Poem: Pacific Beauty

Wake me to the scent of the frangipani and the fresh grass around me               
Spare me the description and allow me to roam free       
Under the clear blue sapphire sky
The Pacific beauty opens up my eyes   
Show what I have never seen
Take me to places I have never been
Pacific Beauty I wonder why

Wake me to the touch of the cool breeze against my cheeks
To the touch of the salty liquid under my feet   
Under a palm tree I yearned to see
This ever glistening beach in front of me   
Pinch me to remind me that I’m not dreaming   
Proof to me that this is more than a feeling
Pull me down if I’m way too high
Pacific Beauty I wonder why

Wake me to a whole new serenity   
Hold me close before the night embraces me
Speak to me before the silence allows me to escape
Chase me before the crystal water reaches me
Confide in me the peace of in-civilization
Now the palm tree is all but a blur
The sound of the waves are heard from a distance
Don’t wake me but   
Assure me that I will return to the place of the sun
Where the stillness of the environment meditates in me   
Where I can be lured easily   
Where the smile awaits me to capture the scene in my memory
Where casual never ends
Where little is everything
Now I know why
Pacific beauty is more than just scenery
More than illumination
More than a dream way or safe haven in a foreign nation
More than a treasure in a floating villa   
Pacific beauty conceives me inside and out

Writing with the Heart!

Drifters & Dreamers Writing With The Heart!

Well here I'am again. Its been a while since my last post i must say it's not that i finally decided to shut this blog down. No Way! I was simply too occupied but now i' back and with a whole new idea. We all dreams and our dreams began with ideas if you are a person who always like to take notes than good on you because I'm about to unleash the first step and the foundation of achieving your dreams. Are you ready?
WRITE IT DOWN.

That's it, you must always have a pen and paper handy because inspiration comes at any time and you need to take note of it.
Any time, anywhere especially when you are not aware..then BAM! There it appears. It is important to note the words of wisdom or advice down because there will always be a time when you feel the burden of doubt (which is human). And you know what Walt Disney say 'Keep moving forward'. Watch the film 'Meet the Robinsons its an awesome animated film, it is motivating and captures why you are important to your future.





To conclude this post i have many things i want to share about Dreams and how to get to it. I can't say i have achieved that, no... I can only say 'You are not alone, in fact Never alone' There are millions of people out there who are still searching for that stepping stone. If you already found it don't forget to share it.

Now this blog Drifterz and Dreamerz is dedicated to Poems, Short Stories and Lyrics written by people with big dreams. If you want your writings to be featured in this blog be a follower and contact me.

You, Me and this thing called Destiny!

 You are what your deep driving desire is,
What your desire is, So is your will
What your will is, So is your Deed
What your deed is, So is your Destiny

You would be what your destiny is.

So here I'm again. Yes again and i added emphasis in that word.
So hows your dream going? well mine still going good, still trying to get out of my nest and get on location (if you know what i mean). Sometimes it's easily said then done but you've gotta start somewhere, if you think just dreaming about it or talking about it is not start anything than you're wrong. You don't have to get things done physically to say you are progressing, the biggest progress in achieving your dream is to talk about it to someone and dream about it more.. believe me this kicks in the motivation(and you need motivation to proceed).

Well this week is something... the humble astronaut Neil Armstrong whom is the first man to step on the moon has died (which we all know). He has avoided the spotlight many times saying what he did is not only done by him but with the help and knowledge of many staffs in the control room and from experiences of cosmonauts who have made earlier discoveries. Well i must say he has achieved his dreams not to step on the moon but the dream to fly.

Did you know that he got his pilot license at the age of 16 before he could even drive a car. He always want to be a pilot after he sat in an aeroplane at the tender age of 6. The hopes of becoming a pilot made him thrive well in mathematics and engineering, guess he was born in the right place huh? I mean with that dream to be a pilot one day can easily be achieved when you have the industry around you. Imagine someone like that growing up in the war stricken area of Syria or in Africa. Anyway the fact about Armstrong is his goals led him to greater heights beyond his believe and that is to lead the mission to the moon. Did you know that your home PC is 10 times stronger than the computers used in  the shuttle and they are huge unlike now we have laptops and notebooks (insane). So all the thinking and navigation has to be done by the pilot and those on the ground, one mistake is vital because unlike now the computers can not correct your calculations.
Okay before i go on forever about space stuffs this post is not about NASA. Its about people making their dreams come true, some by pursuing it from the start some just by chance. People like Armstrong i believe made history just by chance he was already living in his dream as a pilot and participating in the war as member of the US Air force and then NASA released the hunt for men fit for the mission to the moon and he just happen to fit the bill just like the first man to orbit the earth Cosmonaut Yuri Baragin. Destiny can reveal your biggest leap in life it's something we have no control of. But how do we make sure that kind of destiny comes our way.

Firstly What is Destiny?
Wikipedia definition states that Destiny or fate is a predetermined course of events. It may be conceived as a predetermined future, whether in general or of an individual. It is a concept based on the belief that there is a fixed natural order to the cosmos.

Well don't mind the cosmos or the eccentric words behind the origins of the definition above. In my definition Destiny or fate is something that happens for a reason or crossing paths with something or someone that is not considered a coincidence. Have you ever wondered how destiny led you to meet people you now call your friends. How do we know if destiny led you and not pure luck. I mean eventually you have to meet someone and they are going to be your friends so that can't be destiny...right? Well my friend i would like to introduce to you the 3 golden ways you can identify your destiny calling.

1) When your path crossed several times on your field of interest.
Meaning if you happen to be at the wrong place but on the right time or the other way around. Like you never actually planned to be there but something tells you, you should and then you come across an opportunity that you just can't afford to let down.. (something like that). Sometimes you will realize that destiny is like the french term 'De ja vu' you will see or think you saw the past repeating itself in front of you, and the strong feeling like you've been here before when in reality you didn't or feel like you say those words once and doing this once when in reality it's the first time for everything. Destiny made it clear that this feeling is all you because you want it so bad. And it is calling you.

2) When several options are laid out for you and among them is you field of interest.
   It will be hard to chose one and leave the other cause all of the options are good maybe good    money, travel or more fun. Destiny is calling you to choose, take note that these opportunities comes rarely so maybe you should put into consideration things like how long you wanted this to happen? Do i want this or do i need this? If i choose the other one will i be denying my field of interest? Dude, the only person you will be denying is yourself? But you have to remember sometimes what you are interested in right now, will only lead you to what you will settle down with in the future and that's the role of destiny. Every twist and turns have its reason. Let me tell you this Destiny is more revealing when there is a cross road in your life.

3) When you can make sense of a situation.
I like this one, because its true. You will know that destiny is calling when you make good sense of the experience or environment around you , if you can't make sense of it don't force it you are absolutely doing the wrong thing or at the wrong place in other words 'lying to yourself'. Remember destiny or fate is something we can not decide on.... its not even physical. But here's the fact, when you feel comfortable with your life and feel like this is it then that's your destiny.
For example have you seen the film 'Machine Gun Preacher'?

 Its so cool, OK briefly. This guy was once a drug addict and after coming out of prison and a few more troubled experiences he chose to follow his wife and became a christian. Anyway he went to Africa following a mission and ended up falling involve with the poverty stricken area and homeless orphan children in the war zone. He later on built an orphan center to house those unfortunate children till now that's what he continued to do. The center burnt several times but still he continued. He finally settled with his destiny. Going to Africa was not a mistake it was deliberate. You should watch that movie.

So i hope my post is clear as the crystals on the Himalayas. Its all based on my findings from the research i conducted ever since i know my name...lol!!! Hope it will help you to acknowledge your true calling.

Who's Stopping You or What's Stopping You

Who's Stopping You or What's Stopping You

Hey dreamers or drifters. Welcome back to another dreaming post this subject just stuck to me i guess thats what happens when you have big dreams right?.. anyways you really don't wanna know where i'm typing from right now. Its Friday and for me it is "THE FRIDAY". Nothing special just glad to have a weekend spend it with Mom and dad and the family and of course catch up on some movies, very inspiring movies. In some of my posts later on, i will definitely share with you some of the inspiring film I love to watch but for now lets talk about the heading above.

OK. Let me get this right. You want to be something else in the future but your parents are holding you back? Maybe a dancer and they say thats not a real job. Or a singer but because you never sang to them they feel you are wasting your time, if thats not close how about you want to be a doctor but financial problems are holding you back from even sitting the CUT test. You want to be a pilot but there ain't no pilot schools near you and no scholarships for trainees so you sat back under a palm tree somewhere with the sand between you toes and watched

the aeroplanes fly above until it disapeared between the clouds imagining how the clouds and islands looked from up there.
Undeniably most of us kept on wishing on a falling star or even in broad daylight. I myself find myself repeating the words "I wish" every time something remind me of my dream job. Many obstacles are holding us back (No doubt about that) but some of the obstacles are barely necessary, some of the barriers holding us back involves with in our minds which evolves in our head.
Let me break it down for you according to my findings based on my costless research entitled "According to Myself" which i have been conducted ever since I know how to spell the word "Dream"....(lol!). No seriously.

What is Holding you back?

That is the significant question and always will be if you don't address it. Sometimes we have to make decisions that some people close to us will consider it as drastic or too mature. But hey everything is worth trying. And NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE TO A WILLING HEART.

Some factors holding you back can be:
- Distance
- Family
- Finance
- Illness
- Mindset
- Past experience
(Did i miss anything?)

Please allow me to elaborate.

Finance

Going to school is a burden to parents especially if you are a very sensitive teenager. Wanting too many things and peer pressure brings you down hard that you find your grade smiling back at you with the worst letters or figures in your life. Scholarships can be hard in this situation and you might turn to odd jobs to build a simple saving. The good thing is its never too late to learn and achieve your goal.
If what you want to achieve is way too expensive then there are people with money about but you have to be persuasive and show the new you and show why you are the better investment for them. People will be willing to invest a great sum on someone who displays the potential. Do short courses, get many experience and be involved in your goals, the wind will blow you to the people that pays this could be the solution to your financial problem.

Family

Families are the first people to support us or destroy our dreams. It doesn't mean your parents don't love you. Some parents just don't know when to take in the fact that you have to leave the nest and chase your goals. Have you seen the film 'Colledge Road Trip' its kinda like that. If your family is holding you back then you have to pursuade them why it is the best alternative for you. Show them what dream plan. But you must leave room for their complaints or comments because like it or not they are the first people to invest in you by paying your fees. So you gotta feel for them.

Distance

I like movies and i wish I'm a film director or actor but I'm from the pacific. There are little or no
opportunities for people with interests like mine. I search for advices in the web and one main
answer to make your goal come true is "I've got to get on Location". Location? Location? LA,
New York, America? England? Australia? It's far. Well this is not only for movie makers but other careers too. To find the right jobs you have to have the heart to move. Again slap me if im wrong but saying it is easy doing it is tough. If you think moving is tough then you have to change your mindset.

Mindset

Check out my earlier post on Changing you mindset. All i can say now about this is, ones mind is
strong which is why you have to have a plan and write down the reasons why this is important to you. And be sure to write down all the good that can come out of your goal once you have reached it. Every time if you feel down or discouraged don't take drastic actions and just QUIT. NO no way. Remind yourself you are not a quitter. Refer back to your goal plans and what you write to build your courage again. This works, by doing this you are building or adjusting your mindset. True success comes from people who fail. Somehow Failure is the best way to succeed.

Illness

This is a very tough factor because some genetic illnesses just won't heal thus causing a massive hit to your future dreams and goals. Or even a tragic accident can turn your whole life around. I'm no expert and i can't say i know what its like but thanks to Empathy I emerse myself in that world. What i find is although your dreams are shattered by an accident or illness its never too late to keep on dreaming and help others to achieve theirs by your experience. If you feel you can still do it then the only way is to train yourself to keep it going. The film Men of Honour is a good inspiring film or Soul Surfer or even the stroy of Ryan White. Dreams don't always turn out the way you want but the best part of life is to make other people realize what they have and be greatful. To put your footprints in the sands of time.

Inspiring films you've gotta watch!!

Past Experience

This factor is rough, depends on what experience a person has in the past. Some people from broken family did well in achieving their dreams because they do not want their child to have the same experience. Or they want a good life for their young sibling for example Oprah Winfry from her wikipedia you will find that she grew up in poverty and look at her now (billionaire i
see). Let your past be the way forward for you to the future. I believe in the words "To understand the future you have to revisit the past" coz what goes around comes around right?...
The solution is in your scars.

To conclude the bottom line is understand the factor that is holding you back or stopping you from achieving your dreams. Understand it. Deal with it. The final i like is "JUST GO WITH IT".
We've got one life to live make the most of it without hurting yourself and the ones close to you.Well i think Ive touched on everything Ive mentioned. Find your stepping stone in the factors to achieve your dreams.

Thanks for reading... Cheers!!
