I had a very vivid dream last night.
I was volunteering at the children's hospital. The dream "started" with a short conversation with the child I was working with. It's kinda like that Inception concept where you never really quite remember how the dream started. As the conversation continued, I ended up asking him (I believe it was a young boy) what his dreams were. "I have always wants to ride on a magic carpet", he replied quietly and he continues after a slight pause, "But now I just want to get off". That line broken my heart and I woke up. Almost bursting into tears immediately. When I came to, I realized that last line meant he's lost control of his life and lost his childhood.
That short dream made me realized that I gotta cherish every moment and also give back to those less fortunate. That morning, I'm resolved to start volunteering at the children's hospital. The hospital that helped my family and I through one of the most trying periods of our lives in Toronto. The same hospital I've vowed to donate large sums to if I ever have the capacity to.
Truth is, we each have the power within us to give back to the community in such a meaningful way.
I challenge you to find an opportunity to do the same and go volunteer.
Until next time.
