The Power of Dream

I was so confused about my dream before, I mean I love psychology and art, so what should I do in the future? However, God showed me the way and I got the answer when I wrote an essay for GOI Peace International Foundation in 2012. I want to be an art therapist.

Okay, here’s my essay, The Power of Dream, I hope you enjoyed it

“You might not realize it when it happens, however your worst experience would be the best thing that happened to you.” Walt Disney

The statement gives clear message that if we know how to handle the failure properly, we’ll be more successful than before, but if not, we will fail. This happens because every crisis carries two elements, danger and opportunity. Therefore, no matter how difficult the circumstances, no matter how dangerous the situation, at the heart of each crisis lies a tremendous opportunity.

There so many people in the human history can success through failure. These people know the secret of finding opportunity within crisis, and they never understand the meaning of limitation. With their graceful effort, they always defy repeatedly until they realize their objective.

With the power of dream, they challenged themselves to create impossible and incredible things. More than just wishing, they combined with vision, planning, and action. They do not dream for a day, they dream all day, and they dream for a living. I believe everyone in this world has a dream, dream for a better world.

When we talk about the world, let us take a moment. Think of what happened in our world now. Can you feel it?  What do you think to make our world be the right place for living? 

As we look around at the world's problems and wish they would go away, but they stubbornly persist despite our most heartfelt desires. People starve, communities fall apart, violence thrives, families fade, and nature disappears. We continue with our lives as if nothing is wrong. However, sometimes it whispers in our, about the guilty feeling for that something has gone twisted. How did we end up here, as we know the reality does not give us any happiness?

“If you want to make the world a better place, take a look at yourself and make  

a change."

Of course we can make the world better, to create a completely new world, which full of hope. There are nothing impossible in this world since the main things that we must have is just small amount of space and strong desire to change, to better, more fulfilled life.

This should be starts from our self. Changes from simplest step that will not only make you a better person, but will also make the world a better place to live in. It is best way to realize your dream and passion.

I have a dream in my life; I want to be a psychologist who succeeds in developing artistic assessment and treatment tools for children with special need. The main reason I use art as my tools is because I love art, I love painting and I really want to combine psychology and art. Art is very helpful to help me express idea, thought, and feeling.  Study conducted at the University of Minnesota, USA shows art therapy is a great tool to encourage non-disabled children to initiate interactions with autistic children Monitoring two groups of autistic children (one younger, one older). Expressive arts therapy does not have to be used only as a treatment though. It can be used to relieve stress or tension, or it can be used as a mode of self-discovery. Many people can stand to use some sort of creative outlet.

I also want to have my own clinic, so I can implement the training and development program about creativity especially for children and adolescents. The Opportunity is to help them in increasing their creativity so that they can be more creative and innovative.

“There is no doubt that creativity is the most important human resource of all. Without creativity, there would be no progress, and we would be forever repeating the same patterns." 

Edward de Bono

I believe in  everything that comes to my life has a purpose “ God always know everything and I have to find the reasons  no matter difficult it is till I understand it.” We have the reason, the vision, the power, and the technology to create an amazing New World. Now, we have a way to bring it all together in a cohesive global movement, where ordinary people change the world by working locally and impacting globally.
