WHO SHATTERS OUR DREAMS?

Many times I have heard people confessing about their shattered dreams, seemingly to find blame from anything or anyone who had a hand in hindering them from achieving their dreams.

Now don’t get me wrong situations and people hinder us from getting to our dreams but do they really stop us from getting to those dreams.
The question then is who shatters our dreams? Are our dreams shattered by these situations or people or are we ourselves responsible for shattering our own dreams. This then brings me to stories once shared by prominent people of our time; Oprah Winfrey once shared that she was raped while still young but as we speak she owns a TV station. Joyce Meyer faced an almost similar ordeal but as we speak she has a church and ministers through television. Rebecca Malope was another victim yet she has been able to inspire many young ladies across the SADC region.

Joseph saw dreams and his dreams were hindered but he never stopped believing in his dreams until they came to pass. Nelson Mandela believed so much in a free South Africa that he even endured jail time for it and it came to fruition. South Africa’s DJ Sbu struggled at first in his own life as he spent most of his nights sleeping in the streets while trying to earn a living. Our very own Sipho Makhabane could not make it to the third grade but as we speak he owns a recording label. A former Brazilian World Cup player could not make it to second grade but managed to reach a high level of football. 

We have played the blame game many times especially when it comes to the shattering of our dreams; not really asking ourselves what we would have done to make sure that our dreams came to pass? Are we then to sit down and start pointing fingers at those who tried to hinder us from reaching our dreams or are we going to get up and start working towards them. It is even painful to know that there are people who have failed many times but never gave up on their dreams, they pressed on until their dreams were fulfilled. Some even had situations expressive to the effect that they would never reach their dreams but they never gave up.

Now don’t be among those to be blamed for your own shattered dreams, self regret should not be part of your sorrow list but try your best because if you stand up and work towards your dreams God will surely stand up for them. Blaming does not help the perpetrator, situation nor you but instead it creates a stressful life. Move from the brooding group and start looking for the right connections for the fulfilment of your dreams. Do your best and let God do the rest.
