A dream coming true

“Do you have a dream? Make it come true!”

I remember a 5 year-old boy dreaming himself as a businessman. Today, he would be proud of me.

Can you be afraid of your dreams? My answer was no.

I still remember the key episode, the reason why I do what I do. I was a young boy and I would watch other kids being bullied by older ones. This one time, they overdid with a fragile little girl. Well, they triggered something ferocious out of me, because the were unconsciously hurting one of my most important values still to this day. I reacted, I stood in the way between the bullies and the girl doing three things:

– I told them If they had to take it out on someone… they should take it out on me.

– I turned to the girl and told her she was worthy and not to listen to anybody or anything that could take her down.

– I took her hands and I told the kids, together we are stronger.

They walked away and I remember a ray of light on our faces; right, then I realized that the future would always be better than our past provided I would always take the useful decision for the best future Right Here, Right Now.

In my living room I have a picture of my three sons together on a beach, looking towards the sun with their faces shining bright. It belongs to an old calender, but still it is hanging there: every morning, when I do my meditation exercises I look at them, thankful to life for making me seen the light I can use to

bright up many other lives.

For this reason I have decided To Be There, to be present and also active.

I do believe it! I am here!

This article is dedicated to the members of “BNI Region of Bergamo” for their Hospitality, Energy and Trust in and for our lives. They are always ready to do their best for a common good beyond the individual member, well aware of the value everyone should express. Being with them made me feel one of them.
