Dream vs Reality

At most time, I dream a perfect dream:
  1. Be engaged with the person I could not live without.
  2. Have a permanent job which I love with a good salary.
  3. Get married with him who I choose to live with my entire life.
  4. Be a great and known photographer.
  5. Build my own dream businesses.
  6. Have 3 kids during early age and another in my 40s.
Statistically, I would say my dream consist of a confidence level, 80%.

So where did the other 20% go?
That's where the reality knocks in.
  1. I can't be engaged unless he has a stable income (that's according to him. I thought you can't get MARRIED unless you don't have a stable income?).
  2. Being someone with low experience, I have to accept whatever job that's offered to me.
  3. Getting married is soooo out of question now!! It'll be years before it can happen.
  4. Without DSLR, how can I be that? Though I'm learning the theory, I still have to learn to handle the camera.
  5. I don't have the money. But I'm going to do it someday.
  6. He doesn't want 4 kids.
And that is why reality sucks.
But we are in it. We are not living in a dream.
Well, unless if you're Siti Nurhaliza (I really dislike her, but you have to admit, she's living a dream) or Maya Karin aka the Malaysian Princess (oh, how she really is THE Malaysian beauty!).
But yes, learn to be thankful.
Like my cousin said to me, Bersyukurlah ILynn (Be thankful, ILynn).
And so, I am.
At times I feel like the hard life is on me, but I should remember that God never gives us things that we cannot handle.

So, I believe that one day I will have that dream. With 80% confidence level, it is almost as if I WILL be living it. Who knows?
Once you learn to be thankful in your current life, you might have a great satisfaction in the end.
So, Be Thankful.
