DREAM KILLERS AT YOUR DOOR

 

In life, we face a lot of challenges as we try hard to reach our goals and objectives. It happens that in between, we meet obstacles that we can avoid but we end up choosing not to listen to our inner hopeful voice. People act as the biggest contributors of dragging our zealous hearts to reaching the intended destination. We find kids with high targets in life like wanting to become future pilots, surgeons, engineers, lawyers, judges and the list can go all the way down but as they grow up, they continue lowering their goals until they are fully convinced that it is difficult to reach to the clouds, leave alone the sky.


In a certain village, the frogs’ community arranged for a running competition. The goal was to reach the top of the highest tower in town. A big crowd gathered around the tower to witness the scene and cheer on the participants.

The race began and no one in the crowd really believed that the tiny frogs would reach the target. Statements from the crowd came from all directions that; “oh, it’s way too difficult,” others said, “They will never make it to the top, not a chance they will succeed, the tower is too high!”. The tiny frogs began collapsing one by one except for those who in a fresh tempo were climbing higher and higher.

The crowd continued to yell that it’s impossible and no one would make it. More frogs got tired and gave up but there is this one individual that continued higher and higher and would not give up at any cost until now everyone else had given up and he was the only one who reached the top.

Curiosity built up and all wanted to know how he found the strength to push through and win the race but the most amazing thing was known that day; it turned out that the winner was deaf, amazing, huh?

The greatest weapons the enemy uses to kill our dreams are the nay Sayers. These are people around us who keep telling us that we are dreaming about the impossible and we’re just wasting time. Before long, we convince ourselves that the dream is too big to be achieved by small people like us. Usually, the nay Sayers are always present when you try to do something extra ordinary but they pull you back with negative words. Always be at the lookout for you never know, your dream killer might be the person you trust the most
