Goals and expectations slow down your dreams. Allow yourself the freedom of Unknown, that's the place, where sun hides. A great, liberated Sun...and this sun is YOU!
'Living your dreams' is a phrase, you are able to hear pretty often nowadays. It is used and spoken by different inspirational, motivational speakers, teachers in schools, journalist, artists, 'spiritual' figures, gurus, media in general, politicians, educators and I could go on and on, indeed. However, what the hell does 'Living your dreams' really mean? What does this so frequently expressed sentence even represent in its essence?
In our lives, each and everyone surely met with the question, if what one does makes them happy, do they enter a new day with joy, full of enthusiasm, pure children's openness and playfulness, which hides an innocent sparkle in the background and goes like this: ' I wonder, what kind of beauty will this new adventure of existence show and bring me?'
Yes, of course. But the answer to the question above is without a doubt a determined NO for most of the people, although they won't or don't dare to say and confess it (firstly to themselves) out loud.
Now, one of the beautiful guidelines to the spiritual 'growth' in life is being honest with yourself, so that is why we'll use this principle as the basic premise of creation and explanation in our article.
Loving yourself is the easiest and at the same time the hardest thing, human being will ever achieve. In its deepest essence, everything is so simple. When explained in short: IT'S TOO SIMPLE! Too simple for our human mind and patterns and beliefs, which we accumulated through a long earthly and pre-earthly journey. In order to address this topic more in details, I'd need more space than this article offers (but indeed, it is a very interesting theme). A title for an evening of different inspiration. Next time.
Let me continue with exploring, what means to 'Live your dreams'. In order to widen our understanding, I'll go into the description of loving yourself. The greatest challenge of essence of enlightenment: "to love yourself", lives indeed in accepting our painful, wounded parts, so called 'dark side', where our genuine, true beauty, charisma and divinity exists. To love - to accept (allow) - to trust are three words or verbs, I tend to generally use interchangeably (to a certain degree), because in their depths they express infinite and limitless mutual entanglement, reflect each other.
Those prophetic and innocent dreams have got absolutely nothing to do with all the 'lower' energies mentioned above. Passion, dreams of the soul, are something so personal, magical and indescribable, that they could never be tainted by any outside force or outside world. Noone can take them away from you and noone can give them to you. It's all on you in in you. When do you allow yourself in all your greatness to be who you really are? It's something you can't 'think', you can only feel.
'Living your dreams' happens on its own. When you are ready - ready to be everything you are (with all your vulnerability, sadness, loneliness), because only then you realize what a creator you are and you've always been! From this point forward you're able to start to consciously create your world and express your dreams, your deepest passions with much greater ease. It can be a song you play, a book you write, a painting you paint or a kiss you give.
After all, we are here on this Earth to have fun and do what is our heart's passion, which can change every moment. And that's totally ok - what is in truth more beautiful than diving into the beauty of the Unknown and again discover that children's cheerfulness and curiosity that is saying with a smile: 'What kind of magic will this new day show me?'
We are the blank sheet of paper. Can you start every morning like that?
Love yourself, accept everything you are and trust thyself. From here on dreams are nothing but reality...
With love, Julian
ESSENCE IN FEW WORDS: Are you able to love your tears, accept your shadow, everything you usually push away? When the answer is YES, dreams become alive automatically, because you trust yourself, you know you are the creator of your life and you are not concerned with goals and expectations at all. They are killing the dreams. Allow yourself the freedom of the Unknown, that's exactly where the Sun is hiding. A great, liberated Sun...and that Sun is you!!!
