No matter our age, we all have inherent dreams and desires we would like to see come forth in our lives. We need to remember that dreams do come true and we are put on earth to make our dreams come true. But sometimes we unconsciously limit ourselves without even knowing it. We may try to live up to the standards we feel society has set for us, and if those images are not in line with our dreams, we consequently banish our deepest desires of fulfilling our destiny and making our dreams come true.
When you completely set yourself free through love and acceptance of yourself, what you dream and desire in life becomes clear. You can make your dreams come true. What is most important is that you get to know yourself, at your core. Only you know what your path is. If you love yourself enough to not be concerned with how you may appear to others, then you will have the courage to follow your own path and make your dreams come true. But if your self-love is tied up in the accolades you receive from others, you may feel too fearful to recognize and follow your dreams.
For example, when I first moved to California, my brother and I decided to publish our own magazine in West Los Angeles. At first, it was exciting and mostly everyone I met seemed so proud of us. However, we never intended it to be a life long endeavor. After awhile, I decided to move to the suburbs, work at a local restaurant, and write my first book. Although this new path impressed pretty much no one, it was the right path for me. I could pay my bills, be around good people, and I had plenty of time to write. Whether or not what you do impresses others, remain true to yourself, and what you really want deep down. If it makes you happy, you won’t care what anyone thinks.
Therefore we need to take care not to set limitations on ourselves otherwise we may not ever to make our dreams come true. We may forget those dreams from childhood, or adopt the belief system that our dreams were just fruitless endeavors. We may convince ourselves that what we really want is irrational and impossible, and suffer never becoming all that we were born to be. When we make our dreams a reality they help us expand our awareness and grow as an individual and as a culture. Deep inside us, we all have a desire to grow and become our destiny. Once you become brave enough to be yourself, then you can figure out what you really want in life.
