When do you wake up?

And no, I’m not talking about waking in the morning to bright sunshine coming in through the windows. This is more about the waking up of the inner core of oneself that only one can understand.

So, you’ve made all these big plans in life, the big desires that you want to fulfill and the big ambitions that you have. Then, one day you realize that none of that is ever going to come true. Do you really wake up now, or do you go back to give it one more shot?

There is a weird kind of passion people have, they chase things others see as impossible, the only goal in their life if to break-up impossible into i-m-possible (yes, I know its cliché..). But, there is a problem with this kind of attitude. Laws of nature demand everything return to a mean. So when do you realize that the thing that you are chasing will most probably not happen, other words when do you wake up?

I my opinion life should have some kind of signposts or completion status messages that lets you know that you are at least headed in the right direction, otherwise a lot of time and energy would have been spent before you found out that it wasn’t meant to be.
