Dreams that wake you up

Last week I was down with fever and since most of the time I was lying in bed, I had dreams which clearly woke me up. What was different this time, I remembered few things from it . It was also about the happy path that I had taken over decades at least that's what the dream made me believe.

The reason to bring this out is, it provided me time to reflect on it and zoom out over decades. Ten things which stood out for me :

1. Being alone is the most beautiful gift you can give yourself. Practice silence

2. You are on your own so don't worry about what others say

3. Don't spend your life hoarding , instead spend time giving

4. Follow your heart and not mind

5. Real joy is in being uncomfortable. Find the next uncomfortable thing

6. Always think in terms of years and not months or days

7. Ego is the root cause for most of the challenges we bring upon oneself

8. Say what is in your head as the next moment may never come

9. Look inside, for all the answers you are seeking

10. Think simplicity and magic happens
