Dreams are free. The ingredients are not.

When I was younger, I was told that dreams are just that, dreams. They are something we over-romanticize and should avoid. It takes a special ingredient to turn it into a routine and then an everyday reality.

However, we are told by others and life that these special ingredients do not exist. Because you can believe whatever you want to believe and life will still be life. But what they do not teach you in school is that to achieve the special ingredient, it starts with believing you are that special ingredient.

You hold the key to turning your dream into a reality. In fact, you are the key to making your dreams come true. You just need to work for it. As they say, the dream is free, but the hustle comes at a different price.

As the key to turning your dreams into a reality, guess what? You can become so much more.

“What about limits?”

Most people ask this question, but deep down, we must understand that we believed that there are limitations which can cripple us. When in reality, you are your own limit.You make the rules to what limitations stays or goes. There will be boundaries, no doubt about that, but you get to decide how you want to play the game.

How do you want to play? How far do you want to go? How far will you go?

I know that for me, every time the struggle has been too real many a time, I felt that it was worth the dream. It was worth the wait. Because I decided that the special ingredient was me, even if I have to put the ingredient to the test, it would be worth it.

In the very same sense, they do not limit this ideology to my own realization. Many of us realise that this is the truth, and some do not. However, reality will continue to be a defining factor and you will have to let it define you, or you, the special ingredient will define it.

Because you can define it. You can change it. You can even build a new one. That’s the beauty of being the key ingredient of reality.
