Anarchistbanjo's World

As a man I was determined to bring my dreams into physical reality and everywhere I turned I met with opposition. I was forced to confront the world as it really was and deal with things that I really didn’t want to deal with, things that I felt were not really important. I wanted to take shortcuts and didn’t want to be bothered by the small details. I didn’t realize at the time that the small details made the difference between success and failure.

Another way of saying this is that I needed to become competent at life before life would recognize me and grant me my desires. There is such a wide chasm between having a dream and manifesting it in physical reality! That requires attention to the small details!

It is so easy to be distracted by other concerns, by other people, and by other dreams as well. I was a dreamer and it was not easy for me to be practical! In a way I had to constantly think about my dream until it became so strong that I grew emotional about it. When I became emotional enough about it I was driven to act upon my dream. After several failed tries and repeated efforts I often managed to achieve my dream but the results were not anything like what I had expected. I never seemed to get it on the first try!

But each success made me stronger and helped me to believe in my own capabilities, to believe in my own ability to succeed! Each success allowed my sense of self and my self-esteem to grow stronger. Success can become just as much of a habit as failure can! We need successes to be successful in life, it’s just that simple. If I wrote a list of the top 20 things that I wanted to do in my life I have already done the top eighteen. The fact that none of them turned out the way I had expected does not change the fact that I have achieved them. And in the process of achieving each one of those goals I became more competent at determining what my true goal should have been all along.

And now I’m left with this one final thought. To make your dream come true you need to pursue that dream, give it all you have, and not allow yourself to be distracted by less important things. Unfortunately, the world calls that being selfish and egotistical. It will try everything in its power to turn you away from the realization of your dream! It will try to force you to serve some other dream! Most people never even get the chance to go after their dream in life because the obstacles are too strong for them to overcome.

Do you recognize the stages? The child is realistic, but emotionally caught up in the flow of physical events without the ability to understand or recognize why they were happening. The youth has gained understanding, but at the cost of stepping outside the flow of physical events as they happen. The youth has become an impractical dreamer and observer of life. It is the adult that struggles to make the dream become physical reality and the only way to do this is by dedicating one’s entire self to that life purpose or goal. Otherwise they will be sacrificed to some higher goal that is not their own.
