🪦 Dead dreams, we all have them. I'm talking about the dreams, goals, or aspirations that most of us ordinary people have buried and left behind on the side of the road of our lives at some point. 🫟Somehow, life often has a way of making us "realize" that some dreams are just not for us, that we should just give up. And the idea of pursuing dreams seems impossible for everyday men and women like me and you, even the brave ones who dare to try. Now don't get me wrong, living an ordinary life is not necessarily something to complain about. 🎐After all, an ordinary life can mean that we have a place to live, loved ones to care for and that care for us, enough food on the table, maybe even time so relax and enjoy ourselves. All these things are comforts for which we can be very thankful! 🌱—However, more often than not, the reality is that most of us have dreams, talents, and potential that we don't understand or dare to explore. As a result, the majority of us end up going with the flow and not daring so pursue our dreams or goals 🪢. ⛓️‍💥Sometimes, this translates into living our lives with a certain level of disappointment for never having tried or accomplished some of the things we longed to do. Other times, we end up stuck in jobs or relationships that make us feel miserable and internally frustrated for never having pursued our dreams. This group is larger than we think.
