Imagine.

Close your eyes. Imagine. You could be anywhere in this world right now. You could be with whoever you want to be with. You could do whatever you want. What would it be?

Could you picture yourself with a billion ringgit? Buying all the shoes and clothes you've always dreamed of owning? Driving fast cars to pick up beautiful girls and bringing them to the most expensive restaurant with that gorgeous view? Do you imagine you were better looking? Or maybe slimmer, fitter, more muscular? Do you imagine that you could fly your private jet to Milan, to Paris or even to Antartica? Do you imagine you were born in New York, the city of dreams, making it big on Broadway? Do you imagine you're with that person you've liked and loved for so long? Do you imagine that they've finally noticed you and that you were going to get married and have ten kids?

Or do you tell yourself, that you are exactly where you want to be right now? Do you say that you're happy with what you have and what you don't have? Do you say that you wouldn't change a thing about your life?

Every self-righteous person would say that exact same thing. "I am happy with what I have because this is what I've been given". No doubt, it is the most cliche thing to say (ever) that you are content with your life and that you could die happy because you've lived a fulfilled life.

But what does that statement really mean? Do you really think you're humble by saying that? Or perhaps that people think you're more down to earth than the rest of the world? Less materialistic? A person who's able to accept the flaws of the Earth and their life and be a better person, blah blah blah?

Don't take it the wrong way, in some aspect, there is truth to the fact that being able to accept your life and be happy about it is a thing that is positive. But to be honest, I look at the people who say these things in one way - ambitionless.

How can you say you haven't dreamed of being a rockstar on stage or an actor/actress on the big screen? How can you look at yourself in the mirror and not wish your nose was a bit smaller or your eyebrows were further apart? How can you look at your bank account and not tell yourself, it'll be nicer if I had a couple more hundred (or thousand)? How can you go through your life, not wondering what it would be like to live in another country?

Ambitions are not just about careers. They are about dreams. No matter big or small, a dream is a dream. You want to be a surgeon? That is an ambition. You want a new haircut? That is also an ambition. The minute little feeling of 'want', no matter if it is that you wanted your finger nails to be longer or your stubble on your chin to grow faster, is an ambition.

You don't get to tell people in all your self-righteousness that there is nothing in this world that you would change in your life. Someone told me today that I am stupid to think of ever owning a huge mansion at the top of the hill, or to visit all the countries in the world, or that I would be able to achieve any of the dreams that I have set out for myself.

And I have one thing to say - if your ambitions, your hopes, your dreams, your aspirations, all of that, don't scare you, then they aren't big enough. When I dream, I dream big. I dream of having all the Lamborghinis and Bugattis in an underground carpark in my huge ass mansion. I dream of owning all the Louboutins and Jimmy Choos, all the Hermes and Chanels, all the Cartiers and Rolexes. I dream of the invention of time travel or the invention of flying cars, maybe even the invention of the cure for cancer. I dream of donating billions of dollars to aid in world poverty and help survive endangered species.

How far can I push my dreams, isn't a question. It is whether or not I believe in them, only then I can work towards whatever it is I want to achieve.

Of course, people would say that I am greedy. But to dream, is not to own. It is just a goal that I would love to achieve some day. It doesn't have to be every single one of them, but when it comes the time that I do achieve any one of the many dreams I have, then whoever has doubted me before, would just have to suck it.
