Your child is a big time dreamer. In his/her world anything to anywhere is possible in the shortest, the quickest and the most harmonious way.
A child possibly is aware of this. Do you realize this that a tiny being manages to communicate in a loudest possible way everything that he/she needs. Yes? Do you also realize this that they all are equipped with nothing that we conventionally believe to be the channels of communication?
Have you ever thought of this that once you have a child, you had it for a long time?
And what do we do with this dreamer and his dreams?
We give the same treatment to their dreams, that we received to our dreams. We tell them that to dream means your feet are not on the ground.That to dream is to live away from the reality. It is a pass time activity. Most of the dreams never come true.
So the underlying message we pass on to them is drop your dreams as fast as possible, bury them deep down and start living in to the so called reality. Start living like the conventional. start living in the flock and follow the flock.
If you have seen or read Jonathan Livingston seagull, then you all must have been touched by Jonathan's heroic attempts to live a bigger life for himself and subsequently for his community. A life that will help him to stretch his abilities. You would have found the the flock and the elderly in the flock to be unjust to Jonathan.
But have you realized that it is the story of all amongst us, people from the past and present who have declared their individuality. These people dared to declare their wildest possible dreams to the world and did whatever it takes to achieve them.
These are the people who are the genius people that we know. These are the people because of whom we are witnessing change in our lives. Life as a whole is evolving because of these people.
These people are going to be there always and will keep contributing to the world and the humanity as such ,whether others in the vicinity are with them or not.

But let me share something with you which is for you and for your children.
What ever is the contribution and the benefit that the humanity receives their is hardly any gain for all of us because of what these people did with their lives.
If at all you have to have that experiential benefit for your own life then it needs to be your very own experience.
Which means you have to follow the footprints of these people in principle,live a fuller life like them and then for sure you benefit from that experience.
To make it simple we have come across many parents who say and declare that they themselves have left their dreams long back and have buried them deep down.At the same time would want their children to follow and achieve their dreams.
If you really want your child to be big time dreamer and follower and achiever of his dreams he needs to see you doing the same.
Yes with the passage of years it is likely that your dreams seem lost to you or unachievable .The fact is it is not true. Yes you may need to dig them. You may need to go deep within in search of them. You may need to spare your time to do the same.One thing is sure, you have your dreams and dreams are something worthy cause to live for.You can find a purpose for your life through your dreams.
So dare to dream and help your children to believe in their dreams and help them achieve those.
