Lovely morning.Dreaming is considered to be essential and every day we strive to reach our dreams and goals. But sometimes things happen that we never thought would happen, and suddenly our dreams are no longer in front of us.
I teach English, and my students love English.However, many students want to study abroad, do an exchange programme at university, or go abroad on a university programme but the programme has been cancelled or postponed. At the same time, there are students who had hoped to find a job where they would be able to use English or work abroad, but now that there are no longer any applications for these jobs, they have to choose a different career.
The pandemic has thrown a wrench into many people’s dreams and plans to achieve their goals. However, regardless of the fact that the future is still unclear,there are many people who are taking it one step at a time and doing what they can. Even if we set ourselves a goal and plan for the future, we should not think that this is our final goal. How we modify our life, or rather our way of living in life, when we are unable to achieve that result, may be a great asset in our life. If we think negatively, negative thoughts will take us as far as we want to go, but if we keep thinking negatively, it will be really hard for us mentally.
Sometimes we get depressed, sometimes we struggle to know what to do, but if we can find a way to move in the right direction, if we can keep moving forward, if we can keep trying to improve ourselves, and if we can keep moving forward little by little, then I feel that our past experiences will become more meaningful to us.
Maybe it’s because things didn’t work out, maybe it’s because of that experience that we are able to face our lives more meticulously, to find out what we want to do and,in the end, to become a better version of ourselves. Even while I am thinking about this, time is passing and circumstances are changing. If we don’t want to stay there, may we go along with the flow, step by step, and try to make the headwind a tailwind for ourselves. If we do this, maybe one day
we will have the chance to get closer to the dream we had at that time, the dream we gave up on, or maybe we will find a new world to move into. Yesterday I heard a lot of positive feedback from the students I teach and I feel as if my vision has just been opened up.
