Been a while I haven't been here, and for good reason. A
transformation has occurred. I see things differently. Yet, there is something
that hasn't changed. The dream. Yes, there's a big dream and several little
dreams. Not so little, mind you, just some not as important as the big one.
That being said, belief in dreams is indeed a statement.
Those who say they don't come true, haven't really set milestones or believed
strongly. The way has to be the right one. Or s it may seem, cos it's not
always easy to tell. In fact, it almost always isn't. Anyone would want to head
to a glitzy life in Europe. But if you have no choice but to go to South
Africa, you must. But while South Africa is a great place to be, it really
isn't where you want to be. So you must gather up every ounce of courage and
step out. Step out to the journey which lies ahead that will take you to where
you want, nay, need to be. And that means crossing the toughest, most demanding
circumstances. You will even have to battle for life, because giving it all up
will seem like an option when you're in the middle of the desert and think that
everything's done. Just when you think it is though, you may just hitch upon a
camel ride; one which takes you through the tough times and into less dry
pastures. Maybe they were once green, who knows? Your journey must continue
though. Take those steps, they are what will take you to the place from your
dreams. You must go on.
Through the hot sands and colourful desert town, and the
ever so rare oasis, you come across a glimmer of hope - a sign - which tells
you you're close. You must now take everything you've got and give it your
best. Tread lightly, but tread forward nonetheless. Morocco. The gateway to
Europe. And there you stand: wiser, stronger and more determined than ever.
No dream is too small or too large, it is only that which
you choose to achieve, and that which you consider too unimportant to pursue,
thus leading to complacence and the place you never wanted to be for the rest
of your life.
I wanted a Royal Enfield motorcycle. I wanted to ride
through the snow. I wanted to drive a big V8. I wanted to ride a
Harley-Davidson. I wanted to ride along the Indian coast-line on a big V-twin
cruiser.
I got my Enfield. I rode through the snow. I drove two big
V8s, I rode a big V-twin Harley-Davidson along the Indian coast-line. And now I'm looking forward to more small ones and that big one. Next!
