Stop hesitating your #dreams are calling you...
Today, I am especially excited to write this article. Why? Because I decided to take the a new road. I am determined its a road that will take me closer to achieving my dreams. I stopped hesitating and made a choice.
Do you remember being a child? Growing up with crazy wild dreams? Many years ago I used to dream of being an 'Architect' who would design and build huge tall sky scrapers and large fascinating bridge structures across the land. I remember being back at colleague studying Interior Design and Architecture wondering how will I ever reach my dream, it seems so far away from reality. Since, then however my dreams have changed dramatically.. I still love to draw and design don't get me wrong, but nowadays I seek pleasure and dreams in other ways these days.
"Sometimes we find ourselves looking out of the window in the car, or the window at work.. asking ourselves what if, what if..."
Many of us these days are unhappy at work, we're not experiencing our full potential and we're missing self fulfillment and self achievement. Many of us stuck are stuck on the roller coaster of life due to being afraid to take a risk, scared of failure or rejection, yet we continue to accept the ups and downs and the daily demands and challenges that life throws at us and do nothing about it?
I have met many people who are only just coping with life, they muddle through, they manage and push through... and they get by...
But they’re not living... They’re not thriving... and they’re not flourishing. I’ve also met many people in crisis. They’re no longer able to manage or to cope and muddling through isn’t working any more. Not only are they not thriving and not flourishing, but things are seriously not working, they’re breaking down.
"Sadly, sometimes it takes something very traumatic or difficulty to get us to wake up and look at the real quality of our lives."
I believe we have two choices in life...
- Living to Survive
- Thriving to Live and Flourish
However logical you may think that you are, your emotions are a powerful driving force. To live well and to be in charge of our own actions we need to be fully emotionally available to ourselves. When our creativity is invested in surviving rather than living, our capacity to listen to our deepest emotional voice is stifled and we are unavailable 'to engage fully in a rich and flourishing life.'
The secret to following your dreams is a choice.. stop hesitating and take control.

For me, like many others I want to wake up in the morning without an alarm, I want to jump out of bed with the excitement of being my own boss! I want to wake up and bring #happiness and #joy to peoples lives on a daily basis.
"I want to be that change you want to see in the world" - Ghandi
I have dreams of travelling the world, teaching children and young adults how to achieve their dreams, how to lay down the path and milestones to achieving that dream. For me #Happiness comes from within, but #Happiness can be shared and inspired.
The new #Happier me..
I will live in the new Happier me, I choose to thrive in life, flourishing and growing each day. Even if my job is only bringing #Happiness into someone's life each day or making someone follow their dreams, then that's enough for me! I am going to make it happen and this is just the start for me!
Sometimes we just need to make that choice, step out of our comfort zone and take a risk..
- What inspires you?
- What are you dreams?
- How can you make it a reality?
- What is your view of Happiness?
I hope you join me and follow my journey as I begin my expedition to #Happiness.
Love to hear from you,
Regards
Nailah
