In The Pursuit of Dreams

In Pursuit of Dreams

I read somewhere, “What a blessing to be tired in the pursuit of a challenge of your choosing.”

Take some time to think about it.

Reread it slowly, breathe in every word.

Now, for a second, close your eyes, take a deep breath in, and let it all out: the sigh, the stress, the weight.

Feel better?

Now let me walk you through what you most probably already figured out.

In essence, how lucky am I to be able to pursue my dreams?

How lucky am I to feel the slight ache of pushing myself more than I’m used to, so that I can run a few more miles towards my dreams. Running after them at a pace that has me falling asleep the second I hit the bed, only so that I can dream of turning those same dreams closer towards reality the very next morning.

So, take a moment, embrace the heavy back and tired eyes after a long day of chasing after those dreams, because even though it is a challenge right now, you chose it for a reason.
