DREAMS, ASPIRATIONS AND REALISATIONS…

I sometimes ponder over one of life’s most mysterious elements, ‘TIME’ and something about it makes me think about dreams, aspirations and realizations. Everyone wants a shot at success, but SUCCESS is a tricky affair because no two people want the same thing from life. But for a simple Joe or Jane, the dream graph would be something along the lines of:

When around,

10yrs: one wants to play all day and play some more

18yrs: one thinks about changing the world and living life

to the fullest

30yrs: one wants to get a better job and own the car that’s

on everyone’s mind!

40yrs: one wishes for a happy family

55yrs: one wishes that the kids are well settled

70 yrs: one wishes for a peaceful death

From living ‘in the moment’ to making a difference to wishing for a peaceful death, one wishes for it all.

What astonishes me most is how one keeps settling for lesser goals or how ones aspirations constantly drop. Or probably they don’t, probably one doesn’t really lose track, it could be that ones’ PRIORITIES change! But what happens to those who do not want to compromise on their DREAMS? Are they less content? The big question here is ‘WHAT HAPPINESS REALLY IS?’

Is it about accepting what one has got and working on it or is it about going that extra mile to get what one wants? Is it about compromising or fighting till the end? I don’t even know if LIFE works this way but if it does, I can’t help but wonder where I’d be, which boat would I be traveling in? I guess I’d be LOST IN TRANSITION!!
