Sir,

Human beings have different dreams, wishes or expectations of the future, despite the positive anticipation we have of the future; we live in a present reality which may be different from the future we anticipate.

Have you ever had a very beautiful and lovely dream that you wish you never woke up from? Have you ever woken up from a really terrible dream and you start thanking God that the awful dream you just had was only a dream and not reality?

We all have dreams and it is upon us to make them a reality. Irrespective of what people have said or are saying we need to make our heartfelt dreams become a reality.

Dreams transition to reality through the medium of hard work; it’s all about waking up from your bed every day knowing that you are actually going to do something about your dream or vision. Besides, who else is better in doing something about that dream other than you, the dreamer?

The greatest blunder you can make as an individual is to wait for someone to actually make your dreams come true.

If you do not do something about your dream, no one else will do anything about it. People will only assist you with your dream when they see you taking the

Colleen Matsebula initiative of making that dream possible.

When we think of heroes and heroines, and what they did in the past or what they are still doing in the present, we think they are so high and mighty and that they did whatever they did in some magical way. We forget that they are also human just like us. What differentiates them from the rest? It is the eagerness and vigour they had in relation to their dreams. They possessed the courage and audacity to go out there and make them a reality. They are where they are today because they took a decision to work on their dreams. You can also do the same.
