Dream Big

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!
