Advice I could give to younger sibling or friend who's graduating and planning the journey of their life

Everyone can give advice to a friend. My advice for people who are graduating is to follow their dream. I thought much how I could express my advice. I remembered one Bulgarian parable. I am going to tell you a story that I think would be great advice for young people.

One man met his old friend Ivan who had tried to succeed in life but he could not. The man thought that he could give money to him. Later, on the same day, he understood that his friend became rich. Now Ivan is living quietly without thinking how he can find money for the next day.

     The man went to his friend’s house. He saw that the house looked better than before. His family was happy but they didn’t celebrate their happiness. They were modest. Ivan’s family prepared special dishes for their guest. He was surprised how much food was on the table. He asked Ivan how he got so rich. Ivan told him that the Other in him lived before.

     “Who is the Other?” - asked the man.

Ivan answered that the Other is who they have taught me to be, but what I am not. The Other believes that man must spend his life thought how to save money and not starve when he is old. He also lives not to disappoint others around him. Constantly I thought, constantly I made plans and discover that he is alive .I found it only when he had a few days on earth. However, it was too late.

 “Who are you?” - asked Ivan’s friend. He was so confused.
-I have done something very important. Now, I am the one who could be anyone of us, as long as you listen to your heart. A man who admires the mystery of life and believes in miracles finds joy and inspiration in what he does. However, an Other was afraid he could disappoint people around him so he didn’t allowed me to act.

“Have you ever afraid of sufferance?”
- I know there is damage. Moreover, nobody can avoid it. It is better to lose a few battles fighting for your dreams than to be defeated not knowing what to fight for. Is it that simple?

When I realized this, I woke up with a decision to be such as I always wanted. The Other remained there in my room, but I no longer let him take me, although on several occasions he tried to scare me with how risky it is not to think about a future and the people around me. Since this time, I have not been trapped by dogma. When I threw out my fears and previous life miracles started to happen with me. Now everything is so wonderful.

       In conclusion, I think the most esteemed lesson in our lives is listening to your heart, yourself, and never give up on your dreams. We should always follow our dreams. Have faith in yourself and in fate and you will see that if you follow your wishes, fate will always show you the right way.
