What are you dreaming about?

 Inspirations arise in unpredictable moments. You don't wait for inspiration. Inspirations arise somewhat by accident. They are a byproduct of the exercise of mindful observing.


Today's entry is about dreams. I do not know why. I was inspired by Jacek Walkiewicz.


The man who appeared on TedxWSB on February 13, 2013 (the speech can be watched on YT). This twenty-minute performance, which I watched only recently (sometime around 2019-20), had a fundamental impact on my perception of the world. I highly recommend it to anyone who will spare 20 minutes of their precious time to watch this speech.

Full power of possibilities


What are you dreaming about?

This is a very simple question and it wasn't easy for me to find the answer. Due to the fact that I had difficulty finding the answer to this question, I decided to ask other people as well. I wonder how everyone approaches their dreams.

Do we dream materially? About a lot of money that, in our opinion, will solve many problems? Wouldn't having a lot of money bring more problems? Or maybe you dream of a new car or a bigger house. Why is this important to you?

Or maybe you dream of meeting the love of your life. Maybe you were not able to fall in love without memory and lose your head for this love.

Perhaps you dream of health. When we encounter illness, the first emotion we experience is fear. Fear of the unknown. What's next? Health is important, but we do not always take care of it. This is probably because we have an innate ability to desire immediate reward for our actions. A reward postponed in time is no longer so attractive. That's why a small percentage of people think about saving some money for retirement. It's the same with punishment. A delayed punishment does not seem like a punishment that will materialize.

Do you dream of having an interesting job? What job is interesting for you? What do you want to achieve in this job?

In my humble opinion, it is worth considering what we dream about. It is also worth defining some dreams. What are our short-term, long-term and medium-term goals.

It's worth dreaming big. It's worth it, because our lives should be worth a lot to us.

It's also worth having a few dreams.

I have an anecdote from my private life archive. Some time ago I fulfilled one of my work-related dreams. I achieved what at the time seemed to me to be my Mount Everest. And when I was standing on the top of my Mount Everest, I thought, "What's next?"

That's why it's worth dreaming big. Let's set goals along the way. Their implementation will bring us satisfaction, which will be the driving force that drives us to fulfill our dreams. Each goal is a step on the way to realising your dreams. Our private stairway to heaven.

And what's next? Well... after that it's just magic. After that, there is only dance in the stars.

First step in the clouds

 In 1956, the publishing cooperative "Czytelnik" released a collection of short stories by one of the Polish writers closest to my core – Marek Hłasko – titled "The First Step in the Clouds" ( Pierwszy krok w chmurach ).  Marek Hłasko was the first honorary winner of the "Zygmunt" award, granted by a committee consisting of me and one other buddy :-) (for those who know).  Paradoxically, today's post will feature absolutely nothing about this collection of stories or Marek himself.  I'm writing about him because I really liked this specific title and decided to use it for today's entry, and I hope Marek will forgive me for it. ...  ... My mentor often repeats that realized dreams are priceless.  The dreams we make come true are exactly our steps in the clouds.  In today's world, it seems to me that being a dreamer has rather negative connotations. Someone who always has their head in the clouds. Someone who can't find their place in a m...

At first, understand that you are dying

Obraz
 Without an instruction manual. This is how we show up in this world. Without guidelines on which direction to go.  Without signposts.  That single moment when we say goodbye to the womb forever is the purest moment of the unwritten page of our history. Paradoxically, the moment of our birth is the beginning of dying. However, we are not aware of how long this process will last.  Today, a topic that has been close to my heart for a long time. Dying.  *                                                                      *                                                                         * I deliberately...

Audaci vultu aspice

The end of the year.   Because of this, I decided to write a few words here in my "garden of thoughts" as well. The year 2025 was a year marked by change for me. But not only that. It was an interesting year in terms of reflection. For several years now, I have had plans for each coming year. Sometimes they form a coherent whole; other times, they are a flash of needs which, if not fully realized, can lead to a sense of defeat and failure. And that is exactly why I am writing this post. Yesterday, I heard an interesting phrase: that we set this boundary point from which we begin our transformation (or, more precisely, plan our transformation) because we feel a need to ritualize the moment of transition. "Starting Monday, I will..." "Starting with the new year, I will..." "Starting next month, I will..." I don’t judge whether the ritual of transition is good, bad, necessary, or not. It is likely whatever it needs to be for each of us individually....
