This was the title of a book I bought sometime back. A book filled with inspirational quotes presented in a graphical form. It was the type of book that will let your imagination run wild. But to me it wasn’t just a title. I saw it more of a life path.

An impossible dream is to dream what you always wanted to be and then against all odds, no matter how stupid or ridiculous it may seem to the world you take that step forward to achieve it. You take that step when your mom is shouting at the top of her lungs to, “Stop, or you’ll ruin yourself.” You take that step when even your friends give up on you, you’ll only find out who is actually crazy enough to stay, so while you may lose 10 regular friends,you’ll gain one companion for a lifetime. You take that step, even if the world laughs at you.

If you think what I say is stupid and impractical, then let me tell you a thing; there are people who’ve done that, they went about their business when the whole world laughed at them. They dared to dream that impossible dream when everything and everyone was against them, but today, how things have changed. Today those very people,those very fools, those imbeciles who crossed the intangible lines the rest of us have drawn for ourselves, those people who dared to challenge the unknown, while the rest of us locked ourselves into our safe havens, those very people are referred to by just one single word…..

“…Legends”

In the end I sign off with one such story of a person who dreamed the impossible dream
