Unfulfilled Dreams - Thank God!!!

[Shringarey]

When I was in college, I had a great desire to be a stage performer. I wanted to be an illusionist and magician and spent a lot of time on it. I had many mini-performances.

Then life went on, paths changed. Recently, I saw a film called "The Illusionist", about a magician. All old memories came back. Today, looking back, I am thankful I did not pursue that line. There is a lot of work, and a lot less money and a lot of zamelas. I am happy where I am and Thank God that my dreams were unfulfilled.

Has it happenned to you? Yo had dreams that were unfulfilled and later on you were thankful that they were not achieved?

When I was young I so wanted to be a garbage truck driver/disposer. Used to watch them drive around in their cool trucks, stop near big garbage dumps (where all garbage used to be thrown around the bin and not in it), get down and scoop piles of garbage with their hands and dump it into the truck... sometimes with gloves but mostly without. It felt like a dream job. Thank gods I grew of out of it:D

When I was young I wanted to be nun. Thank God I changed my mind!

I wanted to learn the guitar and be a musician. Thank God I did not. Given the state of music industry today where digital downloads and piracy have made it a very very tough business to survive, I am glad I did not choose that as a profession. Yes, as a hobby I would have loved to learn the guitar.

I never planned anything but i am happy with what i have and where i am. But it does make me wonder what have i been doing with my time when all others were planning their future when they were young.

All i ever wanted when i was young was to have a car (obviously wanted my father to buy it for me) which never happened at that time.

Dear Child Rakhi,

You should have fulfilled your childhood dream. Because being a Nun and serving God is the best dream ever to be fulfilled. The joys of having to serve the poor and to thus reach out to my sweet Lord is just inexplicable. It is never to late to retrospect and do what you really wanted to. Succumbing to carnal pleasures is easy but to refrain from it and to consecrate your life to the service of mankind following the path paved by our sweet Lord Jesus is so accomplishing and rewarding that you just dont realize how difficult it is.

May my Lord shower His wisdom over you so that you can see the reality and set aside the dark glasses endowed upon by the devil in disguise. Praise my Lord.

Hallelujah !!!

I cant recall ever having any dreams. Consider fortunate those who dream and plan for the future while still in diapers.

It has been set of circumstances ... mostly.

My father enrolled me in typing school in the city. A typist in some Baniya's shop or factory would have been a good set-up for life ... he wanted good future for his son and typist was surely a huge leap. My mother had dreams and faith. One will have to have strong faith to dream of her son becoming a doctor, lawyer or a judge ... a son who couldn't utter one intelligible word ... takes faith and tons of blessings, and prayers, and miracles.

I still serve the poor Suhasini. its just that, I don't do it full time. Also, half the time the poor are just lazy and dont want to work.

... :rotfl: @ Rakhiji's ...

Rakhiji ... I beg to disagree. This hardly applies to India. You have poverty because Indian politicians feed on poor ... more the merrier ... vote bank.
