'Shut up' is generally bad advice

I've lost my way some years ago when, many times, I chose not to do what I really wanted and instead followed what other people belive was the right way. And I did this so often that it became almost automatic. I didn't relised it then, but I was reproducing the way I interpreted my mom's behavior. She always made decisions based on previous experiences - if something had worked for somebody else, she would consider trying it. For a long time I wasn't able to try something new, to take risks, to give myself a chance, I was too busy seeking others people's opion, their path, their "right way".

Com acordar, levantar, trabalhar ou mesmo cair.

Há de haver suor, prazer e cansaço.
Ah... se há!
E sonho só é sonho quando sai do travesseiro,
pega estrada e chega.
Onde? Me perguntas...
Te respondo com a sabedoria de capa de caderno de papelaria:
"Siga seus sonhos...eles sabem o caminho."
