Dear reader, if you really believe in something, then I would so much like you to go for it.<\/h3>\n

Of course this doesn\u2019t mean that you would otherwise be worth less.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Everybody may lead a life that is agreeable to live and doesn\u2019t demand much more than, well, to live it.<\/p>\n

Nice!<\/p>\n

But IF there is a \u2018good grand cause\u2019 that you really believe in, one that deeply touches you and that you will look back to and it will still each time warm your heart\u2026 There is nothing more worthwhile. So, if you have such, deem yourself lucky!<\/p>\n

And pull yourself together.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t let yourself be held back by fear<\/em>.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Not your own fear. Not the fear of others.<\/p>\n

By common sense: of course!<\/p>\n

But never by fear.<\/p>\n

Instead: brace yourself. Then go for it.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Things that stand in your way are things that you let<\/em> stand in your way. For the rest: nothing.<\/p>\n

Of course, fear may come towards you in many ways.<\/p>\n

Manage it<\/p>\n

even if it breaks your heart.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

That may lead to unforeseen possibilities.<\/p>\n

And even if it breaks you<\/em>, that MIGHT be a good thing if you scramble yourself together again into something bigger. You have only one life, so it\u2019s better to give.<\/p>\n

If you don\u2019t die from pursuing this cause \u2013 and even, in some sense, if you do \u2013 it will make the world a stronger place, and a better one, including you.<\/p>\n

You grow.<\/p>\n

Is this \u2018romantic\u2019? You bet!<\/p>\n

Is it \u2018unrealistic\u2019? No.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s rather unrealistic to not respect yourself, to not \u2018go for it\u2019,<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

to not deem yourself lucky if you can.<\/p>\n

Big cause. Little cause. Any cause. Something that demands: you<\/em>! For God\u2019s sake, isn\u2019t that wonderful?<\/p>\n

Then please believe in yourself. It\u2019s life and then\u2026 even bigger than life!<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Who cares in the end for anything else?<\/p>\n
