Jill Edwards Follow your dreams

Follow your dreams

Every child knows that life is full of wonders, from unicorns and fairy godmother, ending with the angels and Santa Claus. When we are young, we believe that there is nothing impossible in this world. Need only something much and want to believe it. The child looks carefully at a rainbow or a snowflake, and this time he knows that now is a miracle.

We grow up and society, living in difficult times, begins to "teach" us. It turns out that fairies exist only in fairy tales, to believe in miracles can only stupid kids, and adults know everything about everything. Can not be naive and trusting. And then we puts aside his magic "I" and forget about the dream. Little by little the magic world disappears. All that's left of it - is vague memories, because of which we sometimes nostalgic sigh. We were exhausted, emaciated adults. We just want to say: "If such things were really real ...".

The truth is that the magical world of carefree time there and is very close to us. To move it, it is enough to gentle whisper, a silent moment in complete silence, a sense of reverence, or heartfelt, heart embraces. Being in harmony carefree time, we remember: there children right! Dreams must come true, and they come true, miracles happen every day, and the air is filled with sparks and the stellar dust. But all this is only for those who want to see.

One of the secrets of the existence of a carefree time is a principle: follow your dream. We must believe that life must be truly magical, and our spiritual growth must take place through joy. Every spiritual tradition assumes that we are here to learn and grow, but most somehow forgets to mention the fact that there are two ways to accomplish this. We can go through the suffering and problems, hoping that will allow us to overcome difficulties to grow spiritually (approach "difficult time". Or we can to ensure their spiritual growth, learning how to do to make our dreams come true. In other words, we can grow through love, joy, and reunite with our deep "I" (light-hearted approach of Time).

The word "enthusiasm" comes from the "entheos", which means "God within us." Simply put, this is a form of top management. Joseph Campbell tried to convince us of the need "to follow the bliss", that is, doing what we love to follow their own energy. The explosion of emotions, joy and enthusiasm lead us to a higher purpose. And if we follow the bliss, then we live in harmony with their deepest selves.

To follow the dream does not mean that we must "climb out of the skin, to quickly and always make the whole row, or only live for the future, awaiting the moment when, finally, dreams come true, while constantly reminding herself: "I'll be happy when ..." (This is the path addictions. a dream come true is not an end in itself. The most important thing - is enjoying the process and by the journey to the dream.)

This path is not always easy. Much easier, for example, to learn to adapt to the other, to adjust their demands for what is expected of us, and let our dreams gather dust somewhere in seclusion. Much more will be really brave to follow the dictates of his heart, trusting with their own intuition, and religiously believe in the dream. In the end, on this path are not so often. But the result is that only this way brings real joy and satisfaction.

I believe in their dreams. I believe in magic.
