When I grow up....

Spoke a bit about the dreams of youth in my video today. How the things we dreamed of doing or becoming when we were small aren't at all what we are doing today. For some this is fine. For others this is something that we carry around with us on a daily basis. Either way...lessons. As I sit here I'm trying to remember the dreams I had when I was young. I remember running up to my mom very excited about something I wanted to do and couldn't wait to share the good news. But I was always met with my mother basically telling me that my ideas were unrealistic..or out of range for me. Now not to bag on my parental unit. She was just trying to protect me in her way. We didn't come from a family that encourages..so this is a new concept for us. So What did I learn...don't reach too high. Don't dream too big. The risk is too great. Failure is to be avoided at all cost. Well, now that I'm an adult (finally) I realise that this isn't really a great way to live. Why not reach high? Why not dream big? Risk can be exciting. Failure happens to everyone in some capacity once in a while. Helps us to grow..right? So here's to F-ing up once in a while while dreaming big and reaching high it's worth the risk.
