navigating dreams

I have a dream, as do my friends, my parents, and my relatives. We all have dreams. But do you realize? Our dreams have shifted. When I was a child, I remember some of my friends in elementary school mentioning that most of their dreams were to become doctors, pilots, police officers, and lawyers. Not very diverse; perhaps this is because we had limited references. However, one thing I observe is a rather contemporary law that ‘everybody has a plan until they get punched in the face,’ as Mike Tyson said.

Then, how do great people achieve great things in their lives? How do they maintain those dreams? Do they actually lack dreams and simply go through their days as best as they can? A one-day mentality? I haven’t found a matrix to answer this.

Starting with WHY and remembering the WHY when facing difficulties and feeling like giving up. This has been done several times but cannot be continuously used. Sometimes it’s not that the ‘fuel’ has run out, but rather the fuel has gone bad and cannot be used.

Is motivation important here? What I know is that motivation driven by emotion won’t last long and sustain us. Is consistency the key? Perhaps it is, but how do we maintain consistency?

What is the actual ‘formula’ for success in this world? Do we have to find and adapt it ourselves?

Humans are dynamic creatures who are always changing based on references, experiences, emotional interests, and motivations they encounter. Perhaps today we haven’t yet found the meaning, way, and conditions of life that we once imagined. But one thing is certain, besides death, that the future is never absolutely predetermined, but what we do today can contribute to it.
