Email: Friends at school say ‘I’m a fool, a dreamer’! How to change? (US)
“You can only grow if you’re willing to feel awkward, uncomfortable when you try something new.”
I’m a fool, dreamer too! Life has some successes, some setbacks. Another way of saying we’ve ‘really lived’. Isn’t difficult to be what we always wanted to be – dreamer, creator? Live a life we’ve always wanted to live? Fools make mistakes, needed to be wiser!
At a sports event in school devastated, embarrassed at losing the hurdles race! Felt I made a fool of self, let the team down. Wondered what others think of me. So, I quit participation at sports events, for years.
Now, feel regretful not for making a fool of self, but for quitting over something so ridiculous. Missed out on sporting fun! Creative people are dreamers, adventurous fools! Curious to put selves out there – ideas, thoughts, feelings, plans.
So, don’t hold off, hide, wait for a better time. Be prepared for creative scars, discomfort isn’t an excuse. A golden gateway to infinite, incredible imagination, innovation, ingenuity, invention, inspiration.
All of us have passionate gifts. Explore, expand, freely express, experience what life has to offer! Never let go of your dreams, fight for it…!
