Today’s Drifting Thoughts: [Dream] A potential to be built or a illusion to be shattered?

(11:27:26) Felix Leong: i think the thing is that you just have to get the best that you can grab and try to improve on the situation
(11:27:37) Felix Leong: a perfect scenario can only happen with great luck
(11:28:02) Felix Leong: can’t expect everything falling right into the picture frame squarely, right?
(11:28:25) Felix Leong: sometimes life is more like a messed up jigsaw puzzle than anything
(11:28:52) ♪.59: Love Labour’s Lost: and a long way to walk b4 reaching the destination
(11:28:54) ♪.59: Love Labour’s Lost: bleh
(11:28:56) ♪.59: Love Labour’s Lost: lol!
(11:28:59) Felix Leong: yea
(11:29:14) Felix Leong: sometimes i felt frustrated over that aspect of life
11:30
(11:30:06) ♪.59: Love Labour’s Lost: lol and got trick again and again thinking u almost there but then u hv god knows how many miles to go
(11:31:29) Felix Leong: the excitement of reaching somewhere always ended up being watered down by the journey that you have to go further in order to reach your goals
(11:31:53) Felix Leong: i don’t know, sometimes our aspirations and dreams can both be a motivator and dampener
(11:32:12) ♪.59: Love Labour’s Lost: yeah
(11:32:25) Felix Leong: it all depends on how much you can really overlook the price and sacrifice that you have to pay
(11:32:39) Felix Leong: or at least feel that it’s worth it
(11:33:08) ♪.59: Love Labour’s Lost: mor elike giving almost all not to mention sleep

(11:33:48) Felix Leong: the barrier is always there, i would say
(11:34:02) Felix Leong: i takes a great internal resolution in order to achieve that
(11:34:36) Felix Leong: a breakthrough of your current mindset and the limitations (internal and external) that was blocking you
(11:34:51) Felix Leong: … and whether is it worth “dying” for
11:35
(11:35:04) Felix Leong: (not particularly “dying in terms of physical death)
(11:35:14) Felix Leong: if you get my drift
(11:35:44) ♪.59: Love Labour’s Lost: oh lol! u mean if the job is worth dying for?
(11:37:30) Felix Leong: as said, not particularly mean a physical death
(11:38:02) Felix Leong: more like you are willing to sacrifice something you perceived as “important” to you at that current phase in life
(11:38:23) Felix Leong: note that i said “perceived as “important” to you at that current phase in life”
(11:38:43) Felix Leong: reason i said that is because we tend to cling onto things
(11:39:19) Felix Leong: even though that’s the very thing that kills us slowly but gives us small pleasures that we won’t let it go
11:40
(11:41:31) ♪.59: Love Labour’s Lost: hmm but then again it’s what i been wanting to do since small…it’s like dream job to me…it’s like u will not stop until u are there working the job u want, and there is no job can compensate that
(11:42:05) Felix Leong: but that’s the thing: your impressions of a dream may not match the price that you have to pay in order to put the dream into reality
(11:42:33) Felix Leong: so it comes down to how much sacrifice you’d put forth in order to achieve that
(11:42:54) Felix Leong: and then the decision whether you want to go forth to realizing it
(11:43:22) Felix Leong: we, as humans, can be weak

(11:46:07) Felix Leong: the impact of defeat is something that really tests the strength of your mind, body and soul
(11:46:25) ♪.59: Love Labour’s Lost: ic i c
(11:48:24) Felix Leong: if one can’t absorb the impact of defeat, that’s already the end of that dream
(11:48:41) Felix Leong: the thing is, you can’t foresee the actual weight/value of your dreams
(11:48:58) Felix Leong: it may be extremely valuable or completely useless
(11:49:24) Felix Leong: therefore life’s common dilemma: to be or not to be
