All The Difference In The World

Lustenau, Austria, 2016

  
  I feel, in today’s day and age, when anything is possible, it is so important to have passion. What is the point of having these magnificent opportunities in life if you don’t have enough heart or courage to follow through? 

  Growing up, most of us were told we could be anything we wished, but what no one told us is how it wouldn’t be easy achieving that what our hearts longed for… or how to stand up for our dreams, when no believes in us. 

  Have you ever had someone laugh when you told them what you actually wanted to do? I know, I have. I am not saying that they meant any harm, but they did harm. Didn’t they? 

  You shared something that was sacred to you, and watched as it became something mundane right in front of your eyes as a result of that good-natured snort. 

  The worst thing? It stays with you, this fear of loosing a dream because you dared to share it with someone. 

  The other side of this coin is when you find someone, who believes in you. It makes all the difference in the world. Doesn’t it? It gives you the confidence to acknowledge that you dream is not just a pipe dream you are pining after, that you might actually make it. 

  I feel, what should actually be told, to children and adults alike, is to have a little faith in themselves and the people around them because it makes all the difference in the world.
