How long have you dreamed?

I watched some videos on YouTube. In a video, a player was interviewed by a reporter. The reporter asked an interesting question.

 

She asked that player, “How long have you dreamed of this moment?”

The player answered the question. I’m not going to talk about the response of that player. Nonetheless, that question kept me thinking about several things.

 

How long have I dreamed of something?

When I was a kid, I had a lot of wishes. I wanted to have something. I wanted to grow up fast in order to do something. There were many wishes or dreams. However, growing up, things might change. Our top priorities change as well.

 

One day, how about traveling, this idea popped up. I was thinking about making my first trip alone. I had argued with my parents. Nonetheless, one day, I decided to book flight tickets. I didn’t have any concrete plans. A friend told me that I was courageous. Nevertheless, I packed my luggage and took the trip.

 

I was nervous. Nevertheless, when I was walking on the street in Amsterdam, I felt that my dream came true. I was so glad. I knew that I made it. How long did I dream about it? I don’t precisely remember. But I do remember that moment.

 

A professional player has to do a lot of preparations to play in a game, to play on the world stage or to win a trophy. All we see is that he or she is in the game or on the stage, however, we didn’t see the preparations behind the scenes. Dreams will come true if you work really hard and prepare a lot. I kept thinking about that reporter’s question. What else do I still dream of? What countries do I want to travel to? What do I need to do to make it?
