When the Dream Feels Too Far
<p><br/></p><p>She looked around the small classroom. Just 12 years old, her eyes sparkled with joy and expectation. The future seemed full of endless possibilities. She bent over her notepad, her heart racing as the teacher’s voice rang out:</p><p>"It doesn’t have to be long. Just write your dream and where you’d like to be 15 years from now.”</p><p>She started scribbling. It wasn’t extravagant, just heartfelt:</p><p> “I wish to be someone others can look up to, inspiring people with my life and story. I want to empower young women and teenagers to be the best version of themselves. A speaker, an influencer, a global voice.”</p><p>She read it again, a smile tugging at her lips.</p><p>Fifteen years later, she sat in a packed hall beside her boss, her eyes fixed on the podium. The speaker’s words echoed through the microphone:</p><p> “It is such a great privilege to be in your midst today. I have prayed, studied, traveled the world, talking to people, especially young women and teenagers. I empower as many as I can, using my voice to turn hearts to Jesus. It hasn’t been easy. Years ago, I remember writing in my journal about who I wanted to become. The journey was long, I almost gave up, but God never gave up on me.”</p><p>The words faded into the air, but the young woman’s heart pounded. That was her dream. That was the life she had written about as a child. And though she wasn’t there yet, she held on to hope: One day, it could be me.</p><p>This could be you too. Sometimes, we open old journals and see others living the very life we once envisioned. Not because we’ve failed or stopped trying, but because the journey takes time. Keep pushing. Keep believing. One day, you’ll be the one standing on that podium.</p><p>I remain,</p><p>Abbas_Comforted</p>
