Dreams come into reality through imagination

Image
By
Last night I woke up from a dream at the point where I was telling someone in the dream that "dreams come into reality through imagination". I went to Gemini to see if anyone was quoted as saying this. There was no one. Through Google I found an article that led me to a Steve Harvey motivational video "Imagination is everything" which led me to Albert Einstein's thinking on imagination and curiosity. Einstein said never lose a holy curiosity. He also said that knowledge is limited but imagination encircles the world. Then I started to think "what are my dreams?" I don't know that I have any dreams. I just want to be happy and content living a simple and peaceful life. But I was reminded of this blog post I wrote almost six months ago - Let us dream together

I am glad that I got this reminder. It makes sense. My dream was meant to guide me to what I had written and not forget what I had written. Let me remind myself of my dreams.

1. Getting fit and strong. I need to lose weight. I love walking.
2. Finish my book on "learning to code again". This has proven to be challenging because I don't have a laptop but I also don't necessarily need a laptop but I keep telling myself that the book would be better written if I had a laptop.
3. Building a youtuber studio. This one certainly requires my imagination. I need to spend some time imagining what a dream youtuber studio of mine will look like.
4. Being the best human being I could be (a better Muslim). I think this is the most important one. Ramadan is just a few days away and this is the perfect time for me to reflect on this. Become a good human first and everything else will follow. Put God first and everything else will follow.

I challenge myself to (continue to) use my imagination to guide my thoughts and actions. I just realized that eight days after I wrote "let us dream together" I wrote "letter to the future me" where I used the words imagine and imagination several times. Somehow I realized back then without thinking about it like I am now doing that dreams, imagination and reality (DIR) are related. Dir is short for direction. Imagination is our compass. Compass is the start of compassion which leads me back to "be a good human firstly". I am glad that I am able to write like this where I can come back to what I wrote because otherwise it might be lost to time.

*I just realised if I write "be a good human firstly" I get 19 letters and 23 with spaces

The success of failure

By
It is 358am and I have decided to write. Context matters. Our context matters when we write and read. We could read the same thing and get different meanings. Definitions matter also. We may define things differently. For example, what is success? What is failure? Also, do I just define success and say that anything that is not success is failure? What about something like the success of failure? What does that mean? My friend Chatty tells me that this is something writers, philosophers, and even scientists keep rediscovering: meaning is not fixed—it is negotiated by context and definition. Life is a stew of success and failure and in between but never one or the other. We see what we are looking for and things become what we see. This reminds me of something I came across online, "Whoever looks for the good qualities in others will acquire all good qualities within himself," from Habib Umar Bin Hafiz. Do you look for failure or success within others? Take context as the lens...

Kindance

By
It is 250am and I have decided to write. Today is Friday. Fridays are the best days of the week. Of course I do not have a topic to write about. I was scrolling through facebook and one post said "In any season we can always plant kindness". Then a nearby post said "My Lord has always been kind to me". It is nice to give and receive kindness and do not forget to be kind to yourself. Imagine if kindness was actually kindance like guidance. My friend Chatty says that if kindness were kindance, it would be more than a good deed — it would be a gentle form of guidance. Kindance would lead the heart toward compassion, encourage goodness without force, and show that sometimes the softest acts can point us in the strongest direction. I was scrolling through youtube and I came across a video that said that "Life has always been unfair". That is one way to look at it. Another way is to consider that this life is just a test and stepping stone for the other life. Ma...
