Soul of the World... Language of the World... Personal Legends... Signs...
In the book, it mention abt the 4 obstacles that each and everyone of us faced when pursuing our dreams/personal legends...
- Lack of courage:
Growing up with the thought that dream are impossible, slowly dreams will get buried and stayed buried deep in our soul that it became invisible, despite it being there. - Love:
Having courage to pursue our dreams is not enough as we will be afraid to hurt our love ones when we put down everything to pursue our dream. Only when we realise that those who genuinely wish us well want us to be happy and are prepared to accompany us on that journey, then we're able to take another step closer to pursuing our dreams. - Fear of failures:
Facing setbacks, having nothing to fall back on as we have staked everything to set on this journey of pursuing our dream, what we can do is to fall seven times and to get up eight times, don't we? - Fear of realizing the dream:
We may be near to fulfilling our dream, yet, the guilt of having to achieve the dream when others didn't, may push us back. Back to the start, where the courage to pursue the dream isn't there. Feel that we do not deserve to achieve. Forgotten about the obstacles that were overcome, the sufferings that were endured, the things that were given up, the effort that was put in. And never reach the goal, when it's only a step away.
A boy, having e same dream for numerous nights, decided to have it analysis when he reach the next town. Having to meet a man, who encourage and urge him to set on the journey of pursuing his dream, he give up on his possession and set on the journey. The journey wasn't smooth, and thoughts of giving up cross his mind. However, each time, he observe signs which encourage him to carry on the journey. On his journey, he met his love and had wanted to forgo his journey to stay with her. However, his love encourage him to carry on, because she'll wait for him. And once again, he set off on his journey.
Throughout this journey, he seen more stuff that he expected, learning more than he thought he will. Learned to read the signs, learn to speak in the Language of the World. Doing his best to reach his personal legend.
When I had finished reading the book, somehow, the part about signs left me thinking... I recalled an incident that had happen almost a year ago while I was doing closing at Guardian... That day, I broke something that means a lot to me. I tried hard to find, but just couldn't find it. However, when my colleague help me to search for it, she found it immediately. That night, she told me this as well: "If it meant to be yours, it'll come back to you. Don't have to worry"
Another incident happen pretty close to that time... And if not for someone's encouragement, I believe, it would have been long over and lost...
Now that I recalled on that incident... I realise, both incident, it was because of someone else being there, helping me, encouraging me, that some stuff wasn't lost... Is it signs telling me that I can't handle stuff alone? That someone else have to be there to be there for me, to guide me, to encourage me, to help me... Only then, it would stay with me? or maybe, I wonder if I had been holding to certain stuff to tightly? Perhaps, it isn't really meant to be mine? Perhaps, I have to brace myself with the possibility of having to lose it forever?
Right now, I recalled on another incident... It was the day that I will know my test/exam result... I was walkin to the busstop and was lookin up into e sky when I saw a new moon... At that moment, this thought crossed my mind: "Is the moon smiling at me, ensuring me that my result isn't really as bad as I thought... Or is it laughing at me for not getting a good result?" When I check my result... Somehow, it's both way... I didn't fail when I thought I will... And I didn't score for the those I thought I would...
Kinda interesting when you observe what's happening around you...Though I know, most probably, in your opinion, I'm just thinking too much...
