Dreams and hopes.

Dreams and hopes.

What are yours? I thought I knew mine. I was on a path and doing the right thing or so I thought. So, what happens when life is turned upside down and your dreams of yesteryear are not what they once were? Do we have a solid base of our dream that was supposed to be our future? A life we desire to live? One that’s solid and focused and unshakable even when life shakes us to our core? Would you leave? Do you leave? Do you follow signs? Do you let go of hope? Do you turn to the dark side?

I’m challenged daily with numerous questions and my inner voice as I seek my dreams. I get called “front and center” [ military term ] often by going in and examining my inner workings lately and what my dreams and hopes are for my life. What I have come to realize and only very recently. Life has a funny way of crushing dreams and hopes of which we dreamed and hoped for cause this divine life we lead has other plans. Surrendering to life and it’s inner workings and divine power has relieved me of stress that was in abundance when I was not on the divine path or what I believe life has had laid out for me. Letting go and surrendering is not giving up, its actually probably harder to surrender and let go of things. We are conditioned to keep trying to fight and control life because we must have this thing or be doing this thing and that causes more stress then we can handle. Hence all the anxiety and what not our in the world today. Surrendering to the divine, all things it’s quite refreshing and rejuvenating actually. Yes it’s scary as fuck to lead myself down a path led by signs and other mysterious mystical things. Yup sounds crazy but I assure you it is not.

So pursuing dreams does it stop? Do we out grow dreams and hope? I don’t think so but I do think dreams and hopes hooked into others or material things of this world needs to stop or be outgrown. My dream, hopes and passion is to help as many people in the world as I can and any way I can. Regardless of what life throws at me my dream can be fulfilled if I’m present. If I’m dreaming or hoping for a new house or a better relationship or not to be a situation I created for myself I lose sight of my dreams. I get stressed out and succumb to the dark side. Being present and allowing life to lead you is the way to life’s preverbal fountain of youth the pursuit of happiness we all seek the bees knees.

So, what are your dreams and hopes?
