I've asked sometimes to people who have dreams, “why do not you pursue your dream?” and I’ve listened thousands of pretexts. My father always said, "do not give me thousands of excuses of why you do not do things, just tell me a single reason why they should be done". When you find a reason, just one reason for being done something, ... there's no pretext that will stop you to pursue your dreams, if there is a reason to do them, it is then that they are worth pursuing.

For every dream, it will depend on me to do what is necessary to achieve it, transform the illusion into a dream, the dream into an objective, the objective into a goal, the goal into actions, so there will be a reward.

By other hand, some dreams such as getting married or having children depend on two people, I will say, they are shared.

For example, if a couple says that they want to get married, but for some reason this does not happen, the question would be, how much do they want it? Someone will say, "I am doing everything for this dream", but if the other asks to wait and wait, it is obvious that there are doubts, that they do not want it with the same intensity. But, if we think carefully, whoever is doing something, can choose to wait, in the end, waiting is also doing something, it implies patience, but how long to wait? It is not easy to say, anxiety will appear, perhaps despair, it will seem torture, so the question is, how long to wait?

I think that waiting without a certain date consumes the soul, contaminates it, destroys it little by little, and when the other person involved believes that it is time to go after the dream, it may be too late. Waiting with a certain date is different, although waiting may still raise doubts. I wonder, to what extent does waiting imply patience and when does it become foolishness or stubbornness?

For those who ask to wait, it’s important to analyze the risks of this waiting; waiting may imply that you miss out on the opportunity to get what you long for, the questions would be, are you really willing to lose that opportunity? If you lose it, can you bear the loss?

If the dreams are not achieved, who asked for waiting will always remember and blame for not having done enough, there will be regrets, souls will be contaminated, and he or she will never fully recover; there will always be doubts. For whom did he or she strive for these dreams, and these are not achieved, there's nothing to regret, it will hurt, but with time he or she will recover.

A friend of mine wisely told me once, "actions are loves, words are only good intentions." When you love someone, you do what it takes, you don't just say nice words.

Along the way, we will encounter obstacles, challenges, difficulties, it will not be easy, they are tests to know how much we want things, how much we will fight for them, they are tests of character. So, what are we going to do? Without being stubborn, will we give up or will we fight for our dreams?

What are your dreams and what are you willing to do for them?
