Every Journey Starts with One Step.

Every single person on this planet has a dream. That doesn’t mean to say they will make it a reality. Many people will spend their life just dreaming; falsely believing that they are not in a position to make their dreams come true. They will limit themselves with beliefs like being born in the wrong country, under the wrong circumstances, having little or nothing to offer, there’s too much competition, and so on. Beliefs like these serve to excuse ourselves from taking the right action to chase our dreams and who knows, change our lives. If we justify our lives with beliefs like this, we are creating apologies within ourselves for our inertia; ridding ourselves of any and all sense of guilt. They are beliefs that allow us to justify the circumstances we find ourselves in. Other people will fail to realise their dreams because they will allow fear to hold them back; thinking they’re not good enough in some way nor worthy enough. Insecurity and doubt are the snipers of creativity. Then there are those people who tried and gave up at the first, second, or third hurdle, challenge, or (what they think is) failure. Everyone on this planet is good enough and worthy enough. Just being alive makes you worthy. Out of all the spermatozoids that competed in your moves womb, you won. That makes you special among thousands before you are even conceived. Yes, there will be times you hit a brick wall. There will be times you blunder and there will be times when you question if it is all worth it. Well, let me tell you from experience that something is only worth anything when, first and foremost, we, ourselves, give it value and believe in it. When we believe in something, others will believe in it too. The Internet is proof of that. In this day and age, even misinformation can become an influencer and get a huge following. With life veering, more and more, towards AI and robotics, human conviction and passion will go a long way in the future; especially with a human touch. Not everybody, of course, will believe in our visions, but slowly and surely we will find our Soul tribe. If you do not put yourself out there and let the world see who you are and everything you’re capable of, you are not only depriving yourself of your dream, you are also depriving others of the potential influence you can have on their life. I understand fear and I know that the worst thing about it is the fear of fear itself. It is not the fear of reality, it is a fear fabricated in the mind. The truth of the matter is: If we never take that first step, we will never end up on a magnificent journey that could lead to who knows where.
