OK, so I've told a few people about my plans to head out to Machu Picchu. It's been an odd response, I'm not sure what I expected particularly as I don't really like talking about myself or my hopes and dreams.
Without trying to sound like Carrie from SATC, I started thinking about how I treat other peoples dreams. I generally try to be mindful of how I would feel had I taken the courage to relate my latest hairbrained scheme to someone only to be told 'that'll never happen' or similar. A lot of people talk about trying to change the world -which is a noble idea that I wholeheartedly support. I wonder how different the world would be if we learned to hold one anothers dreams with the care and tenderness with which we hold our own?
A long time ago, someone I love dearly told me I had a gift of encouraging others, since that time I have tried whereever possible to see the best in everyone. Can I as one person make a real difference to the people in my life if I start to take their dreams seriously.
