Handbook for Young Dreamers

by Nathalie Trutmann

"That's how life is." How many times have we heard and been frustrated by this kind of answer?

When we are young we often think that everything is possible and that all of our dreams will come true. But as we get older we quickly learn that things are not as easy as they seemed when we were young and that we are expected to learn to be reasonable and practical.

"What will you do?" and "How are you going to make a living?" are the usual questions that well-intentioned adults ask, in their efforts to help us navigate safely the journey of our lives, but in the process of doing so, fill us with fears and doubts, that often deter us from our original plans.
