The privilege of parenting.

It is not a parents job to instill in their children what may not be achieved, rather it is our privilege to walk beside them as they dream the visions of tomorrow. How many times has the cure for cancer been possible within our grasp through the fleeting life of a human being, only to be stolen by the limitations placed on us by well meaning parents, teachers and education systems. Those who have made great strides in the past had the power of dreams as their guiding light -  Einstein, Richard Branson, Thomas Edison, Newton, Leonardo Da vinci and Vincent van Gogh to name what amounts to a fraction of the people who dared to dream of something which was to many, an impossibility.
If the present was brought upon by giving up our dreams to someone else's reality then we should claim back our dreams and envision a better future. One in which peace is the norm and compassion is the commodity of the majority. 

Live passionately, ask why!
