Till now I had a feeling that we need to follow our dreams. It’s a difficult path. There are huge obstacles in it. Many go against it. Whatever it takes to reach your goal or to fulfill your dreams put on your full effort.

But I was wrong. This is a moral from one of the Kannada movies. It says that sometimes letting go of your dreams can be necessary to fulfill your responsibilities. This feeling of fulfilling responsibilities can be a blessing. This world is filled with selfish people, it can be your parents. They claim to do things for kids. However, deep down, they know they expect their kids to be with them till the end. They expect that their kids should be the responsible person to look after them. You cannot tie a person to responsibilities or personal surroundings. Set free a person, they would obviously fulfill their responsibility.

Be different, be selfless, be an obedient responsible person to the society. These actions give you immense pleasure. They can fill your dreams or goals if you find a path within them. When you are stuck between your goals and responsibilities, it’s best to choose your responsibility. This choice is better than pursuing a goal that might hurt many people around you. When you finally reach the goal, you may never feel the happiness or excitement you thought you would have.

Life is temporary. Live it meaningfully. If a decision you make can bring happiness to at least one person, including yourself, then it’s an ideal one. Remember there is always a difference between selfish responsibilities and selfless responsibilities. Do not push yourself to an extreme level of responsibility in finding others’ happiness. Instead, find your happiness in it. If that’s possible, do not have a regret for not following your goals.
