A Strange Impulse

But, why?

Something Just Like This

Why is it that we could very easily forget the very thing that we wanted the most?

I used to wonder why people need to be constantly reminded to follow their dreams; to never let go of them, to continue pursue them, and never, ever, give up. I used to think that if someone is no longer pursuing their dreams, it probably means that they simply don't want it anymore; they probably want something more, bigger, or just something different. But, I was young. Boy, was I young.

The truth is, I lose sight of my own dreams very easily. I didn't give them up--not necessarily--but I just... settled. When I found my life to be acceptable, I wouldn't hesitate to agree to settle. But it wasn't my dream. I do have my dreams. It's buried somewhere between my acceptance of the things I have and the things I would be okay if I will never get.

The truth is, the world can make you a better offer. If you don't accept it--if you choose to be happy with the ones you have already accepted, you will never be able to go far enough to reach closer to your dreams. You have to make way for nice new things to come into your life and challenge you, motivate and raise you up. You are only as good as the choices you make--so choose wisely.
