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.
