Put Your Feet On The Ground

We often hear people say everywhere that the fate of the human being would be terrible without dreams, we commonly argue that we all have the right to dream; And while this is true, it is necessary to reflect a little on the way in which we should consider this “right to sleep”. You have to put your feet on the ground. ..

Put your feet on the ground

Well, we could say that everything begins with a dream, so far there is no problem. But the truth is that one cannot live eternally from dreams, when they have lasted for too long, when they are the main ingredient of our lives, they begin to weigh and we move away from worldly reality.

Actually, the beauty of the human imagination is foresight. That is, the ability to think about the future and act according to what we see will happen in moments after our present. In terms of dreams, this means that the reason for their existence is our ability to transform them into reality, dreams are not there for us to delight in them, they are to drive us to act in their achievement.

The intimate and personal meaning of dreams

Dreams are not a pleasure, they are a motive, a need, a wish to fulfill. If they remain forever stored in our minds, the only thing they serve us is to feel nostalgic for what we have not been able to turn into reality. Fantasy is like the consolation prize for the impossibility of pulling up our pants and trying, even if we fail, to achieve those things that we imagine for our lives.

But bringing what we have in mind to reality requires a lot of effort. It is a challenge managed by ourselves.

In the first place, it is necessary to put our feet on the ground, be honest and omit for a moment the narcissistic fantasies about ourselves, observe ourselves as we are. With what we like and with what we detest, with what we have and with our shortcomings.

It is necessary to speak to ourselves with the truth, because by deforming our image and that of the world that surrounds us, the only thing we achieve is a logical impossibility in the achievement of our goals. That is, we stay the same as we were.

Dreams are dreams. How to put your feet on the ground?

The work of observation is perhaps the most important, because only through it can we discover the things that we frequently hide for comfort. But the truth, sooner or later, wreaks havoc on our personality, so it forces us to act. So the earlier the better.

After observing, the work should be directed to eliminate those variables that are not part of our dream, of what we want to be. On the contrary, we must obtain what we lack, which are indispensable for our plans.

Well those said that every day we have to be what we are not, but we would like to be , then one sudden day things will have changed forever. This suggests that dreams are a good starting point, they are the witnesses to the power of our imagination. But they are by no means a static state in which we must stop. We may want to escape from the world around us, but we cannot live exclusively within our mind, in our imagination.

In short, it is necessary not to remain static in a posture of introversion, which leads us to fantasize in our vast inner universe, but which inhibits us from acting socially, on the outside, in order to achieve our goals. At some point we must step up and act, deal with the madding crowd and move towards what we want.
