Dear Luc:

It is okay if an old dream dies, if you let it die. It is okay to have a different, new dream and it is also okay to not dream at all.

You wrote: “When I will  die life will continue without me like I never existed”- that is true, same for  any person, animal, plant, any living thing that ever lived and will ever live. Life continues like one never existed. Even if one has achieved fame, once a famous person dies, life continues and the person is dead, famous or not.

You wrote: “I’m afraid to also get older”- again, no matter what one dreams or not, does or not, as long as you live long enough, you will age.

But of course you know all that. But do you really know-know it.

One’s destiny to age and to die is not negative, it just is. Reality.

So… what to do with this reality? Same as your dog does, pay attention, be engaged in life as is, as is available to you. No circumstance is too small for your dog to not get excited about, correct? It doesn’t take a huge, expensive treat to get your dog to wag its tail, correct?

Imagine you don’t have to have a huge, big money making dream to get you excited. That is possible if you pay attention, if you are engaged with the life that is available to you.
