Live a story, live your story. Live your life, for there is only one granted to each of us. In the present moment, here and now. We ride on the waves of those who came before us. We pass the baton onto those who will succeed us. Remember those words you were told as a child. Remember who the world had intended, who the world granted for you to become on this planet. There are many paths, one which you will carve. Only yours and yours only.

Remember the epochs of an old story. So many books speak of epic tales, journeys, heroes, and adventures. We were not alone in our journey, although we must sometimes walk through specific trials and tribulations on our own. We each share the collective experience and makeup of the journey we walk together. Fiction books may have more to teach than nonfiction books. Stories we find ridiculous to believe, yet we always keep our imagination for some time. The inner child knows for the child speaks to you quietly. Time after time, the child’s voice will be heard.

Hold your inner child

As we age, we often forget the dreams we held as children. But there was something you wanted to do, a person you wanted to become. Life will unfold, and it’s important to let it happen, to let it continue. The more experiences you gather, the more you’ll have to share. People often have the most to offer, even in fleeting moments. Embracing life’s experiences empowers us and opens our minds to new possibilities.

Some of us will go on long journeys. Some of us will do much of the same, engaging in activities day in and day out. Travel is often equated with the journey people will go through.

Regardless of the circumstances, never let go of your imagination. It is the key to unlocking the impossible. Your imagination can turn dreams into reality and make the impossible possible. So, hold on to it, nurture it, and let it guide you on your journey.
