Remember Mindfulness \u2013 breathe slowly <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dreams and reality <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s the possibility of having a\u00a0dream come true that makes life so interesting. Paolo Coelho. Most dreams are worth working for. And worth failing for. But not all. So, what are your dreams? Are they valid? Imagine all your life pursuing a\u00a0dream only to find at the moment you have it, that it\u2019s not up to scratch. Sometimes a\u00a0dream is a\u00a0better motivator than an actual goal. When you actually achieve your dream \u2013 perhaps to be a\u00a0millionaire \u2013 it can be a\u00a0huge disappointment. Perhaps it\u2019s true what they say: the pleasure is in the journey, not the arrival. So be careful what you wish for. Am I\u00a0sure that I\u00a0will be glad when my dreams come true? <\/strong>
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are my dreams actually just desires, a\u00a0mirage of endless pleasure that will turn to dross? A\u00a0dream worth pursuing has to be for a\u00a0valid purpose and there are such dreams: to marry and have a\u00a0family for example, or to become a\u00a0doctor. Setting ourselves up to follow a\u00a0dream like that is fine but we should remember that life does not cease at such moments. If you can dream and not make dreams your master. Kipling. Whatever we achieve, there will always be something to do\u00a0after that. Simply making sure that everything we do\u00a0is done for the right purpose, may result in fulfilling our greatest dream \u2013 happiness on a\u00a0daily basis. I\u00a0ask to balance my dreams with reality.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
