When I was young
Royce Shook
Transition to Retrement
When I was young I had many dreams, but one of my dreams was about perfection, imagination, and realisation. And because it was my dream and I had faith in myself, I knew it would inevitably come true. And every manifestation would be exactly as it should be. Every detail part of the plan, every grain of sand chiselled long in advance. Nothing would be left to chance, not one second could ever go astray, and not one chuckle, laugh, or tear hadn't been thought of before
As I look back on my life, I understand the degree of attention that was given, and how I weighed that each blade of grass, there's only one possible explanation for the image that has become my own. Hard work, coupled with luck and a strong support system.
Today, I am exactly who I most wanted to be. What is your dream? Hold on to it, work on it, and continue to dream it. Life is too short to let go of your dreams.
