The vicious circle : Here 'water' refers to that vicious circle of external forces we find ourselves drowned in. For working people , the high-pressured demanding jobs and for others it is the never ending exhaustive list of household chores. It is this vicious circle, we procrastinate our dreams on. Pre-occupation with office work, demanding children and other priorities have made us left with no time for our creativity and purpose in life.

Purpose of life : Everyone of us has an abundance of undiscovered characters and hidden talents. The need to unveil them arise when one is yearning for satisfaction and a sense of achievement in life. But if you are the one who enjoy getting drowned in water, sorry, this read is not for you.

Unearth the pillars of procrastination : It is a natural tendency in all human beings to postpone things for tomorrow which can be done today. Each individual nurtures a dream of making it big and to achieve something extraordinary in life. But when it comes to realizing our dreams we try to put it on ice. Reasons could be personal (internal) such as lack of motivation or external , viz, the environment & circumstances we live in, which form the pillars of procrastination. Figure out these factors and find if they can be traded with your dreams. Say, do you want to overcome lack of motivation to realize your dreams or are happy just the way you are ?

Find an equilibrium : Next step is to complete an equation wherein you balance your dreams with other priorities. If it is demanding children , make their sleep time a bit early and give them ample time till they are awake, this way you have saved some time out for you also , completing the equation successfully ! It took 10 long years for me to figure out the equilibrium wherein I am able to balance my family and my dreams together.

'Life is a process of becoming' : Though we get only one life, with determination and strong will we can live several lives in all. One can enjoy parallel lives, donning roles of a mother, a wife, a painter or anything one dreams of. Finding sometime for yourself is not selfish, on the contrary it fills you with enthusiasm and self esteem, helping you bounce back and give more to your family and society.

Over the years I have sorted out these factors and these have been decisive in setting me on the road towards realizing my dreams. I would like to elaborate and share them with you in my up coming writings.

'And in the end it's not the years in your life that counts. It's the life in your years'. - Abraham Lincoln.

Many of us live in the make believe world of procrastination, wherein we take pleasure, prolonging our dreams and opportunities to the 'right time'. For some the duration of this time is short, for others it never comes.

I too was caught in the net of procrastination for many years, before conceiving the idea for my web site.

I took retreat in the haven of my home and family, trying to become the best mom and a dedicated wife. The euphoria of taking care of my family and home kept the mother in me alive, making the dreamer in me dormant for 10 years.

Many of my friends who sail in the same boat, console each other saying 'don't worry the right time will come someday' to fulfill our dreams.

Little did we know that' the right time never comes knocking at our door, we have to invite it'. The sooner we comprehend this, the faster we make our dreams come true.

Don't postpone your dreams,realize it today.
