A bit of late night inspiration, if you will.

Mar 29, 2006 00:07

So, about a month ago, I had this dream. I wrote everything down, and did my best to understand what it meant. It was mildly life-changing in a sense, as I took things in a different light upon waking. Maybe some of you will do the same. Let me know what you think ( Read more... )

Yeah for me. First again. For starters I will go on the path of the silly. You mentioned 3 globes and not being able to juggle them. But indeed juggling them is possible. I can juggle. I don't know what that had to do with anything. Now on the path of the serious. You make some good points. We should try to live each moment like it was our last so that we would have no regrets when our time comes. But unfortunately life is full of those little snags which can complicate matters and divert your attention from the things that really matter. Still, what you wrote was some good stuff.

i can answer that i have no idea what is the best path, that i worry about all of them, but that i choose none of them. who can say if they are living their life the way that they should. no one really.

Yeah, I totally saw you, but I didn't say anything just because I wanted you to actually respond! :-P

You know what they say, "Do one thing, and do it well." I can not say I agree with you as I fell a life with direction will get somewhere, while a life without it will not. Take for example, two guys. One always follows his heart. Sure, he gets hurt at times, but now he has someone who he loves and does everything for. That makes him happy. The other does not, and does not try. He is stuck where he has been for years and while he may be happy now, just hanging out with people... there will be something missing.

Personally, I have made my decision to pursue fame and money. I feel they go relatively hand-in-hand, and I am good at money. If a relationship comes to me, that's great... but I don't particularly want to get married at least until my 30s. We may not be meant to know fate, but we should all have goals. We should all have dreams.

I see your point, and cede you that much. However, my problem tends not to lie with goals within a life (i.e. something you work towards) but instead listening to everyone tell me their 5 and 10 years plans as if they are set in stone. Indeed, I recognize the significane of having those same goals and plans, but it is the lock/stock atmosphere, the absolute that I contest. My goals are to be at peace with my soul and my spirit, and whereever that takes me is good enough fo me. That may not work with most, but I seem to be doing ok for now. However, unlike many of my peers, my life can change, and instead of it wrecking plans already laid, I'm more oriented to the goal of "rolling with the punch" and alternatively creating a new plan. It's something I've not seen much of lately, and indeed, found lacking in many of the "career-oriented 20 somethings" around this camps. Fluidity is ths stuff which gives life spontaneity - without it, the spice of life is stale and dry. Many do not agree with my viewpoint, and I understand that ( ... )

I definitely posted, "This is of course subject to change, and I hope it does" in my 10 year plan post. While I agree that spontaneity makes life far less stale and dry, I do not see how that would interfere with a long term plan... unless you're talking about something like packing up and moving to Africa because someone suggested it. If the person I was meant to marry suddenly arrived today, would I turn her away? No, my plans would change... but I have a plan because that is not likely to happen. I just think that if I did not have a plan, others would decide for me. Personally, I would rather be in control.

I started reading your entry and immediately my mind wandered to Styx. Crystal baaalllllll!!!

So anyway on a more serious note that quite a deep dream. I can never remember that much detail if I have dreams that even come close to that. Kudos to you for being able to put all that to words, and good points made.

Paul,
You have the more awe-inspiring dreams of anyone I have every known. If I were to imagine your subconscience, it would this deep chasm that would echo when I shouted into it. You are just that deep. And I see you point of not knowing fate. I have no 5 or 10 hear plans. I have a 3-year plan of attending law school, and am not worrying beyond that right now. I also have an ultimate career goal of being a Supreme Court Justice, but no plan on how to get there.
See you in a week's time mi hermano.
