May Your Dreams Come True!

If we would recall, we might have wished someone before, "May your dreams come true!" Sometimes, we might just take it literally and hence might not realise the significance of this wish. But, if we deliberate on the phrase, it could have profound implications in our lives.

This wish first assumes that we have a dream to begin with. Have we got a dream already? Obviously, it does not mean day dream, night dream or bad dream (nightmare) here. It refers to our vision into the future, our aspirations, our goals, our aims and our purpose in life. While dreams are something that is not yet fulfilled or realised. But, it is important in providing us with a sense of direction and purpose into our future, in terms of what we want to be and what we want to achieve in future. The dream will guide us on what to do and what not to do.

For example, it will be very inspiring for a student to have a dream of being the top student in his or her school. Once a dream is in place, the student would be guided by his or her dream as what to do or what not to do. This would help him or her make better use of his or her time and other resources. He or she would be able to understand better what constitutes a meaningful or purposeful activity. As a result, he or she would learn to make better decisions in life.

May we all begin to have a dream or dreams in our lives. May I take this opportunity to wish you, "May your dreams all come true!". May you be continuously inspired by your dream.
