Dream hard

Had been reading The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho recently since before CNY. I read it on and off whenever I have free time and whenever it is within my reach. Just now I read till the part where the shepherd finally fulfilled his dream after such a long and tiring journey. When I read until the part where he knelt down and weep in front of the pyramid, I have a sudden urge of weeping too. The joy of reaching the goal after all the hardship. It was the passion which pushed him towards his dreams. I almost weep for him.

I love adventure when I was very little. When I was 7 I love to go to the halfway constructed empty house with my neighbour and observed the worms crawling here and there on the ground, and touched the dirt in the moulded unwanted place. I climbed tables and jumped down to the floor in my house imitating superman and got scolded by my parents. Some time in the middle of my childhood, something changed me into a coward who stay only in the comfort zone. I didn't even dare to think twice on my dad's suggestion to go for a singing lesson given by his friend even though I know I love singing, just because I think staying in the comfort zone was better and because I didn't want to meet new people. I was seriously introvert to the extent that I didn't even walk around in the class and make noise when the teacher was not around (Now I think I've wasted my teenager life!)

When I was at my rebellious age, I was only wild in my dreams. I visioned myself to reach the top of Mount KK, I visioned myself to cross the river in Endau-Rompin National Park, I visioned to volunteer myself as a teacher in Cambodia. But having dreams is better than not having them. Maybe I was too keen about them last time, I think something is pushing me towards the dreams. But of course, this also have to do with my recent behaviour about stepping (slightly) out of my comfort zone. This action not only changed my perspective towards life but is also helping me achieve my ancient dreams almost 10 years ago.

One of my dreams - to climb the Mount KK - is going to be achieved soon! I'm anticipating to watch the world from KK!

And maybe a sea of clouds.

Kinabalu I'm coming!

I believe dreams, whatever they are, and how ancient they were, will come true sooner or later. It just depends on how much passions we put into the dreams we're having, don't you think?
