Moments Of Reminiscence

Dear lovely people,

While you foot the path to your success in life, there come the times when all sorts of obstacles, challenges and difficulties star at you in the eye. You twist and turn trying to break through but it get to a point where you actually feel you are chocking and there seem to be no way out. You feel you have hit a stone wall and contemplate giving up altogether.

Well certainly, you’ve heard over and over that you should never give up. That is often the moment when success is just around the next bend requiring you to pump some more adrenaline into your muscles and negotiate that bend.

The fact is that we all have dreams but we equally have to understand that some can be easily achieved, while some would take years to happen. But all of these dreams require one thing to become reality, decisive action. Many are the people who want their dreams to become reality right away. They want to skip the action part and just get into enjoying their reality. But the bottom-line truth is that there are no shortcuts in life.

While converting your dreams into reality may seem tough most of the times, the results are always worth the trouble. It took me time to come to this realization and that’s how I came up with my Moment of Reminiscence. Each time I didn’t do something right or failed in achieving a major objective, I would take a walk into the woods, around fresh water streams taking in the aromatic air into my lungs and reflecting over my failures to identify the cause.

It was during such moments that I realized all you need to do on your path to success is to step up and take decisive action. It is really quite simple if you think about it. Your dream will remain a dream if you don’t do anything about it. But once you start doing something to reach your dreams, you begin to live it. These dreams become part of your reality.

I equally realized during my moments of reminiscence that it would take some time to make our dreams come true, so we must be patient and persistent. We mustn’t give up on our dreams even if we encounter challenges. Challenges will always be there, often testing and preparing us for the best that is to come. They are also part of the process of making our dreams into reality. Successful entrepreneurs can attest to going through many challenges before they got to where they are. They went through several difficulties but they didn’t stop until they reached their goals.

In the same way, the leaders of the American Revolution went through untold challenges for America to become a free nation as it is today. That is why I think that The Anglophones in West Cameroon will come out victorious at the end of their struggle but they should be prepared for worst times and be ready to face those challenges, not giving up until the sun rises with golden beams on them.

Whatever our dreams are, no matter their nature, they may not be a stone-throw away yet, but it will be if we start doing something about them. The first step is to take decisive action; do something about your dreams and make them happen.
