Scattering stars like dust: Keep going, your dreams will come true.

 

“We come spinning out of nothingness,

scattering stars like dust”.


I love this quote from Rumi.  It has been on my Facebook status for a number of days. Every time I read these words I get a sense of invincibility. Rumi empathizing the greatness of humanity. The universe bows, bends and breaks every time a person is born, such is our strength, such is our ability. 

We are so powerful that when human life is created nothing is superior to us and we have the potential to shape the universe itself. The potential to achieve any dream we can imagine ourself.

I believe that each person has the ability to achieve anything that they truly desire. I also believe that humanity is wonderous. We all have different paths to our destination. But just keep on walking and you will hold all that you desire in the palm of your hands.  

Rumi and Roddenberry believed that humanity and each individual was, and is great, we must never ever forget that.

All you need to do is dare to dream, and dare to work hard enough to make it come true.

“We come spinning out of nothingness

scattering stars like dust”

- Rumi

Rabindranath Tagore Inspirational Quote (Image)

Rabindranath Tagore was a  popular Bengali poet, novelist, musician, and playwright who reshaped Bengali literature and music in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.  He was also the first  Asian to win the Nobel Prize for Literature.

Here is one of my favorite quotes from Tagore:

“Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm, but to add color to my sunset sky.”.

My story began with Network Bangla

I may be helping an American Bangladeshi Organisation and that reminded me of how this (me now) all started. 

In 2007 I helped found a Bangladeshi Non-profit organisation with three other amazing individuals, Sulthana Begum, Koyes Ahmed and Shuhel Miah. It was a wonderful time in my life. I was 22 years old and the four of us were implementing real change. We were working with Television stations and world renowned individuals. I always knew I could achieve anything I wanted, this ethos was pushed to the boundaries then and it still continued to come true. We were making some pretty cool things happen. Four normal kids from London were mobilizing a whole community, because it was something they decided to do. It took one summer to set-up and pretty much changed my life. I am from a medical background and this was the first time I was involved with Marketing of any kind. When we held our launch event it was attended by over 400 people from all over the UK and Europe.
