Be a dreamer and live your dreams

NO IDEA IS TOO AMBITIOUS,
NO DREAM IS TOO CRAZY,
NO ACTION IS TOO SMALL.
NOW IS THE TIME TO RISE UP.
WE, 
THE DREAMERS, 
DECLARE THIS TO BE OFFICIAL
NOW

What's your dream? 
What's your passion? 
Allow yourself to dream, dream big, and make your dreams come true. 
Life is too short to not make the most of it.

Live, Love, Laugh, Listen, Learn.
Be positive, Be amused, Be amazed, Be yourself!

There are as many realities as there are minds to perceive it.



This TEDx Talk gave me an amazing insight on how different the world can be outside of my own head, or more accurately, inside of someone else's head.
It's an amazing lesson on respect and Jonathan Chase spells it out perfectly so I'll just quote the end of the video :
"[...] While you all shared the same experience, everyone has a unique perspective and you can't always see it from the outside. We have a lot of work to do in supporting those who are different and see the world differently. The first step is to recognize the differences between their view and ours; the next step is to respect those differences. We can all take these first 2 steps [...] today."

Every time you disagree with someone or you don't understand the way they act/react/go about something, even if you are 100% sure that you are looking at the same thing, remember that you might simply be looking at it differently. Stop trying to figure out who is right or wrong and accept that you can both be right (or wrong actually).

We spend an awful lot of time trying to prove that we are right and/or proving others wrong (it's actually our mind/ego's way of existing) but the truth is, life would be a lot easier if we just let it go from time to time. 
I see life a certain way, you see life another way, and life is something else entirely anyway...
