I've once heard someone said that passion is the fuel to success, which is something I will not deny but what about a kid who doesn't talk about success, dreams, goals & all those stuff? Yes, I'm talking about a 6 year old boy that I've observed who just loves to draw, and is really into windmills, car wash, automobiles, hurricanes & tornadoes, planets & the solar system. And in one seating he can draw easily more than 10 pages including even internal organs as in our human body parts plus he is so into planets that he has created his own imaginary planets & naming them, remembering them by heart as if they were real like all the other main planets in the solar system.
I am one who love to observe & it just amazes me how awesome kids can be, a real source of inspiration if we really take notice. Sometimes I find what's lacking in us adults is the action taken to pursue our dreams & goals.....yup, procrastination is a thief of time & yes we have also heard that time & tide wait for no man but yet often times I find that we think too much & have lost that childlike faith ( am not saying that we rush in as fools because if we fail to plan, we have actually planned to fail ), in fact sometimes what I find we might lack is just a little more courage. As quoted by a couple of presidents - Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the assessment that something else is more important than fear ( Franklin D. Roosevelt ) and here's how Nelson Mandela put it: "I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear. I love the way this lady quotes it which sheds a slightly different light
“Courage is not the absence of fear but rather the judgement that something is more important than fear; The brave may not live forever but the cautious do not live at all.”
This is a quote by Meg Cabot, and if you've not heard of her she is a #1 New York bestselling author of books for both adults and tweens/teens.....maybe "Princess Diaries" might ring a bell?
So what is your goal or dream today? Or rather to make it more relative & relevant - what is your passion(s)? Will you then pursue it/them relentlessly? Will that undying passion awaken the giant in you? Will those unquenchable flames, the long dormant passions be unleashed, the potentials within be aroused so that we can be propelled forward? YOLO!~ Let's live life to the fullest & have no regrets!~ : )
