I know many in society attach to following your dreams, but if this is looked at closely you just may see how this holds you in captivity to thinking that a dream is needed for happiness instead of what’s here now. When you’re following the urge of a so called dream, the reality of what’s happening right now just passes you by. This doesn’t mean you can’t have your dreams and go after them, just realize a dream is nothing more than a fantasy. Even if you get exactly what you want and it becomes your reality, thinking the dream will make you happy is where the fantasy arises from. This falls in line with the grass is greener on the other side, but that grass has to be mowed also.
How many people pick their spouse, their job, the house they live in, having children, or whatever else you thought was needed, only to turn around and complain about it. Your choices are made because you think they’re your dream and yet when they become a reality it’s not long before you realize they’re not as fulfilling as you thought they would be. Or you’re okay with certain aspects of this dream, but there’s just something else to complain about. If you truly want to follow your dreams look down at your feet and realize good, bad, or indifferent you are your dream. Unless the mind settles and you become aware of this, your life will never truly be lived because you will be caught up in the fantasy of needing to follow a made up dream…
