Dreams

One of my dearest friends is about to leave to everything in the U.K. (her flat, her job, family & friends), to go on a solo-adventure to volunteer in Thailand. This friend of mine started as a waitress at a start-up business; who has the business grew, so did her professional career (you can see her story here).

I find this remarkable. If you had asked her a few years ago what her dream was, what she envisioned her life to become, she couldn't have imagined to be where she is today. I'm no different. If you had told me what was going to happen in my life in the recent years, I would ask if you were high. We don't believe our dreams can become reality. The scary truth is that they can. You just need faith and courage, a simple combination but simultaneously the most powerful one.

Like my friend had the faith it would work out, the courage to act on her dream, next week she will be in the beautiful, breath-taking Thailand. That could be any of us. The moment we stop justifying why things aren't the way we want it, the second we give ourselves a chance and have the courage, you realise life flows beautifully.

By no means am I saying that life doesn't have its challenges. It does. It's these challenges along the way, however, that help us develop the courage to reach that dream. It's these challenges that test our faith, and give us the determination to work harder to make it happen. Life wasn't made to be easy. Life, the biggest gift we have, is the most beautiful journey we could embark on; where some days we travel on some rocky roads, and others we have a taste of paradise.

There's a moment in everyones life that we stop justifying and start acting. So, when was the last time you fought real hard to make that dream of yours become true?
