A Wonderful Dream Can Inspire You More Than Anything

 

 

Just five days ago, I had a dream that has stayed with me ever since. It was simple-yet powerful. I saw myself living a happy life, peacefully riding a rickshaw through my city with a joyful heart.

It may sound ordinary, but the feeling was extraordinary. Even after waking up, I felt it wasn’t a dream-it felt real. There was no stress, no sadness, no pressure. Just calm, lightness, and contentment.

After Waking Up

It took me a few moments to realize I had been dreaming. But the effect was lasting. That simple dream inspired me more than any motivational video I’ve watched in the past ten years.

Of course, my real-life struggles haven’t disappeared. I’m still going through a difficult phase. But the dream did something unexpected, it shifted something inside me. It gave me a new sense of peace and purpose.

A Simple Realization

In the dream, I wasn’t doing anything grand. Just traveling, enjoying the moment. Yet I was deeply happy. That simplicity made me realize what had been missing from my life.

We often forget that ordinary moments can bring extraordinary joy. We chase big dreams, but overlook the quiet happiness already around us. This dream helped me rediscover that truth.

The Cost of Chasing Success

There’s nothing wrong with ambition. But constant striving can take a toll. We keep chasing “more”-more success, more recognition-without pausing to enjoy what we’ve already achieved.

In this endless race, we grow tired, lose balance, and sometimes, forget how to be happy. The dream reminded me: success is meaningless without peace of mind.

A Shift in Mindset

I’m not saying I’ll stop working hard. In fact, I want to work even harder-but with a calm heart. I’ve stopped tying my happiness to outcomes. I’ll give my best each day and let the results take care of themselves.

When I’m tired or overwhelmed, I think about that dream. It brings me back to a place of peace. It may have been a dream, but the feeling was real-and I’ve chosen to carry it with me.

Slow and Steady

I used to value speed and big goals. Now, I’m learning to slow down and celebrate small wins. I remind myself every day: I am happy. I have the skills, the knowledge-what I needed was balance.

For too long, I was caught up in building big things. Now, I’m focused on building myself.

In Conclusion

I’m happy to be writing in this blog again. I no longer feel pressure to write long posts. Even 200 words a day is enough-if it brings joy.

And strangely enough, that dream still brings me peace. Whenever I recall it, something soft and quiet settles in my heart. Maybe that’s the message I needed all along.

How to Inspire Yourself?

 

When we think of inspiration, we usually imagine either inspiring others or being inspired by them. Very few people realize that we can inspire ourselves. As a result, we often depend on external sources or people to find motivation. While this is natural, it can complicate life-especially when we need inspiration the most but can’t find it. That’s why learning to inspire yourself is a vital life skill.

Easy to Inspire Others

As I mentioned earlier, inspiring others is relatively easy. If you can show someone that you genuinely care about them, they feel emotionally touched and happy. That emotional connection often leads to motivation-they feel encouraged and want to give their best.
There’s a deep link between emotional connection and inspiration. When we inspire someone emotionally, they respond with passion and effort. But when it comes to ourselves, it’s a different story.

Very Difficult to Inspire Myself

I have inspired hundreds of people in my life, especially through platforms like Facebook. I’ve built some of the largest groups in my country, and thousands of people joined. Yet, when it comes to inspiring myself, I often struggle-and fail.
Now, I realize that this is a serious problem. If I can solve it, it would be a major breakthrough. I'm good at inspiring others, but from now on, I must learn to inspire myself.

Look After Your Physical and Mental Well-Being

One key reason I fail to inspire myself is neglecting my physical and mental health. Inspiration isn’t just a skill-it’s also a strength. And like any strength, it depends on your well-being.
When I inspire someone else, they feel energized and try to change. But when I try to inspire myself, I forget that I first need strength-both physical and mental-to take action. Without good health, even the best inspiration won’t lead to meaningful effort.

Make a Plan, Have a Target

Before you try to inspire yourself, set a clear goal. For instance, wanting to be a writer is a great ambition, but it’s vague. You need to go further-do you want to be an online writer, a novelist, or a journalist?
Once your goal is specific, you can create a practical plan. That structure will give your inspiration direction, and you’ll be more likely to succeed. Sadly, many of us skip this step.

Think About the Result

Another powerful way to inspire yourself is to think deeply about the result. What will happen if you achieve your goal? For example, if I become a successful writer, thousands of people will read my work every day. That’s something worth striving for.
Thinking about the result can boost your motivation. But it’s not enough. To get there, you must stay focused, avoid distractions, and work consistently.

It Takes Time

Here’s a reality check: inspiration alone isn’t enough. You have to work hard-and even then, results take time. Many people mistakenly think that inspiration is a shortcut to success. When they don’t see results quickly, they become frustrated and give up.
That’s the biggest obstacle to success. So remind yourself that growth is slow, but consistent effort leads to lasting change.

Make a Hobby

Recently, I’ve come to appreciate the importance of hobbies. Spending 30 minutes to 1 hour a day on a hobby can refresh your mind and give you joy. Some people love reading, and that habit improves their thinking and writing skills.
A hobby can also become a hidden strength. So now I’m thinking about making “inspiring myself” a hobby-something I do every day, just like reading or writing.

Inspiring Myself as a Hobby

It might sound foolish or childish, but I’m serious. I want to turn inspiring myself into a daily habit-a personal ritual. Every day, I’ll spend 30 minutes to 1 hour figuring out how to motivate myself.
Maybe nothing will change at first. But after one month, I believe this small habit will turn into a powerful skill. And that would be life-changing.

Celebrate Small Wins

I feel good after writing this blog post. I already sense a change in my mindset. I’m now more focused on self-improvement, and I want to turn that into something I enjoy.
Interestingly, it only took me 30 minutes to write this. That shows I’ve become faster-and I believe this post is better than the ones I wrote over the past two days. I’ll celebrate this small win and use it as fuel to keep going.

Finally

From today, I’m starting a new journey: to inspire myself. I’ll treat it as a serious hobby and invest at least 30 minutes every day in it. I’ll explore different strategies and methods to keep myself motivated.
Because if I can inspire myself, I can achieve anything.

I Wish to Be a Blogger Again

 

 

Today, on 1 July 2025, I want to start writing regularly on this blog again. I know I cannot write every single day, but I can certainly manage one post a week. It really doesn’t matter whether others read my posts or not-when I started blogging, I began from scratch.

Earlier today, I was thinking that I need a hobby-something I truly enjoy. I decided that I would dedicate one hour every day to this hobby. And what better hobby than blogging? I’ve enjoyed it for many years. I started blogging in January 2006, and in just six months, it will be 20 years.

Now, I feel ready to be a blogger again. This time, I want to treat it purely as a hobby-something I do for fun and personal fulfillment. This post marks the beginning of that journey, and it also outlines my future plans as a blogger.

First and foremost, since I’m treating blogging as a hobby, I won’t worry about earning money or attracting visitors. What matters most is that I spend one hour each day just for blogging. This might include writing, reading about blogging, or watching videos related to it.

My main goal is consistency-dedicating one hour daily. I won’t aim to publish a post every day. Instead, my realistic target is to write one or two quality posts per week. Initially, I’ll focus on building a habit and developing regularity.

If I aim to publish one post per week, each around 2000–3000 words, I can break it down into smaller writing sessions. Writing 300–400 words per day would be enough. That would take around 20–30 minutes, and I could spend another 30 minutes on planning and reading.

Once the post is complete, I’ll publish it and let other bloggers know about it-just like I used to do back in 2009. I now regret not taking it more seriously at that time. Back then, I was a full-time professional blogger and had a team. Some of my blogs ranked very well on Google. Often, within just a minute or two of publishing, my posts would be indexed by Google.

Of course, things are different now. Google no longer supports small independent blogs like it once did. But as I’ve said, I’m not blogging for traffic, money, or rankings-this is a personal pursuit. I’ll focus on the process, not the outcome. Quality will come naturally over time if I remain consistent.

If it’s truly a hobby, then I need to be passionate about it and enjoy it. Interestingly, I’m writing this post using speech recognition software, and I’ve written over 500 words in just 15 minutes.

What matters most is regularity. I plan to publish one post per week but work on it every day. I cannot go back and change the past, but I can learn from it and use my experience to do something meaningful now. I believe I can be successful this time.

I know this journey will take time, but if I work consistently-just one hour a day-I'll see great results after 100 days. Since 26 March 2025, I’ve taken writing seriously. Now, writing 1000 words a day feels natural.

Today, I already wrote an article about the e-commerce industry in Bangladesh (around 950 words) to submit to a local magazine. Now I’m writing this blog post, which I expect will also be around 1000 words.

It brings me so much joy and satisfaction to know that I’ve started again-seriously-on 1 July 2025. Today, I ignored distractions. I didn’t waste time on Facebook, entertainment, or the news. I simply focused on writing. That’s how I managed to write 2000 words in English in a single day.

Now, my dream is to become a blogger again. In the past, I mostly wrote about the business of salvation. At this point, I’m not sure which topic I should focus on. For now, I’ll write about whatever comes to mind. Once I build the habit, I’ll be able to narrow it down to a niche. Right now, the best strategy is to just keep writing.

It took me only 22 minutes to write 750 words, and I think this post turned out well. If I had written like this in 2006 or 2007, it would have gained a lot of attention.

Anyway, I’m simply happy that I’ve restarted my writing journey from 1 July 2025. This time, I will not give up. I’ll give my best every day. I truly hope to become successful as both a writer and a blogger.

Thank you all for reading this post.
