This morning, I watched a video/ talk on the Law of Attraction. Doing this, has almost become a habit for me these days, especially if the theme of the talk piques my interest. Today it definitely did:
Daydreaming
Here's a link to the 5 minute audio fragment that inspired this write up, just in case you want to give it a listen first:
DAYDREAMING
You might ask yourself:
Isn't daydreaming the opposite of what I'm supposed to do? Aren't (day)dreamers people who take no action, who are getting nowhere?
There's some logic to that thought. Or, in other words, it's a deeply ingrained believe, that most of us create while growing up.
Kids are still allowed to daydream - many parents, mine included, support their kids when they create things/ are creative - but a daydreaming young adult is told to 'snap out of it', to sleep at home, in the night. A daydreaming adult is considered lazy, afraid to confront 'reality', perhaps even 'insane'.
What many don't realize, is that it's exactly our daydreams ( yes, everybody does daydream ) that actually create our reality. And - unfortunately - most of us, are either focused on the past or on the future. Usually in a stressed / worried/ nervous way - thereby creating a 'reality' or staying stuck in an unwanted reality. One that is far from the life that we would love to live.
Now ask yourself:
What kind of life am I living? What reality have I created? Would you like to change it into a different version?
Do you remember those positive daydreams from the past? Those that were way more fun than the life that you witnessed around you?
What if you could actually get back to those dreams, knowing that they can turn into reality. Wouldn't that be fun? You can do exactly that - from today onwards - by consciously daydreaming about the kind of life that you would like to live.
What is stopping you from doing this? There's always time to daydream. Start daydreaming about the life that you would like to live and see what happens...
While doing some research - for lack of a better word - for this post, I stumbled upon Radiohead ( my favorite band in the late 90s to early 2000s ), while searching for 'daydreaming' on Spotify.
I had never heard of this album - nor of its titlesong - that I am listening to 'right now'.
Here's a link to the video:
And for those of you who grew up in the 1980s and 1990s, here's a song you might like. I was reminded of it, while thinking of the theme daydreaming:
It's awesome to discover the parallels with the law of attraction - and what I've just been talking about - in the song's lyrics ( that I added underneath the video):
2 Brothers On The 4th Floor - Dreams (Will Come Alive)
Dreams to survive
Dreams make a wish come true, ooh
Keep your dreams alive
Dream, dream on
Your dream will come alive
Come on dream on
Come on dream on
Come on dream on, boy
Your dream will come alive
Come on dream on
Come on dream on
Come on dream on, boy
Your dream will come alive
Your dream will come alive
Your dream will come alive
Once again a song comin' strong
Here to remind you got to dream on
Go for what you know don't let it slide
Take a change let's ride
To the future not to the past
Take it easy and not to fast
Many failed in society
To blind to see you need to be free
Free from the strain that causes pain
Pain is the name and life is the game
Dream on try to survive
Keep hope alive reach for the sky
Do the best you can make a wish come true
Listen here's the clue, let it flow before it's all gone
Come on boy you got to dream on
Dreams to survive
Dreams make a wish come true, ooh
Keep your dreams alive
Dream, dream on
Your dream will come alive
Come on dream on
Come on dream on
Come on dream on, boy
Your dream will come alive
Come on dream on
Come on dream on
Come on dream on, boy
Your dream will come alive
Your dream will come alive
Your dream will come alive
Try to relax and move to the track
Go for your goals and don't hold it back
Strive to keep you dreams and hopes alive
Do it know and don't pass it by
Life is too short so give me your hand
I will lead you to another land
D. R. O. C. K. is here with the light
Shinin' bright 'cause I'm right
Close your eyes and just concentrate
It's never to late to erase the hate
Focus your mind when I say my rhymes
'Cause I'm always on time
Do the best you can make a wish come true
Listen here's the clue, let it flow before it's all gone
Come on boy you got to dream on
Dreams to survive
Dreams make a wish come true, ooh
Keep your dreams alive
Dream, dream on
Your dream will come alive
Come on dream on
Come on dream on
Come on dream on, boy
Your dream will come alive
Come on dream on
Come on dream on
Come on dream on, boy
Your dream will come alive
Dreams are the way to express yourself from the heart
Now it's time to depart
On a journey for the mind
Peace of mind is what you will find
Like Martin Luther King
I had a dream, that we all would sing
In peace and harmony comin' strong
Come on boy, you got to dream on
Dreams to survive
Dreams make a wish come true, ooh
Keep your dreams alive
Dream, dream on
Your dream will come alive
Come on dream on
Come on dream on
Come on dream on, boy
Your dream will come alive
Come on dream on
Come on dream on
Come on dream on, boy
Your dream will come alive
Your dream will come alive
Your dream will come alive
2 Brothers on the 4th Floor was a Dutch (euro)dance act and whether you want to admit it or not, 1990s dance was on a whole different level from most of today's 'popular' dance music. Being a Dutchie myself - and not much of a nationalist - I am still pretty proud of my home country's dance acts and I'm not even talking of all DJ's from the last decade or so.
