What will you be when you give up?
Sadly, too many live their lives this way resulting in them imposing their expectations on their children to fulfil the dreams that they abandoned.
Every generation complains about the generation before them and loses sight of such behaviour giving the next generation reason to complain about them.
We’re a strange bunch.
We distract ourselves with emotions and abandon practicality, then distort our practical efforts to reclaim our emotions.
If you lose sight of what is magical in the present moment, you’ll eventually convince yourself that you’re just a dreamy romantic when you find yourself speaking longingly of all the amazing opportunities that you sacrificed to create some life for others.
Meanwhile, it was an effort to protect yourself from failure or rejection that caused you to sacrifice your dreams, and not any purposeful duty.
Dreams will remain dreams if there is no purposeful conviction behind it.
It’s possible to integrate your efforts towards your dreams with the practical life that you must live.
In fact, it’s essential. How else are our children supposed to experience such conviction about the value of this single life that we have if all they ever witness is the drudgery of labour and duty?
Can you even recall what dreams you abandoned in favour of acceptance or validation from those around you?
Strike a balance before the imbalance ravages your peace.
