DREAM vs ASPIRATION

Dream we are talking about here is not what you see while sleeping, it's an imagination of your heart. It is the picture of your future in your heart. Obviously, everyone has a dream, I've never seen anyone who never wants to become something either good or bad, that thing you want to become is your dream. 
          I can remember when I was a child, we used to play and act dramas, we used to divide roles, one would say, I would be a doctor, another would say, I would be the manager. And we would begin to mention our properties  like we were already living big. This kind of child's play indicates that every human being on earth have dreams. 
   Simply,        Aspiration is a burning desire to achieve something. It is a set out for goal. We have lots of dreamers but few aspirants. 
        Let us get it straight, Dream is not the same thing as Aspirations, they are two different concepts, it is just that one leads to another. For instance, a man can have a dream of becoming the president of his country, but outside his heart,he has a little passion for politics, he never desire to be the president, yet the picture is in his heart. We can then say that a roll on desire to bring your imaginations (dreams) in to reality is Aspiration.
 Tenets of Dreams and Aspirations
- A dream is the vision of one's life while Aspiration is the pursuit of it.
- Every human being has a dream but not everyone desires to achieve all their dreams
- Dreaming big about future is not a guarantee to a great future but an unquenchable desire towards the achievement of your dream is a guarantee for a great future.
- No success comes through dream, it rather comes through your Aspirantion.
- Dreams can become reality only if you Aspire for it.
- Dream may or may not fuel your desires but Aspiration fuels your desires and set you at work.
- Action makes your dream become real, but no desire no action.
- Dreams can die but your Aspirantion/Passion can not easily die down.
         I wonder at the multitudes of dreamers in the world and the few aspirants, a lot of people have great dreams, great imaginations flowing through their hearts every day, but it's saddening, it is only few that act on their dreams. No wonder we have only few successful people in our generation.
           A lot of people sleep and wake everyday without making a move to do new things, is it that they have no dream? They have dreams but no passion could sustain the dream in them. Aspiration makes your dream live and become reality, don't die a dreamer, aspire to make your dreams real.

THE MIRROR: IDENTITY AND SELFHOOD

Identity. It’s the essence of who you are—your personality, the core of your being. Selfhood, on the other hand, is the expression of that identity, the way you present yourself to the world. Think back to a time when you had to show your identity card. Do you remember the reaction of the person you handed it to? Likely, they nodded in approval, having seen all the necessary information about you on that card. Your identity, in that moment, was defined by the details captured on that small piece of plastic. But identity is more than just what's written on a card. It’s how you define yourself and how others perceive you. It’s the name you give yourself, the image you project, and the way people recognize you. Selfhood is often conveyed through three key aspects: - Dressing (Your Appearance) - Actions (What You Do and How You Do It) - Speech (The Words You Speak and How You Utter Them)  Dressing (Your Appearance) There’s a common saying: "Appearance shows the manner."

The Greatest Goal

When the ball enters the net, they say it's a goal! And the loosing team feel defeated forgetting that they've got the greatest goal.  Same to a man who has all his goals lain down and strategically pulling his efforts towards the goal but to realize at the end that, his goals can't be achieved, for known or unknown reasons. He looses strength. At times, he can feel like it's over. But the truth remains that it's not over until it is over. He's got the greatest goal.       Really, a goal is the achievement toward which effort is directed. And billions are the "I want to", "by God's grace I will", "in fact, I must" in the speeches of every man, especially at the beginning of every matter, but strength wanes and the story changes maybe in the middle of the road. Because all efforts put towards the achievement of the goals seem to be less affective. The truth is, no man has control over whatever happens and will happen....
