ZigOn Pursuing Dreams
"Think about the following story while you consider what success means to you. As two brothers entered their adult life, one completed college and became a highly successful lawyer while the other preferred the outdoors and traveled the country working as a park ranger, outdoor tour guide, seasonal crop worker, etc. The lawyer kept writing his vagabond brother to come live in the city, settle down, and pursue a 'respectable' career. In an effort to persuade him, he would send his brother a picture of his BMW and write on the back, 'My car,' or a picture of his uptown condominium and write on the back, 'My house,' or a picture of his 40-story high rise office building with 'My office' written on the back. The other brother, finally tiring of the nonsense, put an end to the letters when he sent his lawyer brother a poster of the beautiful majestic Grand Teton Mountains in Wyoming. On the back of the poster he simply wrote, 'My backyard.'"
Actually, both of these men were successful. They just had different objectives for their lives.
I suspect that most of us would prefer to follow the life of the brother who had that beautiful majestic view in Wyoming. Message: You have lots of choices. As long as they're honorable, I encourage you to pursue those which fulfill your dreams because you will never be successful or happy pursuing someone else's dream.
