Inspired

Yesterday was the day i truly found a turning point in my life. I never felt the same way before and i thought i never will, but i did. Last night, i could not study because i was watching American's Got Talent on Youtube. Yes it may sound absurd to many because i am supposed to be studying, but trust me, i have learnt much more than i could if i actually spent those few hours studying, be it Biology, Chemistry, Economics or Mathematics. I have learnt something even more valuable than what i could learn from the books, and that is the everyday life experiences. Having watched so many episodes in the past, it never hit me as much as the few which i watched yesterday. There were many people out there in America who are living their dreams and they want to show the world what talent they possess. Some may have talents that are unique in their own way but unfortunately is not appealing to the masses, but what i feel is that getting through to the next round is not the most important thing. To me, i am inspired by them having the confidence and believing that they themselves can do it, that is what matters most. When one does not have confidence, no matter what others try to do, you will never be able to do anything big. But when there is something within you that is saying that yes, u can do it, why not go for it? You do not have to win the hearts of others, as long as you do not betray yourself and have no regrets, do what you want to do because everyone is born equal and you definitely deserve to do it. There are also contestants who really do have what it takes. There was this group called Voices of Glory and they are siblings. Their mother got hit straight on by a drunk driver and she was in a coma for 8 months. Everyday beside her bed, they would sing to her, bearing the hope that she will wake up one day. Not only that, they also went around the hospital, singing to many others, spreading the love and joy to others. And true enough, their mother woke up and is now on a wheelchair and she was sitting right there, watching her children singing on stage, doing what they love to do and that is to sing. When the judges gave them the green light to Las Vegas, the whole family came out and i could not resist but i was tearing. ( i am still human ok :) That's what it is all about, living your dream and celebrating it with your loved ones. You are not doing it just for yourself but for everyone around you, your friends and family. Yes and i have a dream too , so why am i not fulfilling my dream? i am going to be 18 soon and i know what i want to do, that is to study hard now and get a stable job, to support my family and that's all i ask for. I like to sing and why should i stop singing? No way am i going to stop singing, because that is what i want to do. It does not matter whether i can sing well or not, i just want to sing and that is all that matters. There are so many success stories and why can't i be one of them? I have a dream too and that is for me to make it come true. Believe in yourself and fulfill your dreams, before it is too late.

NB: okay i am feeling a bit weird now after typing that whole chunk in front...u all can just ignore it hahahaha :) i know it is not like me LOL...

Of course, one should always live their dreams. It's great that you got a goal in life to work towards. No matter what you do, choose a life that you want to have. Be happy with what you do, and never stop dreaming. Dreams are the birth of hope and from this stems happiness, which will fuel your days, and stretch your face into a smile from the heart. :)
