Brick Walls and Dreams

“The brick walls are there for a reason … to show us how badly we want something. The brick walls are there to stop the people who don’t want it badly enough. They’re there to stop the other people.”
-Randy Pausch

As we embark upon our dream we have already started to encounter brick walls. I think our system in general (society) is not setup for us to do the things we really enjoy or want to do. For instance the rules for a ‘conforming’ mortgage are written for people who live in sub-divisions not for people who want to live in the forest. Of course you can still get a loan, but it’ll be more expensive (higher wall).

I had a really cool feeling last night when I was driving home from work. I was thinking about moving to PR and how we are going to make it work and I got the overwhelming feeling that you can do anything. I know people say it, but I am starting to feel it. Its a good feeling. Then I saw this video today and it just re-enforces that you can achieve anything you want if you put your mind to it and work towards it.
