Like racing with time, people run after dreams. What’s wrong with that? There is nothing wrong with that because everyone is taught, motivated, and required to have dreams.
All desires are raised to be placed as high as a star to achieve, the sky is the limit. Learn to stand, learn to run and jump, learn to fall and rise, also learn to push and drop, open all theories and knowledge, reading the chance, opportunities and risks. Everything that can and possibly be done must be mastered to reach the sky.
Again, there’s nothing wrong with that. We believe that we do not know our limits until the boundary wall is touched by the fingertips and cannot be broken down. Before that is achieved, don’t give up, don’t despair, keep trying. Add again, go forward, higher, again and again.
Who is the whisperer? The motivator? The ruler? Until a certain stop, we become restless, broken, and disappointed because the stars have never been reached, or are still lacking and need more. While the time needle continues to move, tick tack tick tack… within the limits of morning, afternoon and night. Dreams never finish like endless skies. The sky is the limit is a great motivational sentence or slogan but only an illusion in a dream for a limited human mind. That is the spirit and paradigm that fit for the infinite spiritual world as well as the great reality in certain contexts, but not for software in this hardware.
Then when and how all the desires to pick stars and store them in this palace will end? Maybe if the desire to know your own soul has been born and risen. But ehhh… is that interesting?

I agree. I feel like all people are hustling for their dreams, spending plenty of time with it and lost their time to somehow enjoy life without stressing themselves achieving what they’ve started and still struggling to get them.
You say an important part of what I mean. Next, when will it stop?
Exactly. Let’s be SMART as they may say, specific, manageable, attainable, reliable, and time-bounded?
Hahaha… SMART… Thanks for your thought…
On the other hand, can management handle all problems? Especially mental and spiritual problems?
I would say if a person holds a string personality he/she can but if not, it’s extremely difficult to handle. Worst case scenario would be seek medical help when a person is mentally challenged. In spiritual piece, a person needs to have a strong faith for whatever a person believes in.
Glad to receive smart views from you. Beyond that, the spiritual perspective I mean is different from the way of looking of faith in religion. The spiritual I mean is to know the true self, our soul, with the basic “He who knows himself will know his God”, and that is an attempt to free our self from any dogma and concept, including “seeking and hoping”.
That’s a tough task to do I guess. Having soul searching would be the hardest and to conclude life’s purpose as well
I can’t deny that, at all.

I am getting to know my soul more and more every day. 🙂 In that process, I am becoming less frustrated and impatient. 🙂
Maybe it’s because of the vastness of the earth’s airspace as a single unit so that I can feel the increase in the vibration of your patience.
Who knows…? Souls meet each other and those of a kind recognize each others. 🙂
I agree with your opinion, and maybe also because you are a demigod and I am a semi-devil with the same magical powers but in a different nature.
Hahahahahaha, that is one way to present the matter. Not the best one, but certainly one of many. 😀
Well, at least that’s the opinion of many experts.
Yeah, right…. I think I might know one of them. 😀
Why do you like s? much to make my face blushy?
I don’t know. Suppose it’s a habit. 😀
I got tired as a person, I got frustrated, but I never give up.
Nahh… I’m curious… What makes you feel tired and frustrated, my friend?
when the chase never ends and seems that never ending work. but I am okay with those still work and chase to finally get it.
We cannot stop indeed, to learn and not to pursue. The difference in intent certainly results in differences in output, regardless of the outcome finally.
Oh yeah, of course otherwise we will just be just like that. no accomplishment and never even tried.
I’m so glad to have a great friend with a great spirit.
hahaha it is just what we have the spirit, then why lose a piece of it.
Because our understanding is reversed, we feel that, but if we realize that we are a spirit that wears flesh and blood, then we will lose nothing.
ahh that’s a nice thought, that’s the spirit!
Very thoughtful indeed and yes we all have desire to follow our dreams but what do you do of people that are around you to thwart or dash them in a concerted manner
Well, at least we have to teach our self to be wise then maybe they will follow us, moreover, if we always give samples and tell the truth bravely.
My friend is a very good poll – I was already wondering who I am actually at all
Have you done anything to answer it?
I sometimes question why our lives is like a loop, never ending …
If I answer it, I will do something that is not polite to your soul, because it is your soul who pushes you to asks and also has the answer at once.
Great post as always Albert. We must all have dreams and aspirations for sure. I do and try to keep my eye on them. But I also know life throws curve balls, so keep an open mind about everything. I am still learning myself and probably always will. I think that’s just what we do. Part of the journey.
Thank you so much, Carol. I am so happy to have a soul sister of the same struggle who is able to respond to life very wisely.
Funny, there was a time when I really didn’t know my soul and now it is much different. I know who I am. I know my soul. When your dreams are aligned with your soul, you stop chasing and start living. At least that is what happened to me.
Thanks for the great post.
Glad to hear good news from you, O enlightened person.
Very wise message!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you for your thought, LaJenna. I’m so sure that your bliss will suffice you.
Very wise words, learn to fly high and fall.
That is one of the main essences of life right? Learn and enjoy everything, or just live a life under the shadow of ambition and torture of dissatisfaction throughout your life.
It is a moment all of us reach, perhaps best captured by the line from Supertramp’s “Logical Song.” “The question’s run to deep for such a simple man.”
I would be based on reading this Albert ask you a question I heard first in College. “if you could meet yourself, as a separate entity not as you, would you like you?”
Wow! Wow! The song is one of the many rocks (with all genres) songs that have accompanied and inspired me in my search period when I was young too! You are cool, sir!
Do you believe that I immediately laughed at myself (and others) after realizing my true self? I look like kids fighting over toys with other kids… or, like donkeys running after a carrot tied to their heads.
That’s why I always write this kind of thing…
Cool stuff around here. Hard to go after dreams but no choice left but to keep chasing. Kind of uncertain that everyone is struggling about I might say
I have a suggestion for you. Don’t worry about what others might say. Be true to yourself and you will be fine. Others may judge, learn, be confused or whatever and still you will be heard. Just write.
Thank you for your advice and support to our friends here, my friend.
Thank you for your thought, Sheryl. I write this because we see that humans are generally busy to pursue hope or dreams. Not a few who get some of their passion, but so many don’t get it. Many continue to suffer or at least remain unsatisfied with the achievement of those dreams and vice versa, some realize that pursuing dreams without realizing the essence of life is futile.
