ARTICLE ENTRY 3: WALKING THROUGH THE WAY OF DREAMS

• Reflection to the article “ON DESIRES AND DREAMS”

“ON DESIRES AND DREAMS” is a great article because it is very inspirational to hold on to life. Seeing the words “desires” and “dreams” was a good reason for me to read this article. I think these are key words or should be key words to achieve our goals. The second reason for me to read this article was the relation between these words and the meaning of my name. All the words I like such as “wish”, “hope”, “dream” and “desire” are close to the meaning of my name. I always use these words to feel strong.  

Firstly, I liked the theme of this article. Anything about life is worth reading to me. Briefly, the writer finds out the ways of reaching his desires with the help of his friend Tess Welch. She tells him that simple steps can make his life better. She calls these steps “magic”. She suggests that he should follow five steps to reach his aims. However, it is meaningless for me to count things to do because they are all the same. They are all about realizing what we want, finding strategies and making a move. In addition, strategies can change from person to person as everyone has a different attitude towards life. Consequently, the most important step for everyone is to find unique shortcuts to the way of manifesting desires.

Secondly, I liked this article because it is different from self-help books. I do not like reading those books. They are always telling you what to do. I think reading that kind of books is a waste of time because problems cannot be solved by reading self-help books. People should look at the real life and wake up. They should only do what they want to do instead of listening others. This article includes the dialogs between the writer and his friend. There are some parts where we can hear the writer’s own voice as well. I think this kind of writing is much more effective than a simple form because monologs and dialogs make people curious about the story. That is why it is impossible to stop once you start reading this article. It is not boring as self-help books.

 Lastly, it is time to share my philosophy on this topic. I am not playing the glad game in life, but I like thinking positively. I believe in the power of positive thinking. Additionally, all the thoughts and feelings may really shape our little universe to some extent. What you think or want will come to you somehow. Thus, you can say that I also believe in karma energy. However, I am aware of the fact that positive thinking and karma should not be exaggerated much because they do not guarantee your achievements. They should not make you blind believers. Instead, they should enlighten your mind and way. Final step is to never give up. You should always remember your dreams and desires. You should fight for them and never lose hope.
