#FreshTake – Don’t follow the crowd

Dreamers are always striving to be the person they were meant to be and are not afraid to be different

Motivation to achieve success – part one
Do you have a deep desire to achieve something great? Do you want to live a more satisfying life? Can you see yourself being happy and successful in every way? Do you believe in your own potential and that there is much more to you than meets the eye? If so, you are a dreamer. But before I go any further, let me explain what a dreamer is because people often don’t appreciate being called dreamers. In-fact, it’s almost an insult to call someone a dreamer these days.

It’s associated with having your head in the clouds and not being realistic. A dreamer is a person who is not afraid to challenge society’s norms and not afraid to walk their own path rather than following the well-walked path.

A dreamer is someone who is always willing to take a chance and always asks why before doing something that others are doing blindly. A dreamer is a person who has a great futuristic picture, which they work to achieve at all costs. Dreamers are world changers.

Dreamers chart their own course and destiny. Dreamers are always striving to be the person they were meant to be and are not afraid to be different. I believe every one of us is born unique in every way, but over the years we work very hard to become like everyone else.

Society’s common sense tells us that that is the way to go. Unfortunately, common sense is not always good-sense. It’s just common. If you are a dreamer you cannot afford to work on society’s assumptions and standards. For instance, a lot of people have spent anything from 15 to 20 years getting an education so they can have that perfect job and earn a huge salary.Unfortunately for most, the perfect job and the huge earnings never materialise.

They only have the long hard years of work and loads of papers with unpronounceable names to show for it. Most of them have lost touch with the very people they are working so hard to provide for – their husband, wife and children, all because of having to “work hard” for a living. Yet few ask themselves if there is a better way. They blindly follow what they’ve always been taught.
