Dreams; we all have them and we have all given up on them at one time or another. Often, the ideas we have are merely put on hold for a later date. Then life gets in the way and the saddest outcome is the things, with which we have a fondness for, are never pursued. Yes, paying bills and creating a family may take priority, as they should, but that does not mean one cannot find the time to do the things they most desire.
Because of such actions, life will be more fulfilling for everyone involved. Happy people pursue the things that make them content. It boils down to creating a circle of enjoyment. Doing what one loves, makes them joyous which in turn, allows for the spreading of good cheer to all.
Society, at large, wants people to feel guilty about taking part in the things that appear frivolous on the outside. But these things fuel the soul and formulate an inner peacefulness that cannot be beat. Everyone has their avenue of happiness and no one is right or wrong about the course they wish to follow.
Partners should always encourage each other to find interests and make them part of their daily lives. Even if the other does not understand it. The important thing is for the individual to find fulfillment via pleasant activities. Too many have taken that away with an off-the-cuff remark which has denigrated those interests. It may not create a permanent resentment but there will be something in the back of one’s mind that is pained by the negativity. No one should deny another the freedom to follow their bliss.
Dreams are what make one’s life rich. Maybe not monetarily but inner abundance is as crucial as any other aspect of a satisfying path. Follow your dreams, pursue your goals and a sense of well-being will permeate your very existence. Everyone wins!
