Living the Dream

Is the world we perceive real?

Everything that exists in our world only has the meaning we give it.  The meaning we give things comes from the past.  For example; when you look at a coffee table, you might begin to think of coffee tables you’ve seen in the past.  Maybe you think of where they are typically found in a room; in front of a couch or chair.  You might remember putting your feet on a coffee table in the past.  You remember things being placed on a coffee table.  All of these thoughts are memories from the past.

The past is an illusion, it is only a thought.  It is a dream.  Everything in life has meaning only because we give it meaning and these meanings are derived from the past, either our own or the collective past of society.

We, in essence, are living in a dream that we project.  The things we perceive have no meaning until we project our dream (or thoughts from the past) onto them.  It is in this way that we create our own reality.

So when we speak of “living the dream” we are usually referring to creating our dream life.  The fact is, we are all living the dream right now.  The question we must ask ourselves is “Do I love or even like this dream?”  If not, then make the choice to awaken now!

Then create a new dream filled with passion, purpose and meaning!
