It's my Criminal Law B exam tomorrow. I should be studying. But my mind drifted and I find myself here again, my secret santuary, a museum of all my thoughts of the past, the present and the future. I think one can dream great things and to some (me included) the dream sustains, motivates and ultimately consumes them. But I came to a realisation a few days ago that the dream should never cloud our vision of what life is all about. Life isn't about achieving your dreams, (as most people would say), it's about living it the way God designed and planned for you to. If we went about doing what we wanted, achieving everything our heart desired, one day we'll be left to feel that it is meaningless. Sure, it looks good on the record and makes us feel proud of ourselves. But we wouldn't have lived life to the fullest and by that I mean, experiencing the unexpected, the thrill of not knowing what lies ahead and being pleasantly surprised or refreshingly disappointed (yet undoubtedly wiser). Maybe I still have that childhood dreams within me but they will only remain dreams unless it is also God's plan that I achieve them. Until then, I'll live with the faith in Him to guide each step of the way and embrace the exciting uncertainty that believing in Him brings.
