Are you growing younger?

As a teenager, I always felt 'all-powerful' and 'knew' I could do anything.

I focussed on what I wanted to do and NOT on what is possible and what is not possible.

Then, life took over and I GREW up - and the word 'dream' was no longer in my vocabulary....

However, after a few battles, I saw people around me GROWING OLD, and realized it was time turn the clock and start growing younger!

Paulo Coelho writes in Pilgrimage:

When we are young
and our dreams first explode inside us
with all of their force,
we are very courageous,
but we haven't yet learned how to fight.

With great effort,
we learn how to fight,
but by then we longer have the courage to go into combat.

So, we turn against ourselves and do battle within.
We become our own worst enemy.
We say that our dreams were childish,
or too difficult to realize
or the result of our not having known enough about life.

We kill our dreams
because we are afraid to fight the good fight.

Actually, when you VERY CLEAR about what you want to do, then no fight is needed....one FLOWS, effortlessly!

So, are you growing old or younger?
