Smaller version of your dream
Dreams should motivate us, to move forward and feel happy when we achieve them. Sometimes we get so lost trying to achieve our dreams that we forget to enjoy life.
There always exists a smaller version of your dreams. I love riding motorcycles. It gives a feeling like nothing else, a sense of freedom, movement and all that fun. But I had to give up riding my higher-capacity bike a couple of years ago for reasons I may discuss in the future. Although it was something I always missed, I had hoped to ride again in future. My mind fixated only on the long mile-munching rides I used to do over the weekends.
Unless I had the machine and time, I thought I couldn't achieve the happiness of riding again. Last few months, I have been riding my small-capacity scooter around the town. I have re-discovered the joy of riding again. I love the fact that I can still feel the thrill of riding. With a less capable vehicle, you can push it to its limit for any thrill you might be looking for. But given the traffic in my city, slower speeds are much more practical and enjoyable.
I am enjoying riding again on my 100cc scooter. I am a rider again!
There is always a smaller version of your dream that you can enjoy in the present, as you work for the bigger one.
