A story about life

Today is the first official day of my vacation holiday. I would love to go on vacation and just be on a beach someplace, enjoying the sun and the water at my feet.

Have you ever gotten that feeling like you just want to get away and try something new and just be the person who lives in the moment?

Life is funny sometimes. As children, we have big dreams and aspire to become these amazing human beings and do amazing things or at least things that we think are amazing.
We enroll in schools as we are expected to. We learn. We practise. We apply. We fail. We succeed. We begin to move forward when we are ready. We pause, when we get stuck or when we get comfortable.
We later find a job either temporary or not. We find love. We decide to travel to see the world or stay where we are and create our own little world.

How often do we meet people who grew up with an idea or a goal and stuck to it until it became their life, their reality? How many of these people struggled along the way? How many failed and thought of giving up?

How many of us will never accomplish our hopes and dreams?
How many of those hopes and dreams are being or have been replaced by others?

When we become adults, what happens to that child's hopes and dreams? Are they lost? Are they forgotten? Do we see them as obsure or unrealistic?
Others make their hopes, dreams or wishes a reality to only see that they are/were not completely as satisfying as they thought. What happens next? Do we go back to what is comfortable and known or strive again for something different?

Do we dare to dream again? Do we take the leap to learn, to grow, to become and to simply, just LIVE?

In the end, certain steps are necessary. Certain questions, important. And certain experiences are vital for GROWTH.
