There are certain strives in life which we have to fight alone, with no one even being aware of it. Such strives mainly refer to the conflicts of the mind. One has to win over such conflicts of the mind, or else the person is lost… Hoping and dreaming that something colorful is coming by our way rejuvenates one's thoughts, and fights well against the darker side of one’s own self. And so, dream of a colorful future, and at the same time, make the present colorful with one's own actions… <<<dream chroma>>>
