Believe and Do


I have realised something.

It is brave to realise your dreams, it is brave to pursue them.
It takes courage to try and get there with the possibility of failing.

I have finally decided I want to try and get there no matter what.
With simple inspiration "If you can dream it, you can do it!" by Walt Disney
I think we can all believe in these simple words to try and achieve our dreams.

It's way more complicated than just 'doing it', but starting the process makes it a whole lot easier.


1.The first step for me, was to identify my dreams and goals. Just simply noting down my passions. Sometimes even thinking about your hobbies can help you to identify your dreams.

These steps weren't followed one after the other, it kind of happened naturally. Taking time to write down how these dreams and goals will make you happy will help you visualise how it can impact your life.

Sometimes the fear of failure can stop you from even identifying them, its scary, hell I know. But once you take the steps, hopefully you'll be on your way to a happier life.

2. Next, identify how you can get there, e.g. you love writing
1. Start writing
2. educate yourself on how to write
3. get some experience, volunteering with a magazine might be good!
4. maybe write in your spare time, diary, blog, stories etc.

Once you have attained experience you can look for paid employment, and hopefully that will pave the way to your success! Let me give you another example, you love films 

1. educate yourself on film genres, themes etc.
2. take a film short course?
3. Start taking notes and read up on film literature and reviews
4. start volunteer writing to get work out there and build experience

Depending on how many passions you have it might be hard to do all of them, focus on the ones you really love. For me, I love writing, that's why I have this blog and I write poetry on my Instagram. I've also been trying to do volunteer writing and read up on writing, its a process but I am making progress! I also have a passion for Mental Health so I have been looking for employment opportunities. I like charity so I do it in my spare time, I don't know for definite if I'll get to my dreams, but I'm going to try.

 
3. Realise you'll have good days and bad days. Sometimes you'll be more motivated on some days other days you'll think, what's the point? It's alright, just be patient. As long as you're enjoying your journey that's what matters, the destination is important, but the journey is important too! Don't forget that!

4. Take some time to identify activities that help you to relax. For me its running, for you it might be meditating or reading, or even hanging out with friends. This will hopefully help your mindset and keep you motivated in low times.

This is not an exhaustive list, but it has helped me! Hopefully it'll help you too!

First Eid

It's the first Eid I havent in a long time been to Eid prayer at the mosque, this time I prayed it at home. It's also the first time I went to the cemetery on Eid. I went to visit my Dad. It's weird seeing a slab stone with his name- what's funny is we couldn't find it and we found another stone with his name but the age was wrong and the date of his death, it's funny how two people can die with the same names and different times and mean so much to different people. It's funny how I stared at the stone trying to make more of my Dad than just words written down, than just letters that make up his name, and numbers that make up his age, and everything and nothing that makes up the memory of him. It seems like the memory of him is a distant memory eventhough it was last year he was alive. Why does it feel like he didn't really exist? Why does it feel like he vanished? It was last year he wanted to talk to me, it was last year I was doing nursing, it was ...

Happy music

Life takes us through so many hurdles, so many journeys so many discoveries of ourselves. Do we ever just sit and think about how we came to be the person that we are now? I know I have been through a whirlwind of different personalities, different phases, feelings, thoughts, dreams. However I have remained somewhat constant- what I admire about myself is that I believe in myself (not necessarily my abilities) but I believe and support my actions regardless, and ... I'm glad I have strong principles, I guess it makes me who I am. Despite what I've had to sacrifice for them. Over the years I've always wondered who I'd be. In fact when I was younger I would dream of how I would be when I was older. (Older being past 20's) I'd imagine I would magically transform into this strong, independent, accomplished woman. And it would somehow come to be at this magical transition to adulthood. Oh how I would tell myself it's not that simple. Life is not that simple. W...
