I had a Dream

In the dream, I was on a college campus and there was a fashion show and about 10 beautiful young ladies were competing for the grand prize and I was in the audience. The prize was to be awarded to the person who dressed the best during the school year and included the day of the show.

The contestants stood up on stage. (if I can call it that because, the scenery was like an open field) and the host announced the winner…….and everyone was distraught and unsatisfied with the result because the recipient of the award was not the best dressed and even the clothes that she wore to the show did not match or reveal any class. There was murmur in the crowd as a protest to the result. The young lady came forward and received her prize and the host called on her husband to join her…the husband came forth along with their daughter, whom she kissed and was not too happy about her husband being on the stage with her.

The show was not over yet but people were so sad, included the host that for a few minutes nothing was going on and there was desolation in the place. As I am sitting in the crowd, I could even touch their pain, hear their sorrow and mostly in the contestants expression, as if life just lied to them.

So I grabbed the microphone and started talking to them, reminding them about what really mattered and painted the picture of who they were and all the treasures that they carried in the inside of them…. and ended the speech by saying: “the show must go on…. you will have defeat in life, you will experience deception and rejection, hurt and sometimes life might seem unfair…. but the response that you give to it all is very important because it can be a building or breaking point…. and I encouraged them to stay true to themselves, to never loose the essence of who they were…. and that, each of them had hidden gifts, talents that needed to be stirred up and that they can still make it in spite of any misfortune…

It was as a flower blossom under a raindrop, all of a sudden they started cheering, not for me but for themselves and saw all the possibilities ahead and started to hope again, dream again and they knew that they were all winners….
