Dreams as tools
I mean it’s not the worst idea
I overheard a person yesterday refer to dreams (in the goals way not the sleep way) as tools to create better circumstances in the world. Which is an interesting thought— that having/achieving our dreams isn’t about (or just about) some possibly selfish want, but about a way to use our respective talents to make the world better. So today, write to imagine what ripple effect might happen for others by you achieving your goals. Maybe the book you’re working on has the potential to change some long-standing social norm. Maybe the op-ed you want to write has the potential to change a law. Or, maybe just doing the work you want will result in healing generational trauma instead of passing it on? Whatever the case, let yourself imagine all the possibilities and write deeply. Let’s go.
