Dream Big, Then GO for it

Perhaps when you were 5 years old, one of your parents wired you to have an answer to 
"What do you want to be when you grow up?" 

Well, in all excerpts of that--John Lennon said it best, "When I grow up, I want to be happy."

And, since we were 5 years old, we accepted the inevitable question, so we gave an inevitable safe answer to it, most of which are filled in the blanks of [insert high paying career here].



Today, as the modern and classic millennials of my generation--we are slowly leaving the trend, breaking the rules of what college meant and to what it is now. More and more, you witness boss ladies rising up from their own creativity, young professionals with their start-ups making waves in Silicon Valley and globally all in t-shirt and board shorts. We are in the age of podcasts and pod-lodges, with tiny homes and travelling monks, geek squads with a revolution, off the grid minimalist authors, and iTouch electronic everything, syncing and linking with each other. We are all part of this technology that was once indeed, just someone else's dream.

When you are asked, what do you want to be when you grow up? Do not just 'follow' a dream, CREATE it. When you envision your happy future, you don't follow that--you create that, you make it happen. You go to work, and you go all the way. 

You keep on going.

You want to abandon yourself to get to the point where you can answer yourself, 
"What did I want to become when I grow up, that will make me happy?"
