a Sunday thought

How often the mind knows to be tickled and tempted by dreams, knowing the possibility be there to bring it into reality. A dream reachable, a dream realistic...a dream possible.

And yet...one holds back. Why the fear to dabble in something new... why the fear to try...?

Why the hesitancy to apply oneself and take that shaky step forward in the direction of fruitful new beginnings?

Knowing to take example from others who had the courage to leap into the unknown...the faith that they would make it...but...first...arming oneself with research bringing knowledge, understanding and insight as to what the road forward could bring. 

An awareness of not only the success that lies ahead of such an adventure but, more importantly, the pitfalls and challenges that would inevitably present themselves.

And, should one indulge in ones dreams then, what foolery it would be, to imagine one should not take on board wise words of advise and critic that would know to polish away the roughness of naivety , the novelty of new beginnings...an amateur applying oneself diligently and purposefully to embracing that dream...

...what a waste it would be for ego and arrogance to raise its ugly head.

Adapting, fine tuning yet ,never forgetting that unique self , that personal dream balanced with the wisdom of those that went ahead of one.

And thus, to dig deep, be honest, and realise the very best in ones self, is the truest form of acknowledgement of ones self...no matter the path...no matter the indulgence.

A bravery commanding , a diligence addictive,a perseverance conquering..
