Giving up on your dreams ALREADY!?

This question rests deep in the caverns of every one of our hearts.

So, at what point in our lives do we give up on our dreams?

* When told, "you can't"?

* "You're not good enough"?

* "That isn't realistic"?

* "You can't make money that way"?

* "You'll never make it"?

Personally, I'd like to deliver a big

F(arewell) You to each of those ideas.

Chances are some of those came from people who thought they meant well.

Some of them were just a$$hats. (No, they were, I'm not apologizing)

Who the h€ll has the right to steal your dreams though, really?

Pray that we don't subject the next generation to this mental slavery either.

I wanted to play the piano the first time I saw it, and when I first touched the keys, it was met with an Aunt's nasty scowl of disapproval.

"He isn't good at that..", or some other vomit language that family members can be so prone to yakking up.

No $#! + Sherlock, the kid has never seen one before!

Thankfully, I've gone on to do things my small-minded relatives and former acquaintances would have deemed not possible.

Some, not all, but that's ok.

Among the things I dreamed of being were:

* a goalie

* a firefighter

* a professional snowboarder

* a Rock Star 🌟🎸

* a youth worker

* a writer

* a motivational speaker

Maybe they make you giggle.

What is important, though, is that even those that don't reach the peak of their field are often living their life to the fullest.

So, instead of taking possibility away from the dreamers around us, what if we gave them fuel?

What if we allowed ourselves to ponder the question, "What if?"

SO WHAT if we/they don't make "a lot of money"?

Too many people who have money have gained it chasing money and forgot the meaning, never really fulfilling their dreams or being fully alive.

The world is full of people who started late and achieved their goals.

Sadly, there are many more who gave up on even asking the question.

Many allow themselves to lead quiet lives of desperation, missing both money AND meaning.

Don't let that be you.
