Does your dream have gravity?


                      "After dinner, the weather being warm, we went into the garden and drank tea, under the shade of some apple trees...he told me, he was just in the same situation, as when formerly, the notion of gravitation came into his mind. It was occasion'd by the fall of an apple, as he sat in contemplative mood. Why should that apple always descend perpendicularly to the ground, thought he to himself..." It is the manuscript for what would become a biography of Newton entitled Memoirs of Sir Isaac Newton's Life written by William Stukeley. The apple may not have hit Newton in the head, but let's still picture it that way. The fallen apple let him come up with the "Law of Gravity".

                       Lazing under an apple tree, the scientist was hit by an apple on his head, which got him thinking as to why the fruit had come down instead of going up? There had to be some kind of a force pulling the apple downwards. The scientist called this force gravity. Being a psychological student, I was wondering what could be running in young Newton's mind at the time while he was sitting under the tree. Being hit by an apple on the head would have been painful. I somehow have this gut feeling that the young scientist's mind was completely absorbed with thoughts about the apple always descending perpendicularly to the ground. There are books which state that Newton watched the apple tree not just while sitting under the tree but also while working in his mother's garden. Probably, the apple tree in the garden was fixed in his mind. I wouldn't be surprised if Newton dreamt of the apple tree and it's fruit falling down and not in any other direction. Bingo! Newton found direction for his dream. The passion to find a satisfying answer to his curios observation gave him the result. The result being - "The Law of Gravity didn't go either side wards or in any other direction but just landed in his thoughts".

                    It's the same with everyone. We have our own gravitational forces which we tend to ignore. These are the ones that help us realize our dreams. They always land themselves right in our hearts and not side ways or upside. It is up to us as how we feel them. Gravity of our dreams shows us the signs of possibility. A possibility to achieve our dreams. A possibility of looking at a chance and take it. Many times in life we give up and accept failure just because we don't realize how close we were to being successful when we give up. We choose to ignore the gravity of our dreams or rather we tend to forget how powerful our dreams are. But the fact is that no dream is small. A dream has the power to move the minds of men. A dream can never work against you. The gravity of your dreams would not let anything against you. There can be just one owner of a dream and the one who believes that his dream has the gravity is its master and would eventually see his dreams coming true.


                 This question is for you. Does your dream have gravity? Gravity to succeed?
