rainbow and gold

What is it meant by the phrase 'there is a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow'? does it mean that we should not worry as wealth and success blossoms as frequently as a rainbow? or do we have to strive to achieve our desires as a rainbow does not form with a blink of an eye. Gathering each raindrop shed by a cloud in order to form something so simple yet precious. A simple tear drop that is often ignored by people like you and me, whose power is underestimated by those who are obtuse. Fact is that a drop contains more power than a human does. With the size none bigger than an ant, a clear tear drop could multiply itself into 7 different colours. As for me, it takes a whole lot of effort to even multitask, what more multiply. Therefore, does a rainbow symbolize a persons dream? A way of God to remind us the reasons to live and die for. A dream is much like a rainbow. It takes passion, competence and resolute but sometimes turned down by the doubt of a person. As doubt invades our dreams, a dream shall not fade until you doubt yourself. As such, a pot of gold awaits each and every one of us.

As a rainbow consists of 7 colours, does this mean that options always await us. That the failure of one dream does not make us a failure of life or the journey through life is not made up by a single road but a combination of many. If one journey fails we could heal by switching to another. As the journey through life never shuts down, what lies ahead is the future that only you can paint and the past the only you can heal, shall we ever cast doubt upon ourselves as God never shuts his door upon us. For many of us, our dreams do exists but dreams we do not live. But for all of us, a pot of gold still awaits us.
