Following that dream, or was it someone else's?





So I was thinking, that dream that we all find ourselves trying to remember, or see ourselves chasing, whose idea of this dream was it anyway? Why has it become so damn hard and almost expected to have this amazing path in life that we're either a) meant to know about or b) figure out by analysing what makes us happy. I say we are all destined for greatness, but its our choice how we want to find it and to not make such a big deal about it. It's better when its not aspired to so highly, as we start doing what we enjoy just naturally, we're living it. Not thinking about it so much or wandering around aimlessly guessing if we're on the right track. Reflection is good, but overthinking is not as awesome. Just do what you want in life, while not trying to prove anything to others or try to go against the grain to create excitement, drama or troubles because you're bored. Go where the wind takes you, with the only direction being forward and you can't go wrong. So even as you read this, go do something, read that book that takes you to your happy place, run if you're antsy, go be with friends and have a laugh. Its not ignoring the important, but rather speeding up time until the important ideas and thoughts come. They seem to when not forced. If you feel like you're waiting for an answer, or some direction, trust yourself that it'll come in the right time and until then, just have fun.
Live your life :)
