How Do You Feel When A Dream Slips Away?
You could be happy or relieved
There are times when we feel that we are close to getting something, it could be a new career, the latest electronic gadget or the latest bestseller, or connecting with someone new, and then it all slips away.Ā
I have had the experience of having my heart set on a new opportunity, a new book, tickets for the latest movie or getting to meet a new group when it has all slipped away. This can be because the book was sold out, the movie tickets were sold out, or something else came up and I could not attend the meeting.
When an opportunity slips away from us, we could be upset. It feels like the world has fallen apart, or we were cheated from getting something we really wanted. It is only later when we think about it, we know in our hearts, that the opportunity we did not get or the item we could not claim, was not meant for us to have.
On the other hand, there are some opportunities we have been waiting for our whole lives, so when we miss getting it we are really upset, and it is hard to recover. When we see our dreams slip away, we are crushed, and we feel demotivated. It does take a long time before we can get inspired and motivated enough to once again focus our thoughts on getting what we need, desire and want in life and which we believe will bring us happiness.
