Quite the opposite

Contrary to what most people believe, I honestly do think that we were put on this earth to fulfill our dreams.

That little dream in our heart.

Everyone has one. At least I'd like to think so.

But quite the opposite to spending every waking moment trying to find our dreams, most of us prefer to bury our head in the sand and forget about it.

But dreams are a funny thing. If we don't try to fulfill it, the dream itself becomes like a bitter pill inside us, it makes us sad and angry in the process.

And so when others come to us with their dreams and their hopes, we can't relate to it with admiration because we're still nursing our pain from our failed attempt.

So what do we do?

We admonish them for being so naive and tell them to get a real job.

We break their hearts and their spirit.

We tell them the opposite of what they really need to hear.

We should be telling them, 'Yea, go for it'

Maybe that's what we wanted to hear and we didn't, but if we had heard just that, maybe we would.

Go for it.
