Dream chasers


Where nobody has dived before...

Doesn't really matter. Are you the first or not. Are you from a group of “been there, done that” adventurers. If you want to fill yourself with serenity. If you are just enhancing pleasures of your life...
What matters is, are you willing to follow your dreams?
 
a) life is meant for hard working and not following the dreams
b) better to sacrifice dreams and be more productive
c) success is based on reality and not on dreams
d) chasing the dreams and rainbow is success on its own
 
Three options to choose from for our nightmares.
And an option for our dreams.
Not just in diving, holidaying, partnering – in every aspect of our lives.
 
Imagine you do for living what you would love to do in your free time. Suddenly you live of something from what you were paying for before to do it.
 
Problem with wise advices like this is if you have no clue what you would love to do in the first place.
Sounds stupid?
I think not. Most things many people claim they love to do are based on what society expects them to do in their leisure time. When you do these things you show the society you can afford them, you are capable of doing them, and of course, you immensely enjoy doing this.
 
Would you happen to know somebody who is most happy in his garden, sipping coffee, reading an old book, and he buys expensive ticket to travel half the world away from his comfort?
Why?
Explorer? Searcher of the holly grail of the final truth? Barefoot doctor? Pleasing the partner? Just letting know his circle I can do it? Who knows...
Somehow I wouldn't advise this person to become a full time correspondent for Lonely Planet and fulfill the dreams. Even if he swears in writing, traveling is my dream come true.
 
We should really take a good, good look, deep inside of us, to see what we are craving for. Keyword is we, not our society.
And then, however bizarre it can be, this is our real wish, dream, desire...
From this point on I would say, go, go after it :)

    1. Your salvation is beyond seven mountains you have to climb, beyond seven wild rivers you have to cross... Or just around the corner...:)
