Is dreaming important? – GOOD SHAPE

Today I’m not going to talk about the dream when we’re sleeping, but about daydreaming, imagining life in the future, looking at your desires and allowing yourself to dream big!

I’ve always been a very dreamy person, but at this point in my life I found myself very down to earth and a little hopeless about my dreams. But in a therapy session (yes, psychologists also do therapy), I remembered how important dreaming is and gives me motivation to live!

Dreaming is what gives me energy when I wake up, which helps me organize my routine in order to be closer to what I want every day. Dreaming is what makes me see life brighter, more humor and joy. Dreaming motivates me to make it happen and that is what gives my life movement.

You know, when I’m asked about limiting dreams, I like to think of airplanes. How could someone have thought of making something so heavy fly and actually made it happen? Something very difficult, which certainly required a lot of effort and dedication, which had many errors in execution, but which was not a limiting factor for the final execution either! And nowadays planes are great catalysts for dreams! Dreams of those who someday want to live this experience of flying, dreams of living abroad, discovering new places, visiting loved ones, expanding their work… Flying is also dreaming!

And I’m sure that many must have looked at the dream of building an airplane and judged, saying that it wouldn’t work, but here we are! And with each passing day, the plane becomes something more commonplace in our lives.

So today I want to remind you of the importance of dreaming, dreaming big or small, dreaming for yourself and ignoring what others think about it, dreaming and thinking about how to achieve, dreaming and imagining yourself living your new experiences!

Another point I want to draw your attention to is for you to analyze your life today and ask yourself if there are parts of it that are already the realization of previous dreams. Or if even your life is better than any dream you ever had!

We get used to things and sometimes we leave that taste of celebrating our achievements for later and it never arrives. But today is the time for it!

Who knows, maybe today you can have a better routine than you wanted before, that you have healthy relationships that you fought so hard, that you live in the apartment you dreamed of, that you have a partner, that you have a family that may have been a dream before… Everyone has different dreams and this is something that makes us unique!

After all, as Friedrich Nietzsche said: Nothing is as ours as our dreams!

And if we don’t dream for ourselves, nobody will! So dream, dream big and make it happen!!
