Identify your Dream Momento

 

It was exactly 1 year back on the same day when our family was visiting Disney World at Orlando, Florida, USA. That visit continues to stay as one of the most amazing, memorable and also one of the most inspiring trips i every had in my life till date (i am sure there are many more to come with we being financially free soon !!)

Well, it is so easy to get lost in the adventure, excitement, fun and frolic that these Disney parks have to offer you, that you could hardly think anything else happening in the outside world . We used to start right in the morning and go past mid night, and there was never a single moment where one can feel bored or short of adrenalin rush. The whole environment that gets created in the park with dance, music, fun and adventure all around, is overwhelming for anyone. This was our first trip to a Disney park and the excitement was overflowing.

Among all this fun and frolic that the park has to offer you, there is a subtle message that is delivered in the Magic Kingdom park of Disney World. This message is about the story of Mickey Mouse and how this entire kingdom of entertainment was created because of a dream of a single man, by the name of Walt Disney. While on the Magic Kingdom park, we saw a few movies that depicted the history of the origin of mickey mouse and realization of a dream. 

To me, these entire set of parks are the result of a dream of this one man, whose dream started with a mouse. He used his hand made drawings to sketch various moods of Mickey Mouse. While the world laughed at him for imagining a park just for entertainment at that time when making two ends met was the daily struggle of everyone's life. Over and above this, consider the fact that the foundation of this dream was a character none other than a mouse. Who would have imagined that dream would get converted into such sprawling park complexes across so many countries across the globe. There are so many such parks today around the world. The man, Walt Disney, was very sure of his dream and he had a particularly strong belief in the fact that "Dreams Do Come True".

While in the park, we also saw an amazing show in the evening lawns of the Cinderella Castle which reiterated this message that "Dreams Do Come True" if we follow them, chase them and go after it in spite of all obstacles.

I was overwhelmed and inspired, and kept thinking about the whole experience we had with our dreams. I did not ever wanted to forget this experience. While we were leaving the last park on the 3rd day after seeing Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom and Hollywood Studios, we were shopping for our own gifts and i wanted to buy a memento that can keep this overwhelming experience alive in my heart for ever. I got a hand sized Mickey Mouse memento which has his hands up in the air. I always keep this memento on my table at home. It gives me the required push whenever i am down and out. It reminds me of my dreams that i want to achieve once i am financially free. It tells me that nothing is impossible. I look at me the first thing in the morning to solidify my dream, and to keep moving ahead.

Here is a snap of the momento that serves as my "Dream Momento".

This memento always refreshes the memories of  Disney World and also reminds me that "Dreams Do Come True". I would urge you all to define a momento for your dreams, something which can remind you of your dreams every day. Seeing such a momento every morning will not only make you feel excited about your goals and dreams but also push you forward in the right direction

Happy Dreaming !!
