"Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you'll land among the stars."
-Les Brown
This is one quote that got stuck on me ever since I heard it. It made me dream higher, aspire bigger and reminds me once in a while to never quit till I conquer.
As I grew older and learned some scientific explanation about the moon and the stars, it somehow sounded pathetic. Cause in reality, base on what science claim, each star is a lot bigger than the moon. Even our own Earth is bigger than it.
But in a dreamers perspective; looking up in the dark sky at night... wishing... dreaming... that round moon is the one casting the brightest glow.
I'm a big dreamer. I dream every time I could. I dream to get inspired. I dream to keep me going. I dream so that failure won't eat me up. It's something I hold on to when I feel like loosing my grip on something that I wanted badly.
Sometimes dreaming frustrates me; Getting my own car when I turn 18, be the top of the class, moving on my own place after graduation, getting my professional license, traveling around europe, falling in love with someone who would sweep me off my feet. Every time one dream doesn't happen is like a slap in the face to wake me up to face reality.
It's frustrating... It's heart breaking... But at the back of my head I know that I can't stop dreaming because it's something that fuels me to keep going. It's something that reminds me that after falling on my face; bruised, scratched, ashamed and ready to cry. The dream is the white ribbon ahead where the word "FINISH LINE" is. And that's what keeps me from dreaming. To hold tighter and never dare to loose my grip.
I'm currently somewhere in the stars. Probably jumping from one star to another trying to find my place. Taking my time as I loss myself on it's glow. I'm happy, I'm contented, I'm enjoying that somehow the glow is casting it's light on me. Filling me with hope, giving me some of it's brightness, just twinkling for me. But out there I still look up and search for the moon. Where all the big dreams that I haven't given up are. That beautiful round face which constantly smiles down on me.
Reach for the moon... And if you don't reach it and land among the stars... Hold on to your dream; the Moon... Don't settle and loss yourself on the small glow.
