Dreams

Isn't that strange that we're always making plans that we don't even care to accomplish? I'm always telling myself I should go abroad a practice my english, but I never brought myself to do anything about it. I don't even have a passport! So I started to wonder, what if I stop saying myself I can't do that and give it a try? Well, come to think of it, I've spent so much money in the last few years that I probably would be able to travel the whole Europe if I had saved it all. Why is it that we're always telling ourselves we can't do something?

It reminds me a character from the book "The Alchemist" from a great brazilian author, Paulo Coelho. This character, a Shopkeeper, is a person who is afraid of following his dreams and then he became a very sad person. The fact is that he was perfectly able to fulfill his dream if he intended to, but he never did. He was afraid to take the risks. It's not a sad story though, it's a very nice book and I highly recommend it!

Anyway, I think that all that talking about believing in yourself, having faith and everything must have some truth in it. Maybe I should try to be more confident, take some risks, make some mistakes. After all, that's what life is about, isn't it?
