Dreams
Medicines are good. When used properly, they cure illnesses, and make us fit and fine. But medicines have an expiry date. They may stop working after that date. They may turn poisonous. The same medicine, that would have cured you once, could kill you now.
It's the same with dreams. Dreams are beautiful. They give meaning to our lives. They make every moment worthy. They keep us happy and motivated.
But dreams too, come with an expiry date. A date, when we should realize that the particular dream may not be worth pursuing, as it has become a mental baggage.
Get rid of a dream when it starts becoming a hindrance to your happiness. Start a new dream. Dreams are meant to keep us happy, not to kill us from within...
This realization comes on the back of something I told a friend a year back (which Facebook algorithms reminded me today). It was like:
"'Dreams don't need to be successful.
Sometimes they do, but they need not be every time. Because, dreams are just beautiful. More beautiful than the fulfillment."
