Dream On!
Is it the dream that inspires us to grow . . . or is it in the reaching for the dream. I suspect it’s a bit of both.
I think it is safe to say that as children we are taught to dream about the ‘perfect job’. We were all asked “What do you want to be when you grow up?” My answer was always a Veterinarian or a teacher. I loved, and still love animals and I also knew at a young age I was pre-disposed to sharing what I knew. Of course at the age of 7 I knew everything!
But what happens when we realize that what we thought we wanted is not what inspires us? What happens when we are older and ‘get our dream job’? One possible outcome, of many, is that it is truly our ‘dream job for life’ and we can think of nothing we would rather be doing. Another possible outcome is that we get this dream job and find out, for whatever reason, that maybe it isn’t all we thought it would be.
What a blessing this is!
Really? Achieving your dream job, working through all the resistance and struggles to make it to the cream of the crop only to find out we climbed the ‘wrong mountain’ is a blessing? Absolutely! You did it! You created your dream. I think that’s pretty amazing, no matter what it’s current status may be.
But now what? We have our dream and aren’t inspired to continue down this path.
There is not something we’re supposed to do. There’s not something that we should do. There is only that which we are inspired to do. And how do we get inspired except by the contrast? It’s the life experience that gives us the idea of the desire, and then as we focus upon the desire, the Universe shows us the direction of our next great adventure.
A happy life is simply a string of happy moments. But most people don’t allow the happy moment, because they’re so busy trying to get a happy life. Some people are so focused on the ‘dream’ that they forget that life is the journey. They forget that life is the messy parts in the middle of the inspiration and the achieving.
So if you have already achieved your dream . . . and in the achieving you have come to realize that the person you are now is experiencing a contrast so large that it has inspired you to new dreams . . . go for it! You already know you can climb the mountain. May as well have some fun creating and climbing the new one. Dream on!
