I Go For Mine, I Got To Shine

But how do said dreams come to us? In actual sleep? In daydreaming? At work? At school? Do we sit down and think about them? Do we wake up every morning and set them? How do we realize they are dreams and not passing fancies? What makes us want to follow them? What makes us strive to complete them? What makes us so excited to live life that we can't even comprehend not accomplishing our goals?

One thing I've learned is that I've got the Socratic Method of Thinking down. All I do is ask questions just so people will ask questions on their end. I'm way too ambigious and it seems like I have no true direction. But this blog I decided to kind of do something different. This time I'm going to offer a direct opinion, just to, hopefully, make you ambigious.

Before I begin though, I think it's really important to set goals. I have really big, important life goals, but in true Brittany fashion, their ambigious (get into my dream school, find a soulmate, do what I love). But day to day, I let other goals come to me. Going looking for things sometimes works but I feel those dreams slip out of hand more easily.

My theory is, if you go looking for something, how do you know it's genuine? For instance, today I went shopping and couldn't find anything I liked. I almost bought a tank top at the last second, but as I was walking around I realized I'd never wear it and I just wanted to buy it so I could walk home with more than one thing. I went looking for something and my point of view was skewed to "oh this is sort of cheap, I'll just get it" instead of "I am absoultely in love with this and I'd be upset if I walked out without it".

I apply that same theory to dreams and goals. It has to be organic, I have to live through life and then what comes to me will be real. Those dreams that come to me may seem so completely impulsive, but I believe my sub-concious has been keeping a tally on all my life and hand picked that dream to tailor to my needs. I think it's more planned out then the decision I thought about for two hours and decided to follow. It seems more honest, more fitting, more...dreamlike.
