If you want to follow your dreams simply look down at your feet. Unless your mind settles and there’s awareness of this, your life will never be truly lived because you’ll be caught in the fantasy of needing a dream…
So many attach to the saying “Follow your dreams” but if this is looked at closely, it may be seen how this holds you in captivity to thinking a dream is needed for happiness. The issue with this is when you are following the urge of a so called dream, the reality of what’s happening right now passes you by. This doesn’t mean you can’t have your dreams and go after them, just realize that a dream is nothing more than a fantasy even if it happens exactly how it’s wanted; thinking the dream will make you happy, not the dream itself is the fantasy. This falls in line with the grass is greener on the other side, that is until it’s realized that grass also has to be mowed.
How many people chose 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. It’s chosen because you thought it was your dream and yet when it manifested as a reality, it wasn’t long before it wasn’t as fulfilling as you thought it was going to be. You may have been okay with certain aspects of it, but mostly there was something else to complain about. If you truly want to follow your dream 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 be truly lived because you’ll be caught up in needing the fantasy of following a dream…
