Dreams do come true: My Journey to Happiness
When I was young, I always believed in the idea that dreams do come true. It was an empowering concept to me that through hard work and perseverance, anything could be possible. But as I grew older and experienced more of the world, I slowly stopped believing in that idea and felt the spark of hope dwindle.
But, with a lot of inner reflection and courage, I decided to once again invest in the idea that I could still achieve the dream I had been holding on to for years: to be truly and genuinely happy.
I didn’t quite know how I would get there or where I would even start, but I knew that it would be an arduous journey, but with dedication and faith in the universe, I could get there. I promised myself that I would focus on the present and on small daily wins, instead of chasing something far off and unreachable in the future.
My journey started with gaining awareness. I became aware of the small habits and beliefs that had been preventing me from reaching my destination, so I could finally start making different choices to shift away from these unhelpful patterns. I began to exercise regularly, reached out to old friends and found time to connect with myself and truly honor my innermost feelings and thoughts. I also explored how I felt around people and settings and looked into ways to create better relationships and supportive surroundings.
Over time, I saw positive changes, I began to value and nurture my well-being and started to attract new positive opportunities into my life. It was hard, it took effort and was an emotional rollercoaster, but every time I saw some form of progress, I was motivated to keep going.
Today, I have learned that it is true – dreams do come true, and it all starts with being courageous enough to set your goal, trust yourself, and move towards it with resilience. With each small victory and success, my inner voice reminded me of the idea that the journey towards happiness is unique and cannot be measured in a one-size-fits-all kind of way.
No matter how long or challenging it may seem, my experience taught me that if I want something in life, I can make it happen as long as I stay devoted, take responsibility and invest in the present, every day.
Today, I can truly say that my dreams did come true and I am genuinely, deeply, and profoundly happy.
