“We know what we are, but know not what we may be.” William Shakespeare. In life we are frequently told who we are, what our expectations in life should be, what we should amount to. We are told that our dreams are too unrealistic and that our hopes are nothing more than a fantasy. Everyone is so good at criticising others about their dreams and abilities, and I can’t help wonder why. Is it because their dreams and abilities have been doubted? Is it because they doubt themselves? Or is it because they are jealous of our ambition?
This principal is also applied to ourselves, we have our dreams in our heads but we are so afraid of failing that we never try. What would happen if we did try? Would we succeed? Would we live our life feeling regret? Would we fail? We are so busy judging ourselves on what we do in the present, and how we look or act in the present, but we forget that who we are now will be different than who we are in the future. We forget that trying to achieve your dreams can effect you in exceptional ways, it can make you more independent and driven. Who we are now is not who we may be, it is who used to be because everyone, no matter who you are, should strive to achieve their biggest dream, because only then will you be who you really are, when you are happy, determined, driven and content.
