Don't lose sight of your dreams.
~
Just because a few things haven't quite gone your way, doesn't mean that you have to run and hide and lock yourself away from the world.
~
Don't take things too personally, many things will happen over the course of your life that will break your spirit, break you down and make you feel a bit jaded about life.
~
But don't ever lose your zest for life, lose your beauty within and your wonder for the world around you.
~
There is little point in being bitter and bottling up your emotions to such a point that you no longer feel or see the beauty of life and your own existence.
~
Good times come and go and the same is true for people, money, opportunities and even the tough days that shake you to your core.
~
I may have taken a few hits in my life, I've humiliated myself many times and I've been disappointed in my actions more times than you could imagine. But I always made sure I never lost my zest for life and my wonder - even when I couldn't find my self or look at myself in the mirror.
~
There is a big wide world out there, but you won't truly know or fully comprehend how big the world is if you don't take a moment to look up and see its beauty, its wonder and the endless opportunities that exist right in front of you.
~
You don't have to lose sight of your dreams, everything you want and can create is in front of you, not behind you.
~
You may not be feeling inspired or energised right now, but that won't always be the case. Go for a walk and touch, see and feel the beauty of life and your potential.
~
Open your heart and mind to what's possible and be intrigued by the world around you and others, because it's that child like wonder and zest for life that will often keep your spirit alive.
~
Continue on your journey, don't ever lose your spark, no matter how dark the night and ferocious the storm.
