they must, too.

as you grow, your dreams and desires must grow, too. it does not make sense to be 25 years old and want only what your five-year old self wanted.

what’s difficult is that some dreams take many years to come to fruition. if you embrace a dream that takes 15 years to come true and promptly embark on that same day, you would inevitably have become an older (if not entirely different) version of yourself by the time that dream was in your hands. and what if now that dream is too small? not what you thought it would be? no longer what you desire, now that you had finally accomplished it?

ask yourself if you are brave. are you brave? are you brave enough to have more than one dream? to begin again? to step aside and let someone else have this one while you set off again, in pursuit of your next future? scary gives you the opportunity to be brave. courage requires fear. it’s not courage if it’s calculable. tomorrow is unknown, either way.

do not deny yourself your own growth. do not deny your dreams the freedom to change as profoundly as you do.
