The Dream: Musings Inspired by Tangled

Credits to Disney and the owner of the image.

While watching the animated movie Tangled (for the nth time) with my two year old niece (yes people in the legal profession do watch such genre, or I think its just me :) ), my attention was caught by the scene wherein Rapunzel experiences a sort of fear of the unknown and Flynn encourages her.

Rapunzel: I've been looking out of a window for eighteen years, dreaming about what I might feel like when those lights rise in the sky. What if it's not everything I dreamed it would be?
Flynn Rider: It will be.
Rapunzel: And what if it is? What do I do then?
Flynn Rider: Well,that's the good part I guess. You get to go find a new dream.

There were moments when I used to ask those questions: when I was on the brink of deciding whether or not to enroll in law school; having difficulty juggling work and academics; missing out on bonding moments with college friends; struggling with a major subject; questioning the purpose of being in this field. I almost never enrolled in law school, it was like a dream already forgotten. But the thing is, when God gives you a dream, no matter how small that seed may be, it will grow and bear fruit at the right time, not a second too early, not a second too late.

So be like Rapunzel, take the risk and live your dream. :)
