Vagaries of life - dreams

Hello all, welcome to my blog once again. It has been long since i last served you, but nevertheless I was whelmed by the resoponses. So here I rant and rave once again. I'll try to keep it short and simple :D .
We all go through introspection once in a while when overwhelmed by vagaries of life. How often are we not surrounded by dark thoughts, thoughts about self failure. However, these thoughts could not prevent an optimistic hope that starts building concurrently with them. We always long for serendipitous events to unfold before us specially in the matters close to the heart. And it is this craving that acts like a high ocatane petrol that keeps us aloft in the pursuit for our dreams. Coincidently it is the failure of such events to turn up, that builds the doomsday feeling, and with it self despisal or rage. And both the cases are unconducive for the pursuit.
Unfortunately only few of us try to do the onerous groundwork neccessary to realize them. It's like a background loop that keeps on folding and unfolding but it never comes in front. This has been well exploited by writers like Ayn Rand and Paulo coelho. Try reading them and you would start to think yourself like an insignificant speck of dust and you begin to despise yourself. But before you start doing that read on :D.
So what is necessary is, to try and create the means to accomplish your dreams. Even the shepherd in "the Alchemist" had to work for years as an apprentice to the shopkeeper before he could set off for the treasure hunt. But such an approach in real life would take out all the romanticism present in your dream. The very methodical means needed to bring your dream in your ambit makes it uninteresting. And thus we again long for serendipity. This is the paradox that we have to deal with.
