Dreams do come true

There was a man who made a living from selling balloons. He had all colours, especially the very bright ones and whenever business was not swift, he would release a helium filled balloon into the air to attract the children to his shop. This continued all the time to increase his sales. One day, he felt a tug at his jacket. He turned around and saw a little boy who asked, “Sir, if you release a black balloon, would it also fly?” Moved, the man replied with empathy, “son, it is not the colour of the balloon; it’s what’s inside that makes it go up.”

Life is not about having a black year, a black environment or a black background. If you were to name all the ‘blacks’ that you may have experienced in life, none would matter as much when you pay attention to that which is in you. You may have resolutions, projections, and goals for the year; just let them fly!

What are dreams? Dreams are your ideal or perfect aspirations...those images, thoughts, sounds or emotions that you experience in your mind. But dreams do have deadlines; don’t be stuck with a dead dream. Discover your strengths as well as your weaknesses. Then persevere and work hard at it.

Are you excessively enthusiastic about your dream (a dream fanatic)? We at Dreams Come True with jazzyb believe very much in those God-given dreams of yours. Therefore, rid yourself of the ‘I cannots’ and all its relatives. Go start something! Your dreams can come true!
