Source Of Strength

When a person dreams of achieving his/her dreams in life, they need to be supported to stay motivated and uplifted. Dreaming big is not an issue, but finding support and guidance through one’s path to those dreams is the most important aspect. A person turns to their family and friends for that support. Tackling every situation on their own can be burdensome, but encouragement by their loved ones can make it much easier.

The first and foremost expectation of support is by parents. Parents are the two pillars of a person’s life to hold them up no matter how difficult the times get. Thus, seeking support and solace under parents is natural. Approval given by parents is extremely important to even take the first step towards their goals. Parents not only lookout for the best interest of their child, but they also guide them using their own experience so that their child can flourish in every aspect.

Friends are someone who knows a person’s individual life that they might not reveal in front of their parents. They grow up hearing about one’s desire to be successful as people tend to share even their deepest secrets with their friends. Being of the same age group, friends can throw some light on the subject through a different and new perspective. They can support one’s quest with an undying spirit.

The need for society’s approval is deep-seated in the system of human beings. They crave the acceptance and admiration of others. Though it may not be the healthiest of options, the urge to be accepted and respected for their choices is hard to ignore. Thus, a person while on their path towards their goals looks over their shoulders to gain approval and support of the society as well. And they tend to get demotivated if they don’t receive the validation.

And keeping the last point in mind, the most important supporter of one's dream is oneself. A person can have all the encouragement in the world, but with them doubting themselves, they would never be able to achieve success. However, if a person trusts and believes in themselves, then no matter the complexities in life, they would still be able to accomplish in life without anybody else’s support. Thus, believing in oneself is the key to the locked door of success.
