Like any girl with a dream I build the castle in my head as soon as the thought is there. Of course it’s a brilliant looking castle, pretty and sparkly. And it makes me impatient because I want to get into really building that castle right now and move in.
It’s quite a big castle and it’s got many rooms with special features and arrangements for the people who will live in it. It’s a castle where everyone is made to feel welcome and where you can come and go as you want, but generally people want to come. Not go.
Amazing things happen in this castle. In the beginning they are secrets and only the people who are involved truly know about them. These are special times in the castle. Times of happiness, excitement and experimentation. Then the secrets are revealed and announced to the world and at these times parties are being held all night long in the big ball room with good food and drinks and even more happiness than when the secrets where still kept secret.
Of course a castle, just like Rome, isn’t built in one day. It takes time, a lot of hard work, patience and dedication, always keeping a strong vision at sight for what the castle will look like. But no matter how pretty it may be there are times when it will feel very far away.
Those are the times when that mental picture of what it will look like, what it will feel like the first time you’ll set your foot in it, and how it will be to live there, that’s when you should take out that mental picture. Take a really close look at it and see how it makes you feel. Hopefully, it will make you smile a little, make you get up and pick up that showel and continue building.
