00:15The
00:16moment where the formulation of a dream teeters on the brink of reality. The threshold where
00:23anticipation meets the experience, embracing it with all of its glory. Patience, though,
00:31is a fundamental key to the success of being able to fully divulge and participate in your
00:36dreams in full color. The passing of a young female intern is a tragedy now in question.
00:43She was volunteering at the Cat Haven Sanctuary in Dunlap, California, and was mauled to death on
00:48Wednesday afternoon. The question that remains is, how did the line escape? It's difficult to
00:54determine what would have been going through her mind before the unfortunate sudden impact,
01:00premonitions of potential danger taken into her own hands when she embraced her passion in full.
01:07When we consider the many possible outcomes, when we do finally embrace our dreams,
01:13dreams. In her case, whose dream was to be working with big cats. You realize how fragile our dreams
01:21are, how delicate our existence is, and how we must be careful to properly preserve ourselves without
01:28hesitation and refuse anything that can endanger our entirety. We all have desires, dreams, or perhaps
01:37our desire is to have a dream to pursue. Do we then become lost and caught up with our own
01:45fold,
01:46with life and the many idiosyncratic variables, the catalyst to our inevitable loss of focus?
01:53Before I continue, I would like to point out that everything I have said and that I'm about to say,
01:59I mean with the deepest respect for the family and the individuals in question.
02:05But what I find fascinating with stories like this one in particular, and also Steve Irwin,
02:10who died in 2006, doing what he loved best, getting too close to one of the dangerous animals he had
02:17dedicated his life to protecting with an irrepressible effervescent personality that propelled him into
02:22global fame as television's crocodile hunter, is that both of these cases are people who've been devoured
02:29by their dreams. A strange dichotomy emerges, for on the one hand, the persistence of preserving oneself
02:37to continue the dedicated participation in the waking dream, and on the other hand, having the dream become
02:44your ultimate and unfortunate self-fulfilling demise, losing your entirety to the very thing you entirely desired.
02:52Does happiness exist in this particular outcome? I mean, obviously neither, or anyone in fact,
02:59who receives the ultimate depth of fulfillment would choose to then perish, but then would they,
03:06in your opinion, reconsider participating in this type of dream? Or they do it all over again without
03:13second thought or hesitation, knowing full well that they were not invincible and quite in fact vulnerable to
03:20the possibility of being devoured quite literally by their dreams. If this happened to you, and you could
03:27return fully realized, would you still participate in the waking dream? Do you feel that if they could rewind
03:34their life, they would still take the risk? Would they still follow their passion to the end? If this was
03:41your life,
03:42or someone close to you, what would you do?
04:11The one thing you must remember is, you no longer
04:15walk alone.
04:16walk alone.
04:17walk alone.
04:17walk alone.
04:18walk alone.
04:19walk alone.
04:20walk alone.
04:25walk alone. walk alone.
