“In pursuit of the life we dream…”

Is there a way we could alter destiny just to achieve the life we ever wanted? What are the ways or little ways that we could say or feel that in some ways by doing it or by having it, we did or almost had the life we dream?

In pursuit of the life we dream, we took this journey hoping to achieve successful living. The focus should be on what is exactly that we want and then setting ourselves on course for going and getting it. It is very important to know what we want in our life and how we pursue in getting it.

There is another aspect of achieving the life you dreamed of. It seems to be actually counter-productive to getting the life you want, yet it is imperative to a successful life. It is giving.

Giving of yourself, your time, your money, your energy is something that takes us from simply being successful people in a traditional sense and to being people who lead successful lives.

Giving is what makes us fully human. It is the essence of what we are, people who are here on earth together, not simply people who hope to clamor to the top of the pile in the survival of the fittest. Yes, pursue your life and your success with wild abandon; be responsible for yourself and take ownership of your life, realizing that you cannot be responsible for others, but also allow yourself to become a giving person.

Giving is also what allows us to accomplish things far beyond ourselves; and that is part of what living the life of our dreams is all about, right? Accomplishing great things through ourselves – and others!
