who are often credited with inventing, building and flying the world's first motor-operated airplane, it was not an easy dream, it took years and hundreds if not thousands of tries to get it right.
And for Thomas Edison who is often credited with contributing to the invention of the light bulb, the phonograph, the motion picture camera and the telephone, they were not easy dreams. They took years and many tries succeed and get it right. they were completely committed to their dreams. They tried and failed hundreds, if not thousands of times before they got it right.
Our dreams may not be as big or as ambitious theirs were, but our dreams require no less of an effort and determination. We must figure out and decide, how badly do we want it? How committed are we, to our dreams? As committed and determined as they were to theirs? If we fail, over and over again, or if our attempts end in one disappointments after another, that doesn't mean that, that is not life's way saying no to our dreams, it is life's way, of finding out how badly, we want it. It is life's way of testing us, and allowing us to reach our full potential and growth.
We are facing some of the greatest challenges of our lives
