Lesson 1: Never Stop Dreaming

Lesson 1: Never Stop Dreaming

January 8, 2015

Sometimes while growing up, our parents, our teachers, our friends try to affect our own dreams. Most of the time they want the best for us, but as we discover in our life paths, only us can determine what is the best for each one of us.

I consider dreams to be the fuel to keep us pursuing a better life. Dreams could be the product of our wild imaginations or of our childhood years, influenced by what we watch, read, feel or hear.

We never stopped imagining ourselves in a different world, dimension or even planet, when we were kids. We had our imagination as our primary source of entertainment, but we loose it when growing up.

So, my dear friend, don’t lose it! Dream and you can get a lot of smiles. When I was a child I dreamed to live in India, such as The Beatles and Steve Jobs. Thank to a scholarship from the Indian Government (ITEC Fellowship program), I spent 8 weeks doing what I like. This experience gave me time to write, without pressure, without deadlines.

"The world is not in your books and maps, it's out there". Gandalf. With this quote of the great J.R.R Tolkien I live my life. I travel around the world discovering the diversity of the human beings, always trying to find the best in each experience and always striving to teach, to learn and to enjoy each day of my life. I like to share my thoughts in how to live a better life, from a perspective of an apprentice of the world's richness and diversity. People think I'm crazy because I have never followed a traditional path, but my own, visiting 18 countries in 3 years and with experience living in Colombia, Germany, Thailand, U.S and India. I have wrote a book and like to write a lot.

Hi Francisco, it is great what you have pursued…I struggled for many years with the fact that I too feel like i do not belong to one place only or to the traditional way of life expected by my family and friends so I am still finding my way around. All the best!
