Have you ever said something you immediately or soon after regretted? If you’re like most humans, the answer is probably yes.

![How to save a wild-life [Around the World]](https://frostfund.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/iapf_bw-627x220.jpg?w=627)
It’s a numbing thought to consider that as we sit on our computers, watch our TVs, or scroll through our instagrams, wildlife across the world are literally fighting for their lives.

Isn’t it a funny thing to think we are all in charge of our own lives, have the same freedom to do as we please, and yet we can become so timid when confronted with a non-tangible idea – like a simple passion for something you have. At least for me – that is often…

What interesting beings dreams are. They take hold of us and seem to control many of the decisions we make throughout our time on this planet.
