Showcase April - What´s your biggest dream? What would you do to make it a reality?

Even you, it doesn´t matter how much you try to deny it. I know you have dreams and goals. I´m talking to you, person who says life couldn´t get any better; I´m also speaking to you, Steemian who is already disappointed in life and doesn´t want to speak out their dreams in case life has another plan for you.

At one point in my life I had many dreams, crazy dreams if you may call them. Everybody around me told me I had to stop thinking like that or I wouldn´t achieve anything worthy and I would waste the best years of my life.

I listened to them

Around 13 years old, I stopped dreaming and I took the normal person path. I still had some crazy ideas and some times I would even write them down and plan them out even when I knew I wouldn´t develop them, just to see if they were achievable.

By the time I was 16 years old I was already part of the social system, thinking and doing as I was told, behaving as my peers expected me to and as they behaved. But I still had crazy ideas visiting my mind while I was in Morpheu´s realm. Not crazy crazy ideas, but at least groundbreaking ideas - according to my 16 yr old mind - and I even tried to develop one or two of them.

I was organizing massive parties at 17 and making a considerable profit out of it. One time I rented a bus so I, along other 50 17 year olds, could skip class and go drink to a popular spot in Mexico city called "Las trajineras" (Google it, its pretty cool). I even started my own social event photography business at 18 years old. It worked for a while, then I got into college and, despite my drive to get out of the social norm, my desire to fit in got in the way,

It took me 25 years to realize I had to do whatever it took to accomplish my dreams or I would always be living a simulation of what I´ve always wanted.

My dream? To travel the world.

But with no money of my own, no real experience traveling and zero support from my family it was a dream I could hardly accomplish without losing something(s) in the process.

I had to get rid of my pride, my fears, the social structure I had in my mind, the people inside my head teeling me what I wanted was not possible and my own view of the world.

I mean, it was an impossible task. I left home with 500 dollars and my life in my backpack, no means for supporting myself apart from one thing: a website I bought, a facebook page and a dream.

A dream to get paid to travel.

And I achieved it thanks to Steemit.

This is a very long story. I won´t tell you about accomplishing the dream. This post is to talk about dreams and what would you do to fulfill them,

---

So, I told you about my dream and what I did to accomplish it,.

Aren´t you going to tell me about yours and what you had to do / what would you do to see that dream come true?

I´ll tell you what, if at least 50 people share their dreams here in the comment section, I will share with you another dream I have and I am about to accomplish very soon.

How does that sound?

Deal?

Deal.
