Our biggest fears are holding us back. We tend to clench to them, feel disoriented by them. Controlled. Manipulated. They cast shadows on our dreams, sometimes so dark we can’t find them anymore.

 

When we are young we stray from the irrational. Monsters and witches scare us, and we hold on the objects, distractions and people to feel comfort and safe. As we grow the monsters and witches still don’t exist, but we and our fears stay the same.

 

Studies have difficulties explaining what dreams are. But researchers concluded that animals and people experience scary dreams and problem solving, even danger and paralysis, or order to prepare them for future imminent danger. In our modern world our dreams experience social danger for the most part. We fear loss, abandonment, unreturned love, shame, jealousy, anger and sorrow.

 

Of course not all our dreams are negative, dreams are a beautiful mystical thing, however the reality is… There is non. We create it. It’s all a fiction of our cosmic belief.

 

When we are small we aspire great big things. With time we are told not to dream as big, and we step back. The dreams get smaller and smaller. And the more we compromise with our conforming society, we lose sense of ourselves and our dreams. We now don’t want what makes us smile, but we want pride, money & power.

 

We must face the truth of who we are, and suck up the courage to get it. We are stardust wrapped in skin. We are more then our physical self, we have a living breathing soul different from any other. Waiting to be heart, waiting to create.

 

Our dreams are our inner child. It cries from attention, but we can hardly hear over the sound of the cars engine on the way to our 9-5 job. Do you see that kid? Do you recognize itself in you?

 

For years I forgot about her. She was so adventurous, loved being outside, playing with animals in the sun and laughing. She loved running, playing and music everywhere. But then she had a couple of rough years and before you know it, I grew up.

 

I never forgot about music and for my highschool years I followed up in DJ’s like Avicii, Eric Prydes and more. When I was 20 I flew to Tomorrowland. Never in my life did I see so many cultures and positive people. I’ll be honest for a second, Israel is great, but it’s also very negative in the city areas. The competition in a small, war inflicted country is merciless, and people lose sense of apathy.

 

People were so open minded. About countries, politics, friendliness, sex… I was intrigued. Amazed. The inner child in me woke, and she looked at them wide eyes. Astonished, appreciative and curious. “This is what I want” I remember thinking to myself. Falling in love with the universe, listening to music surrounded by love everywhere I look.

 

That day I knew I needed to change my life. And I hard to face to truth, it was mine to change. No one was going to do it for me.

 

I loved my friends, but we also didn’t see things the same way. I didn’t have any girlfriend who would camp with me, eat tuna for nights under the stars and swim in lakes during the days. I too hadn’t done this in years, which was why I felt like I didn’t know how.

 

When I came back to Israel I went back to my old ways… Until my body collapsed from over working. Something that at age 20 shouldn’t be taken lightly. I put myself back together, though yoga and meditation.

 

Looking within changed me, I knew what I needed. I needed to leave my comfort zone. Once I got the sign I booked my flight. Said goodbye to my boyfriend at the time, fit my life in a backpack and left.

 

I found a world I know few people I’ve encountered know. A world of no boundaries, and jumping into the unknown. It’s so terrifying, I actually wonder how you can live without it. It was seeing this wonder, that the world has. Experiencing ever sense in every cell of your body. Skipping a heart beat while being in front of something so magnificent, so unimaginable, only the magical being that made you could have created.

 

Yes you. The holder of the eyes reading this. The brain the processes. The heart that breathes in. That mountain you climbed, the ocean you swam in, that kiss you felt true love. That’s all you dear soul. Your inner child is calling. He thanks you.

 

In the journeys we take we discover our self. The parallels of our exists and this world collide and are intertwined. The relationship of you and this earth cannot break. You are the universe, and the universe is you. When you look around you see yourself, slowly you start to move & speak truthfully and kindfully with no thought.

 

Your inner child is now present, it is gathering your wisdom and guiding to the soul.

 

You don’t have to believe in anything but yourself. You should, but you don’t have to. People have made great creations, the Eiffel is just as breathtaking as the Everest depends on who you ask. In order to find your true passion in the unreal limitations you’ve been taught you must break free from societies norms.

 

I invite you to meditate with Five questions in mind.

For each one take two minutes, and don’t force your thought. What comes does, what leaves will go.

 

• Who are you?

• What do you do?

• Who do you do it for?

• For the people who you do it for: What do those people want or need?

• And what did those people get out of it? how did they change as a result?

 

Reading the Alchemist was a funny experience, because I had to buy the book three times. I lost the first copy on my plane to Peru, the second I left by accident in a hostel in Panama and the third I finally finished a week before returning home, on a beach in Australia.

 

I guess I needed to wait 7 months to realize I was uncovering my Personal Legend all along. Honestly, no book, person or test can tell you what your going to do in life. Or should. All things can only serve as guides. You must dig in to find what your made to turn into gold. Align your inner self with your outer experience. Fear is an illusion, find what you need to empower yourself to create your dream world. Stay true to your values and joys,

 

As Paulo Coelho wrote: “Tell your heart that the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself. And that no heart has ever suffered when it does in the search of its dreams, because every second of the search is a second’s encounter with God and Eternity.”

 

Sisters and Brothers.

I hope you dig and dive deep.

As we enjoy this magical journey together.
