oh i loved this entire article! I was just thinking about this topic.. well in my way, not your beautifully articulated article.
I have plans, and sometimes i elude to them, but i never give the full story.. so many people judge based on their fears, and "what they've heard" . Then tell you, you will fail, because its hard, or it's not worth it. When i left the US 4 years ago to "chase a dream" i was laughed at ridiculed, and most did not understand. I did not tell them anything except i want an adventure, i still say that when asked about my life. As soon as you say I am doing xyz, they project and say well you will fail, i say so you have done it.. they always say NO, its too hard.
Yeah its hard, and that is why i love it. I was not brought to this earth to coast through, it is meant to be hard, since i was born i knew this. So when something is too easy, i think why.. what am i missing, and then the world opens up to me. Nothing worth it is ever easy, so cheesy yet so true.
Your words, are always so beautifully conveyed onto paper.. i am in awe of every post.
