Towards or away from our dreams?
“Nothing is neutral. If what we are doing is not moving us towards our dreams, then it’s moving us away from our dreams.” (Brian Tracy)
I think that this is a highly vital question with huge implications:
What is it that moves us towards our dreams, and what is that moves us towards failure and disappointment?
The best answer I can come up with is that Joy is the swiftest vehicle to our dreams and Fear is the sure way to unhappiness.
Fear is isolation. It is a very sad fact of life, but most people live life in utter darkness and unhappiness.
The kind of “success” that many get to know, is the success of isolation.
I have met famous actors, wealthy business-men, well to do professionals being terribly miserable behind the shining mask they were displaying.
All these everyday people, masters´of disimulation, going to jobs they hate, having “friends” they hate, the only thing in which they excel is concealing their misery, playing successful.
Now, thanks God there are still healthy, honest people who are not buying these lies, and see through this deplorable masquerade.
It is for them I write these lines.
Joy is the most irresistible quality, the best magnet that attracts people, joy is the common denominator behind all real success. Most of you know this:
Success is necessary related to other people, the fulfilling of your dreams always involves healthy cooperative relations to others. You do nothing by yourself. The “self-made” who claims to have received no help, is a liar.
Now, your very presence, the way you feel, tacitly inspire people towards their dreams, or away from their dreams. The quality of your presence attracts what it is to come for you and those you interact with.
This is fact beyond any doubt.
If success involves relation, the first step to success is to start having the right relation to yourself. If you feel unhappy you don´t have a right relation to your soul. I am aware this sounds very perplexing but it is law…
WHEN YOU ARE HONEST WITH YOURSELF, you start listening to your heart´s wish, doing things you really love to do, you find purposeful activities which make you feel at ease. This ease and contentment, create right energy, the flow of which, attracts more the things and people you need for your dreams.
Joy is unity, it means to be one with yourself. Fear is unhappiness, it is to be isolated from the “real” you.
Every time you start feeling miserable, in a weird way, you are moving away from your dreams, every time you feel happy, concretely, you are a step nearer your dreams.
Embrace your joy!

I feel un inner urge to express what I see, to communicate and share with others all these impressions. Often the things I see are there, not yet manifest, but waiting... to be observed, talked about, and embraced.
These new insights need another approach, a more vivid curiosity...
Due to fear and prejudice we prefere to see only "the offcial " truth - but THE OFFICIAL TRUTH IS DEAD - being dead, it has nothing to give...
We can continue pretending Death is fascinating or...we can take the trouble to LIVE...
THE NEW has no definition yet...
Again, IT requires another "perception", the courage to apprehend everything differently, from a totally new angle, with new confidence and inquisitive touch. This blogg is not about interesting concepts, it is about participation...finding new solutions, inspiration, togetherness..
How would You explain the difference between dreams and wishes?
Ricardo
Hi Richard,
Let´s not get losed in semantics
We wish or dream something, because that thing or person enhances our well-being.
I asked because of the enormous trap which wishes form. So, if wishes come true without insisting and forcing them to come true it’s like a dream. You can’t steer or condition a dream. In order to reach a peaceful inner consciousness it’s essential to wipe out wishes which will make you sad or depressive if they are not fulfilled. I would declare a dream like a non insisting wish which doesn’t bother you whether it comes true or not. But if it does, it’ll be a pure matter of joy.
D’accord?
Ricardo
I like this :
“I would declare a dream like a non insisting wish which doesn’t bother you whether it comes true or not. But if it does, it’ll be a pure matter of joy.”
You say also that “In order to reach a peaceful inner consciousness it’s essential to wipe out wishes which will make you sad or depressive if they are not fulfilled”
Here we come to wavering earth…To think that we can “wipe out” un-fulfilled desires or wishes is indeed a counterproductive approach. This is what Christianity and other religions have promulgated. Ask different monks who have chosen this hard way – if they ever managed with this task …Trying to get rid of desire will lead to even more depression, perversion, inhibition and frustration.
Desire is life, we cannot oppress life. We can try of course, but is like fighting a tempestuous sea…We could try to surf on it, like that we can use that immense power and dance and have fun with it…:)
So instead of fighting against desire, the more sensible task is trying to see WHAT DESIRE IS IN ITSELF, and what is the force behind IT.
We have to look both to pain and to desire if we want to have a reasonably complete picture.
I agree. You can’t really fight a desire. Especially a desire which is biologically determined. To fight it might result in giving even more power to it. That’s a road with a dead end.
Although I don’t like the philosphers attempt language I’d tend to say we should come to a reasonable handling of desires.
I’m working on that …..
