I have not lived long enough to become old and wise but I have noticed that whenever I truly believe in something, and do whatever I can to capture my dream, it comes true.
Sometimes it happens right away. Most times it takes a while to get there. But if you keep believing, there comes a time that IT happens and everything falls right into place.
When you lose hope you usually extinguish the ember, but as long as you believe you are keeping it burning until the fire is up.
It takes patience, belief, hard work and persistence. I didn’t say it just miraculously happens…
However, it does happen if you give it a chance.
I have stumbled upon this quote by Gerald G. Jampolsky, MD:
As a child I was told and believed that there was a treasure buried beneath every rainbow.
I believed it so much that I have been unsuccessfully chasing rainbows most of my life.
I wonder why no one ever told me that the rainbow and the treasure were both within me.
I love it!
Chasing rainbows is the underlying idea behind believing in your dreams and knowing that it is already within you to succeed, is the rudimentary understanding that will get you to the treasure.

Avital, I had to smile when I read the opening sentence of your great post!
You’re never too young to be an old wise soul!
You’re obviously wiser than your physical age and this post proves it once again.
I totally agree with you, it all comes into place if you’re willing to live up to your dreams!
I often tells my 16 yr.old to write down her dreams, once on paper they start existing!
Thank you my old, wise owl ( or maybe the French word “chouette” is cuter?! 😉
Thank you so much for your nice words. I have read and reread your comment several times because it makes my heart sing 🙂
I love the French word, though I have no idea how to pronounce it. I should probably ask my fabulous Parisian relatives 🙂
