Why Dreaming Is the Most Altruistic Thing
You were not put on this earth to work day and night and not
enjoy life.
You were put here to enjoy an abundant life and live out your
dreams. That's why you have dreams.
Dreams arise because you exist. They are projections into the
future of what you perceived as valuable in the past.
When you deny your dreams, you deny yourself. In essence, what
you say is that what you value is not important.
If you persist in this suppression of your desires, your world
will shrink to the point of calamity. The more you deny who and
what you are, the worse things become.
Alternatively, when you accept your own value as a person, and,
furthermore, accept that it is important for you to project what
is valuable for you as the substance of experience, your whole
world, as well as those who connect with it in some way, starts
to expand.
When your dreams become a passion, then you will be unstoppable.
Nothing will stop you, simply because your dream is of more
value to you than your intimidation by untoward circumstances.
If you do not know how to do something, you will find a way to
learn it.
If you need to connect with certain people, you will find a way
to meet them.
And if you need to overcome certain internals states, certain
subconscious hesitations and resistances, you will find a way to
overcome them.
When you grasp your own value, and when you grasp how important
it is for you to get what you want, then your life takes on a
meaning and an acceleration that will move you toward a more
challenging present and a more exciting future.
Getting what you want is not a selfish act. People who deny
themselves what they want, believing that it is selfless, are in
a state of confusion.
You see, by getting what you want, you are in a place of power
to give other people what they need as well. Thus, for example,
when someone achieves a fortune, they contribute to the
well-being of all, by providing jobs, by providing a valuable
product or service, and by providing an example of what one
person can do to make things better for the world.
Those who refuse to act in a positive way diminish not only
themselves but everyone else as well because their potentiality
remains dormant. Nothing of value is introduced into the world.
Thus, for example, when you persist in deciding not to acquire
wealth, you are suppressing the flow of money in the world. You
are creating a point of stagnation. You are not offering anybody
anything, and, in fact, you become a burden on others, because
you have to tap into their resources to survive.
Your dream is of the utmost importance. While on the surface, a
dreamer may appear self-seeking, he is in fact a picture of
altruism.
Dreams redeem you. They redeem others. And they redeem the world.
The energy liberated in the actualization of a dream is a source
of exhilaration for everyone.
