In the Fragility of Dreams

Life is so vast, a million pages is its book selecting all its best recipes for just one cook. It’s difficult, the view is impossible, the first attempt urges a switch the demands of this wish create holes unable to be stitched. The distance between now and the goal is a sea of sacrifice “you can achieve anything’ is one out of many more lies. Hard work should make the contestant also the referee in reality’s sport why won’t fantasy acquire some power to manage reward’s port? In the middle class, but owns a gold plated ring, is a reasonable step towards becoming a modern king. From the minister’s carpenter to the president’s boss is the magic on wages less than an Orphan’s budget is ultimately tragic. Sustaining weeks of traveling has an achievable means even if what is planned for is only a kilogram of beans. Desperately wanting a thing beyond the length of hands puts imagination way above all rock bands. To dream and to believe are not enough to create the symphony already half way the delicious meal, what is chewed still feels bony. Thinking big is as powerful as fast flowing streams reality rudely beckons in the fragility of dreams.

A wonderfully descriptive rite of your life experience and observations, Funom. People need positive mentors to achieve their goals. I have friends who were so fed up with not having they wanted, they went from Living in shelters to become millionaires. With mentors and momentum and only having ears for people who achieve dreams one day at a time. We live in cultures that tell us, to give up. Cash in the chips? One has to have a winner's mind to succed and never quit. Thank you, Panagiota
