Follow Your Dreams

Your biggest satisfaction comes from going after your dreams. You derive it from facing everything that life throws at you and from having fun no matter what. Only you know what your mission might be. Could it be climbing the ranks in a big, successful company? Could it be the satisfaction of being your own entrepreneur, or raising and guiding your children as a stay-home parent? You start with a vision, but you are flexible enough to let life have a say in this journey too. You probably face challenges getting your dreams materialized as we all do, but it may already dawn on you that despite these interferences it is in fact the journey that provides the joy, while the aspired destination will just be an important milestone along the way.

All the stress and irritation about potential problems comes from the fear that someone or something may prevent you from reaching your destination. But what if you realize that life guides you in fact to get what you truly need? What if you figure out along the way that every obstacle gives you the opportunity to aim even higher? From that moment on you will happily embrace all challenges as you start enjoying the climb instead. You realize that it is the journey that gives you the satisfaction, the feeling of accomplishment, the joy and the skills.

The veil you had seen before was entirely of your own making. By living in the future you in fact failed to perceive the now. By fearing problems of the past could interfere again, you failed to grasp opportunities that presented themselves today. Once you connect with the holy now – the access to the creative life force named Tao – the veil will drop and a beautiful scenery will show up instead. Follow your dreams - they will provide you with a ride of a life-time.
