The Only Dream That Should Matter To YOU
“Dream as if you’ll live forever, live as if you’ll die today.”
-James Dean
The only dream that should matter to you is your own dream. People are so busy trying to chase the “American Dream” that they forgot about their own dream.
The Dreams
Sure if you want material wealth, you can attain it. The truth is if you aren’t chasing a dream that is yours, you will end up being disappointed at the end of the day. What really brings you to life? The next best thing to do always, is what brings you ALIVE. What gets you excited? What brings fulfillment and joy to your life?
No matter how far I go in life, I know that the answers to these questions are what it’s all about for me.
I’ve achieved a certain degree of success in my life, but never once do I ever ask to myself, “Is this all there is to it?” The reason is because no matter how high up I go I always retreat back to gratitude.
Your Dreams
The only dream that matters to me is that of my choosing. Sure, mainstream America will push for certain things that may be very appealing to me, but at the end of the day I am making a gut check for myself. I admit I do like very nice material things, and I am fortunate to have very nice material things. This is what it means to be fully living a life on purpose. The concern I have is when people are doing actions just to fulfill a “dream or idea” that was imposed on them either by the media, teachers, parents etc.
The truth is, when in pursuit of ones owns vision for the future doesn’t resonate with who they truly are inside and doesn’t bring them ALIVE filled with joy and energy, that vision may have to be reconsidered. The only dream that should matter to you is YOUR dream.
