Dreams are vitally important to our existence. They’re not just fantasies that are meant to entertain us as we live out our days monotonously. Rather they’re our greatest potential whispering to us and motivating us to reveal that potential in the world.
Unfortunately, most of us abandon our dreams in childhood. Settling for what we think life is supposed to be, rather than what we dream it can be. We lose the enthusiasm and motivation for our greatest goals, and stop even daring ourselves to think of such things.
Today, remember this: everything starts with a thought. Allow yourself to cook up the infinite ways in which you can be happy and successful. Fantasize with the intent of activating these deep desires and allow these universal forces inside you to unfold.
I had a conversation with Zsuzsa, a friend of mine from architecture school.
In another blogpost on another blog I wrote about my last two years vs. my last four months “history”.
One night, the Shah dressed up as a peasant to enjoy the evening air undisturbed by his rank, and to wander through the streets of his empire unnoticed. He walked through town and reached the poor section of town. The street was quiet, but suddenly he heard singing from a little cottage. As he peaked through the window he saw a man sitting at a table.
“But what will be your fate if something happens to you or you get too old to work?”” asked the Shah.
