That night I was lost, walking in the middle of nowhere. I decided to get fresh air, I was overwhelmed, confused and a little disappointed. I did not know how and what had led me to such a place; After walking a few hours: under the moonlight, and the starry sky that accompanied me to travel that path, that way to find clarity in my thoughts, I found someone to talk to; That person asked me: What are you looking for? Where do you want to go? I did not know what to answer, I knew not how I got there, much less I could know what I was looking for.

I followed my path, this person continued to company, and he also kept asking the same questions: what are you looking for? Where do you want to go? He asked with a voice a little loud. I just want to find tranquility – I responded with a little knot in my throat. Tell me what overwhelms you, why I see someone so young and full of life, so tired and disappointed – he said it while he seemed to want to understand me. Well, I'll tell you: I'm scared, nervous, anxious, confused, I feel lost, I don't know where to go – I responded a little bit upset. Without hesitation this person asked: why do you feel that way? I promise to help you solve your situation. I thought it was very nice that someone at last wanted to hear me, I did not hesitate to comment on my situation.

You are right to say that I am young and full of life, but I can not take advantage of it: I often doubt my abilities too much and I never dare to take the first step, I stay there, thought about what could be, but it was never my fault. I am disappointed to be as I am, I want to work for someone better, but I carry the pessimism on me – I said as tears fell on my cheeks. I was hoping that this person could understand me, that it was someone who could really help me. And this was his answer: fear of failure, that is what is consuming you and does not allow you to advance; Take that out that you're not good at this and that. Nobody is perfect, no one is born nourished with excess capacities and knowledge, is something that works, you work yourself, little by little, but with great effort. It is only in you to get ahead, to be who you dream to be. If you stay like this, stopping trying things and thinking "in what could be, but because of you it was never"you will not be able to change that attitude; You must try, fight and work for your dreams and goals. Failure is part of the growth, it teaches you new things, which you will gradually become a wise person, full of grandeur.

Tears, only tears were in my cheeks...no was sadness, it was peace, hope; So they glistened with the brightness of the stars and the light of the moon. The most fantastic thing was that in that dream I spoke to myself, it was my voice, it was me. I was responding to that overwhelming situation. I discovered that inside me is someone who wants to get ahead, but is afraid to fail, but thanks to that talk, that short talk I realized that I must leave my fear behind. If I don't try to strip him, I'll never go forward I'm young, I'm strong, I'm capable!

"Every human being is a universe, each one has an ace under the sleeve with a special talent: something unique, that distinguishes it from the rest. That talent is a virtue, it takes advantage of it. Exploit your creativity, don't let your ideas get stuck."
