Have you ever chased a rainbow, hunting for the end, thinking it is just there, just in reach? ?
Then you get to where you thought the end was and look up, it is somewhere else. ?
So you go over there and still the end is not within reach. ?
No matter how hard you try, that rainbow just keeps moving! ?
Then just as quickly as it appeared, it disappears!

As you probably know, a rainbow is actually an optical illusion caused by water droplets, the light ? and specific angles. Therefore, no matter how hard we try, we cannot reach the end of the rainbow, or touch the rainbow (although apparently you can touch someone else’s rainbow)! Even though we know this, that doesn’t stop us from chasing rainbows, marvelling at them, and taking photos of them.
BUT… the rainbow? brightened your day, it stopped you thinking about everything else for a while, even if only for a second. If you were with someone else, you probably said ‘look, a rainbow!’ …if they didn’t see it first.
So, even if there is no pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, just the fact that you knew it was there, that you saw it (how many people did you tell?), made you happy!
Your rewards, are what you make them! Happiness, joy, wonder or perseverance!
Make your own rainbows! Follow your own dreams! Find reward in the smallest things!
