Dare To Dream. Make It Happen!
“Keep your heart open to dreams. For as long as there’s a dream, there is hope, and as long as there is hope, there is joy in living.” (unknown)
Ever since I was a little girl I have been fascinated by clouds. And by dreams. Not sure why the two are deeply connected in my world — maybe simply because I used to lie on the grass for hours, staring at the clouds and dreaming about life. Of course little did I know at the time about the vastness of life, I was simply mixing my curiosity and imagination with the knowledge I had.
I am not speaking of the kind of dreams we experience in our sleep, but the kind that are born in our hearts and created in our minds. The kind that are guiding us towards the truest version of ourselves. If not to say, the ones we are born, here on earth, to follow and to execute.
Execute a dream? Is this a thing? I am sure it is.
Everyone has dreams.
Only that not everyone goes after their dreams.
And this is what makes me the saddest. It must be difficult to push down your dreams, to rationalise why your inner voice does not matter, to put others´ needs and expectations in front of yourself. To give up just because you are afraid.
I am sure that it is harder to shut down (to ignore) a dream than it is actually to go for it. Why am I so sure? I am so sure cause I know how hard it is to lie to ourselves. It is easier to pretend in front of others that something does not matter, but we cannot hide or run from ourselves.
We cannot hide from our inner guidance and wisdom. I mean, we can ignore it until certain point. But.. sooner or later it catches up with us. Or we simply end up being one the many people sharing on their death bed the most common final regret “I wish I’d had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me.”
Said all that, why not to give it a try? Why not to listen to your inner voice and give a chance to your dreams?
