When you were a small child, you dreamed without reserve and believed in the power of your dreams. As time elapsed, perhaps you didn’t get the support you needed to fully explore your dreams or doubted the importance of what you spent your time pretending and daydreaming about. Still, those early dreams had merit and were an extension of who you are. For many, over time, with negative feedback or the realities and responsibilities of life, your once open expanse of inner imaginings changed. Only you know the extent and scope of those changes, parts once awakened, now perhaps dimmed.
When you stop, meditate, re-evaluate your life today, see where your childlike dreams reside. Are they still with you? Have you abandoned your dreams, replaced them with others or infused portions of your original dreams into your adult life? Do you have new dreams today that relate to or oppose your younger ones? What do you dream about now that guides you forward? What do you dream about that halts or impedes you in your life today? Take the time to stop, breathe, and focus and see what you find…
It has been said that, “It’s never too late to have a happy childhood.” Perhaps part of that statement lies in the truth that we create our own reality. In every moment, you choose where your happiness lies. You give yourself permission to honor the unseen realities that move your soul, your life, and the lives of others or you do not. You choose to believe in the truth of your quiet stirrings, magic ideas that occupy your world or you deny them. Symbolic mountains, even when they cannot be empirically measured are worth pursuing, climbing sure-footed as you take your dreams along with you to reinforce the journey ahead.
Stay true to yourself, using hints from your early dreams to guide you.
