‘Stop daydreaming and pay attention’ is something that we have all heard, especially when we were a child at school.
The fact is the world would be a much better place if we all daydreamed regularly, essential for children and as adults too.
Daydreaming is a happy place, where we suspend our normal daily environment and often fantasise, imagine ambitions becoming reality, visions of our own personal success. It’s where the mind can wander and be free to dare, to create, to allow magic into our lives.
If we are to remain open, excited, expectant about our own future, happy and full of life, we must detach ourselves from the world and dream.
It’s essential to our wellbeing to believe in good things coming to us in the future.
Paying attention to what? Paying attention to the message of compliance from the system or dreaming of our own success and retaining idealism, naivety and hope.
What will you daydream about?
