A dream is something you may want to do or to achieve. How to get there may be clear or unclear. Dreams are visualizations of the future you want, what you do for yourself. Achieving a dream may or may not be possible but having a dream is a great starting point in life.
Aspiration is a strong desire or ambition to achieve something high or great, advancement. Implies striving for something higher than oneself.
For example, from a young age you had passion for what is right and just, becoming a lawyer is your dream, however, most importantly, the passion and integrity you infuse into that career will make you an incredible lawyer.
Your Dreams are for you, for example to become an influential leader, a parent, a musician, successful, very wealthy, name it… your dreams are yours. Your dreams are what you do for you, for your happiness. However, these have vintage influence on us for a lifetime. And the results are visible in how we perform our duties and the happiness index, whether we are living dignified lives, whether we are thriving or surviving.
There are two key questions to answer in life and in whatever we do:
Are you happy with the profession? Are you living your dreams?
If you dream of something, it’s the quality, rather than the quantity of the result that matters, it is that passion, that innate energy that drives you to achieve that matters most.
The result, whether it be products, services, performances, arts, anything you achieve, drive by that passionate energy is greater and satisfying than doing what you do for some other reason.
You can’t fake passion for something, you either feel it from within or you don’t.
Life’s purpose is what you do for others, or for this world. What your life is giving to the world. Big or small, it is the difference you make to people, animals, ecology and the significance of the gift of your life, your time, your efforts, and above all your love shared within your lifetime.
Conclusion: Vintage Dreams Africa will walk with you to balance all the three: achieving the dreams, aspirations, and life’s purpose, only then shall we feel a sense of fulfilment and satisfaction.
