You could say he was a dreamer. Everyone has one stupid dream they wish they could live out. Everyone has one brilliant dream they should live out. Most of us don't do either one. His dream was to walk across the world. One foot in front of the other from here to back here, going everywhere. Why walk across the world? Well because he could. Think of all of the people he would meet, just walking. To walk across the world was his dream. And it was a dream he liked. What stops people from doing what they dream? There is always something you find in your way. Why do we let these things stay in our way? Is it fear, does fear hold us back or do we let fear in as the excuse. He wasn't going to make excuses anymore. He was going to start walking. Now the question on his mind was where to first? If you don't know where you're walking how do you decide where to go. You have to make some kind of decision. And his decision was to walk. So he started out by getting up out of the lazy boy chair he watched tv in and walked to the front door. Grabbed his coat off the coat rack and went out the door.
