Developing projects

       Everybody has projects in life. Then, we love to predict our future and create our aims and avoid obstacles when they occur, and we try to keep our optimism to deal with them. The future is like a white paper waiting for us, and we fill it with our imagination. On the other hand, some of us like to visit the past, nostalgically, to imagine it from other perspectives, to change it and manage it in a different way. Why can we not think of our future in the same way? The question is: if we think of our lifespan, our past is bigger than our future when we are getting older as well as when we are young our future is longer.
         Must we be humble or not when we think of our life projects?
        The future has to be planned carefully while the past only can be imagined how it could be changed, and then let our imagination run wild. The past brings to us nostalgia but this time does not return and it’s possible that if we had this chance, what would we do? We would be inexperienced as well. Would we be able to lead with our future knowing every step and information we experienced before as well? Or would we make a big mess?
         Then, we are back to the question: Do we have to think of small projects or big projects?
        Who’s happiest? Is the one a humble guy or the one who thinks great? Of course, we can think of big projects but, first of all, we have to think that our steps cannot be bigger than our dreams. And dreams are like clouds that change at all times and go away in according to the movement of the wind. Dreams can bring storms and we can use them to learn more to keep our dreams in a safe place.
       Then, dreams are connected with great thoughts, and ample space in our minds to be occupied by them. Someone can say that when we are thinking of small projects we are connected with reality. And if young people are humble with their future projects they are thinking like old people. What’s the solution?
        How many times did we boost our dreams and use our curiosity like an adventurer trying to reach his goals, and we are ready to celebrate our victories? When we celebrate our victories it’s time to make a deal with ourselves: we have to continue boosting our dreams.
         Do not avoid your dreams as if the future were short. And don’t think small. If you think so, what are the obstacles that stop young people to go on to reach the top of a mountain? Maybe their life inexperience, because it teaches us to prevent stones in our path and we can learn where are the shortcuts that life teaches us.
         We have to choose our goals to reach and protect them and think ahead. If an unexpected thing appears, physical or spiritual, and we think small we will be sick. In this case, we have to wait for a moment because life experience teaches us to ride the horse when it is passing, ready to carry us. When we think great it’s the moment that we don’t lose opportunities, whatever our ages.
