The Feet on the Floor and the Head in the Clouds

Walking around the floor, the sky seems to be so far away and even if we put our hands so high, it is impossible to touch the clouds. However, when we fly, we travel between the clouds which seemed impossible to touch and it is the floor which appears minuscule far away.

In the same way, the reality we live tries to convince to us about the impossibility of making our dreams true, and because of this, we put our dreams in a far place and from the distance we look at them with the hope they could become true.

On the other hand, when we dream, it seems we get away from the reality and we travel to an ideal world, where everything is possible and where we would like to stay forever, but we always find something or someone who interrupts our dream and who opens our eyes for us to consider the reality.

However, this physic or imaginary distance between these two situations is not real, because there are places where clouds are at the same height than the floor we walk on, and the most of our dreams are created simultaneously while we live our reality.

During our childhood, when still no one has cut our wings and has silenced our hopes, we think we are able to do everything, and this is something that should not dissapear when we grow up and we know the reality, because with this, appears the fear to try because of the fear to fail, and we convince ourselves about the impossibility of something with limited beliefs or with close experiences, which block us to set up our dreams.

Daydreaming and inspiring hope with the imagination is something wonderful, in our mind we create ideal situations which produce on us such good feelings as if the situation was being experimented.

But reality is there and we cannot ignore it, nothing is as we dreamed, in fact, almost never it happens what we thought, although from this reality we can get big lessons to make our dreams a little bit more realistic.

The person who took me to this place, where with feet in the floor, you can reach the clouds, is the most realistic person I know and from whom I have learnt to “keep my feet on the ground”, but he is also who despite of hard blows of the reality, never loses the hope, although he keeps it in a far hideout.

That is why, we have to held our feet onto the floor, to know well and to feel the ground we walk on and everything which is around, at the same time that we put our head up and our eyes look at so high and leaving to fly our imagination, we daydream till we are sure our dream is real and we take the action.
