Dream Car

Ever since she was a child, Misu loved cars.

She knew the names of all the models.

She always said, "When I grow up, I will have the best car in the city!"

Some relatives laughed. 

They reminded her how poor she and her family was. 
"You don’t even have a decent dress!"

Misu had sensed embarrassment for daring to dream to own her car. 
----:----
That was two decades ago. 
Misu now drives the best car in the world.
She gives talks about her book- 'The Power of a Dream'. 

Guess who cheer the loudest in the audience?

Her parents!

  1. Perhaps dreams don't come true unless they come true for everybody. I guess it depends what we dream

  2. Dear Anita,

    Dreams can be powerful if the dreamer is driven to act on them. Good one.

    Shalom,

  3. I don't think dreams come true, they are a spark of inspiration. Goals, smart choices, sacrifice and hard work are the key to success. Perhaps I am splitting hairs lol.

    I like the message though.

  7. You've got to dream first for it to come true later, without dreams we are nothing. Nice one Anita.

  8. A wonderful testament to having a dream and not letting others interfere with it. Her parents must be so proud of her <3

  9. Dreams sometimes come true as do nightmares. Good for her though!

  10. Without hopes and dreams, life would be drudgery. I'm still, at my advanced age, clinging to my dreams :)

  11. The longer I live, the more I feel that living reflectively in the moment is the better choice. I agree that dreams have power when they motivate someone to action, but all too often - and like Misu - the dream is maya, illusion. She will never be satisfied with the best car in the world, because right now in Sweden a Russian oligarch is planning a better car - and only one will be manufactured...
