| STOP DREAMING, WAKE UP & START ACTING |
The truth is we dream and plan a live for ourselves, beautiful lives indeed, many of us even take the next step to actualizing our dreams but what happens next? We get married, we start having children and you get so carried away nursing our marriage, husbands and children that we forget to even sleep let alone dream. I have even seen and heard of situations where the husband insists the wife plays "stay home trophy wives". He probably is so egoistic that he fears his wife might get more successful than he is and so he helps dig the graves for their wives dreams and personally seal up the grave and decorates it so beautifully that the wife almost doesn't remember she ever had a dream- that's what I call "Trophy wifehood"
The woman is built in such a way that she can successfully handle family life and career perfectly, even though our society doesn't encourage us living our dreams.
I want to encourage us this morning to go back to our beds, dream, stand up and start acting not regarding what the society has to say. It is time we eliminate our limitations and break free from the shackles that guises in form of family to tie us down and shine out in our different capacities like precious stones. It is never too late girlfriends, and it is never too early to start living our dreams.

Nice one. I wish all Nigerian women can read this and reflect on it.
I don't think a woman's should stop dreaming when she gets married. if you really have a dream hold on to it, don't let family or any other thing get in the way of your dreams.
I agree with you, but that is the reality we live in.It is not as if she stops dreaming because of marriage, but she gets carried away by the activities of the family and even the society we live in encourages that a woman buries her own life and live only for family. That is when you are considered a good mother and wife.
Food for thought, a lot of us actually dream but the society today and this so called men think the woman is an inferior being hinder the urge to pursue once dream. I must agree that most women become trophy wives, only few of us who are adamant or have reasonable men who think about tomorrow and know that anything can happen actually make the women pursue their dreams. May God help us all to pursue and fulfill our dreams, nice write up.
If you really have a dream i think you will live for it, and do everything you can to achieve that beautiful dream of yours, regardless of what people think, or how the society had defined our lives or our roles.
I totally agree with you Mum trio.
