Believe In Your Dreams

"Take a look at yourself in a mirror,
who do you see looking back?
Is it the person you want to be?
Or is there someone else you were meant to be,
the person you should have been but fell short of?
Is someone telling you 'can't' or 'won't'?
Because you can.
Believe that love is out there.
Believe that dreams come true everyday.
Because they do.
Sometimes happiness doesn't come from money, fame or power.
Sometimes happiness comes from good friends and family
And from the quiet nobility of leading a good life.
Believe that dreams come true everyday,
Because they do.
So take a look at the mirror and remind yourself to be happy
Because you deserve to be.
Believe that.
And believe that dreams come true everyday, because they do"
- Quote from "One Tree Hill"

This is one of my favourite quotes to read when I'm feeling down or close to giving up on something because I don't believe in myself. This quote shows me that I should believe in myself because dreams do become reality.

I have been thinking about what to write for a while now. Suddenly I realised "wait a moment, my dreams came true". Like most people reading this pose, I am very into my music, specifically those songs that tell a story. You know, the songs that have depth and soul within the lyrics. So like most people, I have a favourite band and it's the type of thing where you know all the songs and all the lyrics. It is not a very well known band, but it just so happens that they had a tour in my country and i was fortunate enough to see them. Not only that, but I was fortunate enough to meet them as well as speak and have a photo with them. To most people, this may seem like quite a weird situation to equate as a dream. But to be able to see this band play live and feel the soul in their music reminded me just how much I miss music. Just how much I miss playing the piano and guitar and writing songs. It reminded me how wrapped up I was in my goal to advance in my career that I had forgotten the very essence of what I truly love. Not only did I realise how much I missed music, I realised how lucky I was to be someone who managed to meet their favourite band. This doesn't happen very often. It felt as if the universe had aligned everything to occur for it happen.

The point of this post is not to tell you about my experience. The point is to show you that maybe your band is something else and that the universe is getting ready to align everything in order for you to confront your dream. It is about realising what your dream is and to pursue it. It is important to shed all those around you that underestimate your ability to succeed at whatever you wish to succeed at. Sometimes being alone means that you need to work on yourself before you cross paths with 'the one'. Don't stop believing that someone is out there for you because they are. Don't stop believing in your dreams because you can do whatever you put your mind to. Dont stop believing in yourself, because you deserve to be happy and you deserve for your dreams to come true. I hope that after reading this, you feel inspired and ready to conquer whatever challenge may face you. The world will stand aside for a person who knows where they are going.

The Script
The band I was fortunate enough to see live and meet.

Be INSPIRED

Here are some quotes that hopefully can pick you up when you feeling down. Enjoy <3

This quote above is such a special one to me, as I truly believe that if you are able to inspire the people around you then you have done something miraculous

It is amazing to think just how much we have withing ourselves to accomplish whatever we choose

Having the ability to just get up and face your day is the pure illustration of courage

Making the best out of what you got and growing that into something meaningful and successful is a true visionary

Risking it sometimes ends badly but you learn from it and it teaches you all the right things to do next time. For next time it won't end badly, it will only result in a positive outcome

It is like relationships, sometimes you feel like you lose a part of yourself but in losing that part of yourself, you gain so much more. You gain strength and wisdom to love and to love another.

Forever and Always

"Forever And Always"- Parachute

[Verse 1:]
She's sitting at the table, the hours get later
He was supposed to be here
She's sure he would have called
She waits a little longer, there's no one in the driveway
No one's said they seen him
Why, is something wrong?
She looks back to the window
Suddenly the phone rings
A voice says somethings happened
That she should come right now
Her mind goes to December
She thinks of when he asked her
He bent down on his knees first
And he said

[Chorus:]
I, I want you forever, forever and always
Through the good and the bad and the ugly
We'll grow old together
Forever and always

[Verse 2:]
She pulls up to the entrance
She walks right to the front desk
They lead her down a million halls a maze that's never ending
They talk about what happened but she can barely hear them
She tries to keep a straight face as she walks into the room
She sits by his bedside, holds his hand too tight
They talk about the kids they're gonna have and the good life
The house on the hillside, where they would stay

[Chorus:]
Stay, there forever, forever and always
Through the good and the bad and the ugly
We'll grow old together, and always remember
Whether rich or for poor or for better
We'll still love each other, forever and always

[Bridge:]
Then she gets and idea and calls in the nurses
Brings up the chaplain and he says a couple versus
She borrows some rings from the couple next door
Everybody's laughing as the tears fall on the floor
She looks into his eyes, and she says

[Chorus:]
I, I want you forever, forever and always
Through the good and the bad and the ugly
We'll grow old together, and always remember
Whether happy or sad or whatever
We'll still love each other, forever and always
Forever and always, forever and always

She finishes the vows but his beeps are getting so low
His voice is almost too low
As he says, I love you forever, forever and always
Please just remember even if I'm not there
I'll always love you, forever and always 

 

This is the most beautiful song i have ever heard. It is about a woman who loses the one she loves because there was a terrible accident. Through these lyrics you are able to see the true genuine love each of these characters have for one another. The song, is so moving and special.

The reason why I chose to blog about this song is because I have always been sensitive to those who lose their soulmates due to an unfortunate circumstance such as cancer, accidents and what not. There have been so many movies made on this topic. Few to name: ps i love you, a walk to remember etc


It sometimes makes no sense how one can meet their soulmate and then suddenly, that person is just taken away. It makes you question the world and question what was the point. I honestly believe, in those situations, it is better to love and lose than not love at all. Imagine not having met that person at all, imagine not feeling complete. Yes it may be for a short while only but what matters is that you DID. What matters is that person (your soulmate) came into your life for a reason, not just to teach you to love but to teach you lessons of loss, lessons of life, lessons that life goes on.
When in those terrible times of grief and pain, one often forgets to look at life in perspective. They forget to remember that once this painful period is over, only good things will come their way. This is because, whatever happened made you stronger and made you more prepared to tackle whatever the world may throw at you. Perhaps even finding space in your heart to love again.

I think, if you are able to find that one person that you can sing forever and always to, that is something so special and lucky. Not many people will have the same opportunity. And if you haven't yet then keep searching! never give up. Remember that the world only gives you what you need and that certain circumstances will arise in order to to teach you specific lessons to life and to help you prepare for the many more opportunities that will come way.
