But I felt like if I was reaching my pocket looking for the wallet just to discover that was not there anymore. My answer wasn&#8217;t there anymore either.<\/p>\n<p><!--more-->Daniele, \u00a0you thought so long about life purpose, goals, dreams, and now that your friend asks you, you have no ready answer?<\/p>\n<p>How is that possible. I got frustrated first, then disappointed with myself.<\/p>\n<p>The answer <em>was<\/em> there. But it&#8217;s gone, like the wallet. Dreams change, you get closer to them and they change into something else, something different, something more.<\/p>\n<p>I was dreaming to be a <strong>Terra Nova<\/strong> the other day, happily running around Vondel Park, getting close to a couple of lovers sit on a bench, happily sniffing around, and then for no reason loosing interest and run away towards something else. Like jumping from a dream to another.<\/p>\n<p>My friend&#8217;s dream is to write a book, like a new <strong>Gabriel Garcia M\u00e1rquez<\/strong> but with some innovative elements in it that I can&#8217;t share &#8216;cause I mind my own dreams.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;My dream is to live in my own way. Before I was dreaming to inspire people, but I realize that that can&#8217;t be a goal. The goal can&#8217;t be to inspire. Inspire someone can only be a side-effect of living on your own terms&#8230;&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>My friend interrupted: <em>&#8220;Concrete, please!&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>He was right, I was improvising an answer, side-tracking to avoid the frustration of admitting that I had no clear dream in my mind&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;<strong>Keep calm and be fearless<\/strong>&#8220;<\/em> I repeated to myself till I had some clarity.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;My dream is to live in my own way. I want to be financial independent. Free myself from the slavery of money. That &#8216;s the ultimate form of freedom.
