I did something 2 days ago (technically) that still has me in disbelief today.
While I was sub-consciously seeking new patch of green pasture to frolic about, I did more than just that. I didn’t only reach for the stars, I went straight for the moon.
Which is completely completely crazy if you think about it. But crazy things are good (as are crazy people). Crazy ideas only come at rare moments when your mind is slightly off the tangent. And it is because of this tiny fact that crazy ideas are “so crazy that it might just work”.
So I entertained this little crazy idea without mulling much about it, which is weird considering how I think through everything at least three times before I go forward with it. But with this little mission, I became brave and somewhat confident in going forth to the battlefield.
Perhaps it’s because of a slightly bruised ego (which sometimes is too easily bruised) and a slight rebellion that was going within my mind that I decided to just go for it.
Why not, right?
It wasn’t as if it is a crime to dream big. I have plenty of dreams, still unrealized but I have never given myself any limit to what my dreams should be. It can be as wide and far fetched as my imagination can be. Nobody is going to stop me from dreaming about crazy things that might or might not be ridiculous or impossible.
Who cares really?
Point is, nobody should be faltered by any external influences or feel that they are not good enough to chase all their wonderful and extravagant dreams. Dreams are unlimited as random thoughts are on Tweeter. And it is up to you to grab the more interesting “random thought” – that might not be so random after all – and try to bring it into the realm of reality.
Make that cross. That giant leap that you are often so scared to take because you are afraid you will fall through and end up dead. You know what they say: If you aim for the moon – even if you don’t quite reach it – you will still end up among the stars. Cliche but true.
And who doesn’t want to be a star?
As for me, I took a rocket that comes with a broken brake – that might lead me straight to the moon (hello Man on the Moon!) or have me land among the fluffy clouds that look like cotton candy.
Either way, as long as I am happy, I am going to have the Carpe Diem! attitude and see where it takes me.
