Fulfilling dreams will remain a mirage if you simply sit down and dream on. To turn a dream into reality, the first thing you need is determination. No matter how hard life is, one must not keep its dream at bay. For completing the dream, you have to keep your vision in mind. And remind this dream to yourself daily. I joined the teaching profession and knew that it was too difficult to find time for anything else, but I made sure I should not let my dreams go far away from me. I started taking pictures on my mobile and found it interesting. Wherever I saw anything amusing, I took out my mobile and started taking pics.
The habit of taking photos has gradually increased, and so has the passion. I joined a course for photography and was later listed in Wallmag’s Wildlife photographer’s list. Photographs are the universal language of our era. Everyone has hundreds, maybe thousands in their pocket. They are the witnesses and artists who distill the mayhem and beauty surrounding us. Photography is a way to express your ideas for others to see. I feel an image is a poem about time, about “staying the moment.” Photography can defeat time. Pictures can keep the memory of a loved one alive, hold a moment in history for future generations, be a witness to tragedy or joy.
There is no way to deny that life flies by, and we should not miss a single moment. Every minute and day is essential in this immortal world, and we need to make it count. Initially, you will see failures. Failures are sometimes a part of the journey to success, but at the end of the day, it is all about how hard you have worked on the right thing, and this will get you closer to your goal. One must have a thirst for anything you want or do and a passion for cherishing. Don’t be pushed by your problems; be led by your dreams.” I’ve learned a simple law in my life. There are infinite routes to a satisfying, uplifting life and vision. Whatever decision you make—and have made before—you’re on the right path. It is all about pushing your boundaries because the impossible is nothing. After all, impossible itself is I am possible. It’s time to realise your dreams because your dreams are often more rewarding and more enlightening than the achievement of your dreams themselves.
“I have lots of things to prove to myself. One is that I can live my life fearlessly.” Oprah Winfrey said.
