Disillusionment
Question boggles me. Does self-belief make us disillusioned?
Everyone has some dreams and aspirations. These are cherished desires one wants to fulfill. A life without dreams is not worth living for. (Well, not exactly, maybe you have just outgrown each of these desires.) But the question now arises are you worth these dreams? Can you ever live up to them? I want to be great singer, but I don't have the talent for singing! Having a dream is one thing, but having the capabilities to achieve that dream is another.
Self belief is good, everyone should have it. If nothing else, at least it makes you feel positive. But have you ever questioned this self-belief. Is your self-belief in line with your capabilities? If they are not, they are just disillusioning you. It is better you face the reality that maybe your dream will never come true.
Have dreams but have realistic dreams. Maybe the effort you are putting in for these unrealistic dreams is not worth it. Maybe it is never meant to be. Having dreams is very important, have dreams that are more realizable. But how do you get to know that? Experimentation! Try, try your level best. Try until you are tired. Life isn't about giving up, not so soon. "If you never try you will never know" - Coldplay.
Life is all about experimenting and adapting. Learning and adopting. Living and laughing.
I never knew this graph existed until I wrote this blog. I was looking for a picture to make the post more interesting and see what I found. Ahh! my theories are not useless, great minds have worked on them.

It's snowing!
It is snowing outside. The gentle snowflakes sailing in the wind and then gently settling on the ground. Everything is covered in a white sheet of snow. It is so beautiful, it is so pure. You look up and you see the Arthur's Seat covered in a layer of snow. Everything is white, everything is pretty.
N.B. Each time I look up the Arthur's seat, it want to go climb it. I will, after the exams though. One day is reserved for Arthur's seat. Anybody else game for it?
Tiny snowflakes fall on my head. I am mesmerized by them. I stretch my hands and look up in the sky. Is it real? I ask myself. The beauty invigorates me. I silent prayer comes to lips.
No, it is not my first snowfall experience, I've had many before. But yes it my first, first snowfall of the season experience. One day everything is green and colorful and the next day everything is white. Like the mode of the camera has been changed from color to black and white. The beauty is breathtaking even if you have seen this a million times (provided you have an eye for beauty!). Not to forget the cold, also, takes your breath away (literally). And all you wish is to go inside, in the warmth of the heater. But once inside all you crave is to be out in the snow!
