As kids, our imagination is our most powerful asset. Yet to establish boundaries or limits to what’s possible, the sky is the limit to our potential. With time, comes lessons. We live and we learn that unfortunately not all dreams can come true. It’s a harsh pill for many of us to swallow. Fortunately, dreams are a bountiful crop. As one dies, another grows in its place.
What does a dream need to grow? Patience, persistence, belief…and that’s where traveling comes into play. It’s a chance to see a new landscape. An opportunity to cross paths with a stranger who unknowingly will change your life. A snapshot in time, that inspires you.
Let me take you deep into South Africa. A herd of elephants makes its way along the lake’s edge. As the sun dips into the horizon, one turns to greet another, frozen forever in the flare of the light's last breath. It was a special moment that reminded me of the raw beauty that still exists on our planet. It's the spark to ignite a youthful imagination. It just takes a little effort and a will for adventure to find it.
