Realizing your dream is a lot like flying a kite. It can take a huge amount of effort to even get a kite to hover just above your hand. And it might come crashing back to the ground dozens of times before it gets airborne and is able to catch a good breeze and begin to climb on its own. But there is no better feeling in the world, than that moment when all of your efforts are rewarded, and your kite sails skyward on a gust of wind. Likewise, there is an unexplainable feeling of pure joy when you can finally step back and realize that your dream has caught an updraft and is flying to its fullest potential thanks to your hard work and diligence.
Love this post! As a kite flying lover, I feel exactly what you’ve described in this writing every time I take action indulging in this sport. I’ve done it so many times and it never gets old. We can certainly learn a life lesson in the process. When my wife tells me to “go fly a kite” I’m sure to oblige. smiling all the way…..
Thank you, Larry! There is something very satisfying about harnessing the power of nature. It can lift a kite just as it can lift a human being, we must just be wise enough to go with nature and her power rather than trying to impose our will on her!
