My Vision

Open Google Earth. Navigate to your own location. Now zoom out and scroll around. Find Australia. Antarctica. The Machu Picchu. The Dead Sea. Every little scroll in the app takes you thousands of kilometers away in real file. Billions of people. Cultures you haven’t known to exist. Foods you have never tried. Summits you have never climbed.

Now zoom back in you your location. Find the place you went to kindergarten. Your favorite ice cream store. Connect to the 7 year old you. Were you passionate about winning games? Keen on saving the world?

Dreaming dreams far bigger than yourself?

How about the adult you?

"in our society we have lost our passion. We do not do things because we love to do them. We do things because we feel we have to do them." - "The Monk Who Sold his Ferrari"

I remember the six year old me. I remember standing with a broomstick in between my legs playing quidditch. Kicking the floor, running and mostly believing I will hover and play against Harry Potter.

At which point of life do adults turn off their inner flame? Why do we trade our passion and playfulness in exchange for adulthood?

Now back to Google Earth. Zoom in to your workplace. Are you happy with it? Is it really what the 6-year old you had planned for you?

As I grew older, society, finances, friends and others tried to cut down my belief. So I stopped and asked myself: “Am I living the life I want?”

There are 8 billion people in the world. Strolling through their lives. They have a beating heart, functional ECG and, hopefully, a pair of lungs. They all seem to be alive.

But are they really?

Are you?

P.S.

I definitely beat Harry Potter at that quidditch game.
