Life

Dream.

No.

Not the ones you see in your sleep. 

Real dreams are those which do not let you sleep. (Cliché, I know.)

But, you can't just dream of something and then wake up and simply get on with your normal day's business. That's just plain meaningless. I can assure you it is very easy to set goals in your life and to dream big things. Every next person can do that. But do you know what that is called ? It is called just simply existing. Breathing and dragging your life day by day just because you woke up alive today. Existing is NO FUN.  You can only fully live your life when you set a few goals for yourself. When you dream. And you put everything in you to make it come true. To work and work hard until you reach the point of success when you can proudly stand in front of the mirror, look at the reflection of yourself and be fully and truly proud of the person looking back at you.

Just simply being alive and going with the flow is just too mainstream and you are way too cool for mainstream. You need to tell yourself that you are not like anyone and everyone in the crowd. You are the one who is going to stand aloof from the crowd. Seeing whom, people would say that this person is the real living definition of an achiever. 

And you know what the ridiculously funny part is ? If you are a true achiever of your dreams, the first sign of it is that people WILL make fun of you. People are going to try and make you feel bad about yourself and say that you have no idea what having fun and living life looks like. People are going to tell you that you, never in your life, are going to know what partying looks like. This is your first flashing signal towards your success. Criticism. People are going to do everything in their power to put you down and make you feel rubbish about yourself. You just have to ignore them and know where you need to actually be having fun and where you need to do what you must. Because while they are getting wasted at aimless high school or college parties, you are working your way towards a life, a real world life, they could only imagine in their wildest dreams.But at the same time it does not mean that you completely lock yourself up in a room with just books and have no life at all. You need to go and have fun and live your life as well but know what your priorities are and you need to know where you must draw the line. And because you worked your butt of at the right time you will have an enormous pay-check with a prestigious post while they are going to be drowned in debt.Then a smile will find its way back onto your face cause then YOU will show them what "work hard and party harder" looks like. And you would live a life they could drool while watching.

So do your future self a favour, work really really hard right now. Live your life along with it as well. Cause at the end of the day we learn much more than real life experiences as well don't we ?! And dream BIG. DO NOT let anybody get in your way. Blur everything out and just keep running towards your goal for when you achieve it, all of the world including your past haters will run around you ready to take your orders just to make a simple acquaintance with you.
