Children of the dawn



Sometimes I wonder . . . *not*

Inspired by Paulo Coehlo facebook statement:It's the possibility of having a dream come true that makes life interesting. There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure. But if you don't fear, you will not fail


It is the notion (meaning - An impulsive, often illogical turn of mind or/and That which exists in the mind as the product of careful mental activity) that makes you believe in the possibility, that you can help a dream come to life, that makes life worth living and the nonexistent but acknowledged fear of failure becomes

a helping hand and not the driving force, that allows you to keep building castles in the sand, enjoy the creative process and the beauty created by the whim of the moment, what brings a smile to your face until the sea takes it all back with a sweeping wave of serenity:) it was worth it - next sandcastle is waiting to be built;)

sounds interesting. I think fear is an absence of passion. If you have passion for somthing, you love to do that and the road to success becomes easier. But what is success in itself? Once you reach the mountain top, you must climb down. I think living a life with a passion for something is all that matters. Did Shakespeare write to be successful? I dont think so. Writing was a psssion for him I guess.

In praise of mere "notions" indeed!
