Small Steps Towards a Future

“Think of how your dream will make you happy, not how hard it will be to get there.”

The shopkeep had nodded to me.

“If you only think about hardships, you’ll be disillusioned. It will all become a challenge that you’re too scared to do. I say just go for it if you want something. Be happy now about what could possibly be.”

A stranger’s kind words. It was odd, I was never much for giving wisdom to random folks who enter my town. What made me so special? I think I’m a bit of a jerk in my head. Telling myself, well I wouldn’t do that! But I guess I shouldn’t question the kindness of others.
