There are four obstacles.
First, we are told from childhood onward that everything we want to do is impossible. We grew up with the idea, and it became so deeply buried in our soul, it became invisible.
If we have the courage to disinter dreams, we are then faced by the second obstacle: love. We know what we want to do, but are afraid of hurting those around us by abandoning everything in order to pursue dream. However, we do not realised that love should be a stimulus, not an obstacle.
The third obstacle: fear of defeats. We who fight for dreams suffer more when it doesn't work out. There is nothing to fall back on for we have staked everything on it. The secret of life though, is to fall seven times, and get up eight times.
Then comes the last: fear of realizing the dreams we fought all our lives. The mere possibility of getting what we want fills the soul of the ordinary person with guilt. I've known of many people who, when their dreams were within grasp, went on to commit a series of stupid mistakes and never reach their goal, when it was only a step away.
But is you believe yourself worthy of the thing you fought so hard to get, you understand why you are here.
~~ Paulo Coelho

我将它缩短。
有些事，
或许大家都知，
却未必能将之表达。
很有智慧的一段话，
仿佛说穿了心卡。
追梦，
让我有时感到害怕。
或许因为没勇气，
现在的我选择了安逸。
我仍清楚知道，
自己现在要什么。
然而所要的，
不再是追求梦想，
而是过想要的生活。
我想，生活總是在變化中的。有時候，思緒讓你有了足夠的勇氣去逐夢，那時候，逐夢的過程就不會那麼困難、痛苦。
