The story OF A DREAMER *

T

his is a story of courage , of fighting against our own limits , our own fears . When I was a child , I wanted to change the world . Today I feel blessed that the world will not change me .
Things could not be further from the truth ! Early in my life I learned that the most important thing I could achieve in this adventure of life is to discover the true purpose of my existence , the reason why I came to this planet we call Earth .

In this journey called life it is the will of the heart that defines our destiny because to achieve our goals we must not only act but also dream , not only plan but also believe .
Anatole France

But the most important thing I ’ ve learned in life is so simple . To find true happiness the only thing I have to do is maintain that simplicity throughout a lifetime . Never forget the child that I once was and walk with him , with his innocence and with an open mind that nothing is impossible in life .
Life turned me into a warrior in this world perhaps because I chose to listen to the voice of my heart instead of following the advice of the society in which I was born and those who daily tried to hammer into my brain that happiness lies in becoming a millionaire and famous .
Simple learnings but with the power to transform a life . We should always live and never exist . Giving will always be better than receiving . It is better to be than to have and if you have it , share with others who are not as lucky as you .
