Don’t give up on your dreams

When did you stop following your dreams? I know you had dreams, desires, goals. Maybe even just a knowing feeling that somewhere in life there would be more than this. You settled for less than you deserved. Less than you were meant to be. Less than you dreamed of.

But then, out of the blue came one of those lightbulb moments. A realisation. A feeling. A sensation.

It’s Time to STOP Playing Small

While the enormous benefits of technology continue to enhance our modern lives and make communication instant and effortless, there is a darker side that can swallow our souls and drain our creativity, leaving us feeling empty and more alone than ever.

I think it’s the word CONSUME that’s important here. We live in a consumer-led world where almost everything is available 24/7. We’ve become impatient, greedy, needy and always searching for the next fix.
