I have a
notebook in which I write my deepest wishes. Like a “dreambook”. To dream, as a verb; and “dream” as a noun.
It started as a means to share my “dreams” with the universe. Books such as
“The Secret” make us believe that when we speak out confirmations and
visualize, it will soon become true.
So my book
is filled with expressions like: “it would be great if …….” Or: “ I want ……..
(instead of what I do not want), and detailed descriptions of my deepest
longings.
In the
meantime, time has passed and when I read all my “letters” in this notebook
again, I feel very urged to throw it all away.
Not only do
we realize during time passes that our wishes change, or that we forgot about
mentioning some important parts in them, but being confronted with life passing
by we ourselves do change. And the things we wrote down in the first place do
not seem to meet our standards anymore because we have grown, our mindset gets
more mature, wiser, the door opens itself for the greater good in our way of
looking at the world and our life in particular.
Instead of
dreaming, we do better to wake up. Because dreaming, as I know now, is working
on your consciousness, every step of the way, every moment of our life.
To walk
that path of consciousness and getting more and more skilled in doing this, it
will get us, eventually, at that point where we finally wanted to arrive in the
first place.
But you do
not get there without any efforts. You have to stay vigilant, every moment, and
that is a hard thing to do.
Your final
destination lives in your heart
But the
only way to reach it, is to stay on a path of constant awareness. To keep on
seeing the beauty in everything that comes your way; to let dominate the silver
linings over the dark clouds.
To discover
the smallest possibilities that turn up in front of you.
It is a
difficult thing to do, to stay aware of, but that is the whole and only secret.
The end of
the line is not your goal. Your path towards the end is.
Life is a
journey and we have to try to remain open on every road we walk and through every window we look.
Only then
we will finally reach our final destination.
Love
