Our Truest Life is When We are in our Dreams Awake

I’m not exactly sure how to interpret this one. It is one of the cooler fortunes that I’ve gotten in a while.

What this means to me

This FortunateBluFrog Fortune means to me that when we are truly happy then we are living our truest life. Dreams mean happiness, for example, what is your “Dream Job” that implies that the job would be the best fit for you and you would be so happy doing the job. Basically a dream job would be one where you wouldn’t care if you got paid or not, you’d still do the work with a smile. For me, blogging is that Dream Job. I’d love to be able to blog every day full time for myself, write whatever I want and get paid for it, paid enough to live. I’m not talking making mega money, just what we would need to live comfortably and debt free, and maybe take a few trips each year and not have to worry about a budget. Yep, that would be my dream job and if I was able to do that then I would be truly awake in my dream.

Making the Dream a Reality

This is the scary part. I’ll just keep at it each day and learn as much as I can from people I will network with and help as many people as I can so that I can gain a better understanding of how to achieve my dream.

I’m often asked by people, “Why do you blog?” I think that the statement from today’s FortunateBluFrog fortune sums it up so well. I started blogging because I didn’t feel that my “real” job allowed me enough creativity. I had worked as a web designer prior to going corporate. I loved being able to create images and really enjoy the work. I applied to be a graphic artist at my current place of employment but the fates and the people I interviewed with said that I’d be much more suited to the implementation division. Implementation meant that I would work with customers to get them up and running on the software after they had purchased it. This actually was a very enjoyable job, I got to travel everywhere and meet many interesting people and work with them one on one. But I didn’t feel creative at all.

Put Your Heart into What You Create

On my 1st day at my job another person told me that I should always have a camera with me because I was going to see so much. He was so right about this and I took a camera with me on every single trip. I already had a camera with me and when I became inspired by Christopher Williams in 2005 I started my Photo-A-Day Project. I am nearing 4 years of it I am so happy that I took the time to blog and express creativity each and every day.
