Fear & Satisfaction

Follow your dreams, or they will become nightmares. - Paulo Coelho

Regret is one of the great fears.  It is something the motivates us and it can also be something that cripples us.  If we don't follow our dream, will we torture ourselves always wondering "what if?"  If we do follow our dream and it takes longer to achieve than expected, do we ever allow ourselves to move on?  Do we channel our original dream into a new one?  Is it ok to shoot for the moon and miss?  That's the whole point of that quote though, isn't it?  "Shoot for the moon.  Even if you miss, you'll land among the stars." You will no longer be earthbound, scared to leap, because you did it.  You went for it.  And there is a deep satisfaction in the journey.
