Our society is built upon dreams, faith, and hope which are all unseen elements. We not only dream at nights, but we wake up every morning hoping to make our dreams a reality. How can we make our dreams magically appear from the labyrinth of our minds into reality? Many believe through faith and hope, dreams can become real.
My only question is, after you accomplish your dream, what other reason is there to continue?
In other words, if you are living for the moment, what do you do after that moment has come and passed. Imagine if you spend your whole life just to get that one moment to shine and you somehow succeed, what do you do next? Do you make more goals to try to accomplish or do you just give up and accept that you lived for that moment?
Too many questions without any answers...
Some questions cannot be answered until you have experienced that moment you were created for. A dream or that perfect moment seems easy enough to accomplish but today's society, in my opinion, sugar coats the perception of living the dream. Society makes our dreams seem like they are easy to obtain, but in reality obtaining a dream has less odds of happening than winning the jack pot for the lottery. Dreams, faith, and hope are just words with meanings.
But what are words with meanings without actions to associate with them?
You, including myself, currently have aspirations to make our dream("the moment") happen and we continue to believe(faith) and work(hope) towards our happiness. We are living our lives for a moment that fuels and motivates us to function and make decisions in order to advance a step closer to what we consider our ultimate goal. After the moment is lived, just like a great story, the climax passes. The climax passes then we have to look towards the resolution and the ending.
Life is often compared to a book but can you conclude the story of your life just to decide its not the ending you wanted...
After you have lived for the moment, how will it all end? This question is what scares me the most of all. After you have lived your dream or lived your moment the only viable option is death because we truly have no other reason to live. That is why we LIVE for the moment because after it has come and passed then your reason to live has come and passed also. My advice to everyone is to make sure your dreams are worth dying for. You only live one life, you have one moment.
Make sure its a memorable one because after your story has ended, you could be left looking at the back cover of either a New York Times bestseller or a fire starter.
No matter the outcome, Live for the moment. Live your Moment...
I believe when you get to the point of where the dream is over. A new one happens, in the process of trying to achieve your goal/dream more start to form in the process though you don't really notice it right away. For example, all i wanted to do was graduate and then maybe go to grad school. As I achieved graduating, i realized i just wanted some type of job even not a best one, i got that job and then my next goal was furthering my relationship with my boyfriend, going for a deeper emotional connection and then the apartment. I think when one door closes another one opens, sometimes it might only open a crack and we don't really notice it but we are already in the process of moving foward with goals you don't really realize.
ReplyDeleteSo true... I agree totally. I'm talking about the ultimate moment. The moment you have lived your whole life for. The moment that if you do not capitalize on will affect your life. No back up plans just that one time when everything is on the line and failure is not an option. When I refer to your dream or your moment, it could last for years or a few seconds. Depends on the person and their moment.
ReplyDeleteThink of it like High School, up to that point it is all what you think life is for ya know? And after that its like wow...what now.. college? just get a job? and there are just lots of options and you really can't go back. While some of us had plans not everyone did. And plans change. You changed colleges, took time off... but it does depends on what people want there moment for you to be... maybe yours is with a private practice ya know?..maybe... it just all depends and more so if your not sure what the moment is.
ReplyDeleteexactly... Air force or school? hmmmm... My moment is going to be what defines me.
