Always Follow Your Dreams
Always Follow Your Dreams
There were once 2 brothers who lived on the 80th level. On coming home one day, they realized to their dismay that the lifts were not working and that they have to climb the stairs home.
After struggling to the 20th level, panting and tired, they decided to abandon their bags and come back for them the next day. They left their bags then and climbed on. When they have struggled to the 40th level, the younger brother started to grumble and both of them began to quarrel. They continued to climb the flights of steps, quarreling all the way to the 60th floor.
They then realized that they have only 20 levels more to climb and decided to stop quarreling and continue climbing in peace. They silently climbed on and reached their home at long last. Each stood calmly before the door and waited for the other to open the door. And they realized that the key was in their bags which was left on the 20th floor.
This story is reflecting on our life…many of us live under the expectations of our parents, teachers and friends when young. We seldom get to do the things that we really like and love and are under so much pressure and stress so that by the age of 20, we get tired and decided to dump this load.
Being free of the stress and pressure, we work enthusiastically and dream ambitious wishes. But by the time we reach 40 years old, we start to lose our vision and dreams. We began to feel unsatisfied and start to complain and criticize. We live life as a misery as we are never satisfied. Reaching 60, we realize that we have little left for complaining anymore, and we began to walk the final episode in peace and calmness.
We think that there is nothing left to disappoint us, only to realize that we could not rest in peace because we have an unfulfilled dream …… a dream we abandoned 60 years ago.
So what is your dream? Follow your dreams, so that you will not live with regrets.
My dream is to meet mr biggy in person and tell him that my mild illness was due to suppression over time cos’ not allowed to speak for myself.I just only made this discovery today.If you don’t understand what I am trying to say,it’s ok.;-)

Mi khoop ANTARMUKH zale hi strory vaachun.
Tell me Pravsj how many people may get chance to chase their real dreams ? Especially ladies in India? Not asking this because i am a lady. But it is fact that it is always expected from a girl/a lady to compramise. This impression is so strong in our minds that incase compramise is not possible for her she felts guilty about it.
But I will remember the moral of the story always. Try to lead the life as best as I can….
A very beautiful message keep it up & keep posting the heart touching messages.Thanks
Regards,
Airaj
Chani, I love you…
Ekdum correct saangle madhura….
I love whatever pravs said. From us the expectation is to always compromise in life. Before marraige by parents, after marriage by others…..
But you know what…I have stopped caring about those and have started living my life, but without dumping anything behind….I am living my life to the fullest ( a bit of compromising too in life though
Thanks for reminding me to focus on my dream and see how I can achieve it without waiting to achieve other peoples dreams! Nice piece.
@ben
I didnt get what you meant. Perhaps you can write to me
@Sue @Sashmita
It had the same impact one me too
@Madhura
You summed it yourself. Matters only to those who want to lead life they want to.
Nice one!!!!!
@Sumi
Khoop khush jhaalo he vachun
Fantastic!!! really fantastic, both, the message it conveys and the image choosen to describe the message……
But you know what, as fantastic, it is to find out at the age of 60,that you can still dream…..that the time for dreaming is not over yet, and even better than this, is the feeling, at this age, of being completely free to do it and go after it, what I think is not easy, not to say impossible, at earlier ages….
Thanks for a very nice story ..
But I have one question .. It is written that we feel unsatisfied about a dream left 60 years ago ??
Does it mean prior to the age of 20 when we did not live our dreams completely under pressure ???
Please explain …
Thanks
Jaya
Excellent… : )
Have a Blessed Day…

Cheers!
absolutely spot on!!!simple but true!! i hope our youth gets this msg across…
PRAVS IT WAS REALLY AN INSPIRATIONAL STORY. I HOPE THAT U CONTINUE SENDING US THESE INSPIRATIONAL STORIES….. I AM PROUD TO BE A PART OF PRAVS….
The story is actually reflating to the old folk who now only realize they are not doing good enough (wrong planning) when in young time and now suffering and keep on criticize about their children why don’t work hard yet they actually don’t know what happened in the world now since the technology keep on improving and they still thinking their own way out.
gr8 n wonderful story, every one should realize and let dreams come true….
WISE ARE THOSE WHO FULFILL THEIR DREAMS AT RIGHT TIME..THEY DON’T REPENT LATER
thanks , alot lets to gether forword ,wz ma love.
usama…
Wonderful one!!!!!
i agree with madhura on this one….
a girl starts her life on the same ground as men…but slowly is drifted into a different world where responsibilities overweigh her dreams…she has to choose between two paths 1-which takes her towards her dreams and the other towards the happiness of her family…
she ends up choosing a path which never takes her anywhere close to where she wanted to be (mind it…its she who chooses the path…giving away all her dreams, so she can be a good Daughter, mother, wife n so on…)
isnt it difficult to be free, be what you want to be…(its not that easy for a girl to be a rebel you know…)
after reading this and similar views i am happy as i am not alone in this world to think like this way….actually i have not big dreams but simple small ones and i will follow it as i dont want to regrete myself at the age of 60 thiking that i should have done this and that….
Its really a nice n inspirational story for everybody…….to look into their life back n C on which step he/she is standing & Where they wanna go……. :))
Thanks 4 d Msg….
i m blessed to read this…
thank u .
‘Always follow your dreams’ carries a beautiful message ! The english could have been edited!
Thank you Pravas, for such a wonderful insight thought!!
It makes one to start finding reasons of life again if forgotten during every meaningful stage passed by.
Thanks once again for reminding.
Pravs,
You will be amazed to know how many people you cheer up every day with your quotes. How many people’s hearts you touch. I would say you are truely blessed to be able to do so.
Just thought I let you know today..one of the many days that you’ve cheered me up..
Thank you for giving me hope..

Thanks Pravs, It is really an eye-opener. I will surely keep this in mind & take the decisions in my life.
Thank u for this wonderful message. If I had realised this before 10 yrs I would have been happy and peaceful now. I would have not fallen into depression and get advises from a docter.
i love it thank you
Simply Fantabolous…Cheers!!
Thanks to my dearest MT which share with me on this nice story wrote by Pravs J. Thanks to Pravs as well
Oh this is so inspirational, I wish I got this message when I was 20 years old!
Nice one.
Thanks..
good one !!!
It is a wonderful as it really help me to focus on my dream to make it come true. Thank you very much.
Nice. But preaching/moral has exceeded the story which should be avoided and be left to the reader for his/her imagination.
It blunts thoughts and leave nothing to ponder over.
Truly an amazing stuff to read and apply in life.
My dream is to prove to the whole world that my Dream WILL come true!
as ” EVERYTHING IS POSSIBLE UNLESS YOU DONT WANT TO DO IT”
by the Grace of ALLAH.
The story isn’t correct
They didn’t leave their ‘dream’ (and key) at age 20, they leave the pressure and expectations: that’s a good thing!
In fact, you write so yourself:
“Being free of the stress and pressure, we work enthusiastically and dream ambitious wishes. But by the time we reach 40 years old, we start to lose our vision and dreams (the key).”
This means you only have to go back to age 40 to find your dream back.
absolutely right.. i have experienced the same thing, n since i have started following my dreams, m a much happier and content person, instead of looking at others for my happiness.. i have started finding it in myself..which made me a much better human being, my acceptance level has broadened.
what we think as mistakes are lessons that god sets for us so that we could increase our understanding.
am still following my dreams..n each day walk at least one step towards them..:)
thanks for sharing this story, it again reminded me that m not supposed to stop
really good article…
I must say, its worth it! My link:http://bgtyrde.blogturk.org/ ,many Thanks….
