Many people go through life disappointed and
dejected because they have lost faith in their principles – construing that all
around them are happy by not following any such principles. This is a
particular social psychological scenario (which is on the rise) that refers to
the way in which people perceive, comprehend, and interpret the world around
them – affecting their ability to realize their dreams. They find suitable and convenient
excuses for falsification of such a hypothesis. Often excuses include such as
due to a lack of money, fear of ridicule or failure, lack of familial support and
feelings of being tied to the present situation with no way out. I imagine that
all of us have experienced these feelings at one time or another. While for
some of us, this negative feeling is only temporary, for others, it may be hard
to accept that our dreams are actually within our reach, and possible without
letting go our principles.
I think we all have the ability to achieve our
dreams, but we may just need to adjust how we look at them. In other words, we
may need to look at them from a different perspective. It is important that we
understand that every one of us is unique and, thus exist different yardsticks
to judge any moral/ethical position one takes. It is important to realize to
judge ourselves and others through a structured approach at understanding which
yardstick suits each of us best.
This will give you a chance to find out if it
is really what you want. Serendipity happens, and it happens more often when we
are actively engaged in achieving something important to us. I encourage you to
let go of old excuses and start thinking about the necessity to understand the
variance of judgment criteria – ways to realize what you desire without letting
go your principles will follow. Think about steps that could help you get
there, and take those steps. And then just imagine how wonderful you will feel
once you begin your journey! Soar high!
