Are you living your dream(s)?

Was watching "Step Up 3" last Sunday. It's kinda make me think whether everyone is living their dreams?
In the movie, each individual is said born to dance. It must feel good to know what you are born to do, and then most importantly do it whole heartedly.

Most people dream to be something. We start very young. Our teachers will ask us to write an essay on who we want to be in another 20 years. Then, we start to write about the profession which we often see, often heard, often read about; Doctor, Teacher, Pilot, Policeman, Stewardess, and the list go on... I guess, kids think it's just cool to be in uniform.
Kids then grow up. A very few of us stick to the essay that we wrote years back. We then go with the flow, following the trend, pursuing career to what make sense in the era that we live in.

Some dream to be a pilot, but giving it up, as it seems to be not so realistic. Then go into business, make it big, and happy to say that he is born to do business.

Some love to do business, who also talented in music. He then become your idol. Along the way, he starts his business in music/fashion related industry, and Boom! He is now your trendsetter.

There are people with religious view who see themselves walking the path as a priest, at the end, not forgetting the same strong belief, they are now engineer, scientist, the profession that they had never think of before.

Some 'gangster' in your high school become a police officer, and very dedicated to what he is doing now. It's life! :D

We all have a dream(s), to do what we love to do, what we are passionate in. However, along the way, practicality might be more important in life (sad but it's it!), thus we choose another path. Walking through it, we apparentely found it interesting, challenging, and in some cases it brings us closer to our dreams. What can be better?

I guess, not everybody can live the dreams in the way how they would like it to be, the way they have always dreamt it. Don't give up! By stopping, it get you nowhere. Not walking the path that we have always wanted it to be, does not mean that we are not living our dreams. As long as we are holding it tight, I will say I am on the way there!
Some say it just right "Don't Dream Your Life, Live Your Dream"

*Am I comforting myself? I will say I am not... But I need to confess that sometime I am lost! Fortunately, most of the time, I found my way back in track. Blessed~
