My dad and I designed a cattle house when I was nine years old. My dad made a backdoor on it because he believed front door creates more distractions and noises to cattle. Back door provides more air, peace and comfort to cattle. He also said back-door protects from wind, rain, cold and other predators.
My dad told me that backdoor works like our subconscious mind which works all the time seven days and twenty four hours. When I initiate any dream project in my life, I always remember my dad and remember his unimaginable dream project of cattle house. I learned the lesson that big dream always comes from back door, the subconscious mind. It makes a continuous presence through a connection with the front door in our life which is a conscious mind. Carl Jung, noted psychologist and author of ‘The Red Book‘ coined that any dream is the direct, spontaneous expression of the unconscious and it is crucial for bringing insights into the conscious mind.
“Innovative mind brings consistent habit of thinking and spending time alone, which is key to make complex thinking into pattern of simple practical schemes.”
If we are like ordinary people, we don’t often think about dream, unless we have one. Very few and selected people pay attention to their dreams. Dreams give rays on the hope of life which are most of the time beyond imagination.
For example, can you believe immortality on us?
Can you download an app in your brain so that you can run marathon without any difficulty?
The reality is that some people on earth live with these kinds of unimaginable dreams. Without them, we wouldn’t progress and prosper on the planet, the hunger for more progress and prosperity will die.
Ultimately, we need to flourish through innovation and advancements and big dreams help to cultivate these seeds.
Peter Thiel, innovator and author of ‘Zero To One‘ is trying to stop the death. Larry Ellison, co-founder of Oracle, is also pursing the same dream. The question is how does their brain work?
What is the source of their plentiful flow of serotonin in their body?
Is it really possible to become immortal or reduce our age?
Many people might think they are crazy but for some people this is a normal way of living their lives.
Peter Thiel, Larry Ellison, Larry Page and few others are devoted so much for anti-aging research. Peter already registered himself to be cryonically preserved, such that the dead body is kept to low-temperature preservation after death with the hope that he might be successfully revived by future medical technology.
Dreams don’t come directly from ocean and sky in our mind, they come from rational discussion, reading history and psychology books, and by association with great innovative minds. Innovative mind brings consistent habit of thinking and spending time alone, which is key to make complex thinking into pattern of simple practical schemes.
When we acknowledge any weakness on us, many of us think that we are accepting it. But for innovative mind, accepting any weakness means one step closer to overcome it.
Usually our mind doesn’t see opportunities right next to us because we are so bogged down on our weaknesses. Michael Jordan, the basketball player of all time, said “Do not think about what you do not have, what you can not do, just think about how best to use it what you have.”
“We as human beings are species of perception, intuition, and trust.”
Our dreams are not the prerequisites of our actions, instead tools of not accepting the weaknesses and limitations.
I still vividly remember many ridiculed stories about Donald Trump when he decided his candidacy to be the next president of the United States. He committed to his dream despite no experience of any kind of public office. But still, he beat everybody in the election to secure the most powerful public office on the planet.
How did it happen?
Weak mind says I need experiences related to my dream to succeed.
The great and innovative mind says, if I dream subconsciously, there is a way to make it possible whatsoever.
Donald Trump is a very big dreamer, a very good inspiration for those who especially look for related experiences to achieve something in life.
We as human beings are species of perception, intuition, and trust. Many times, what we see doesn’t work but what we think works and leads to revolutionary success as shown by the great inventor of all time, Thomas Edison, who famously found 10,000 ways that didn’t work for the light bulb, but saw them as steps toward the one way that would work.
“Nobody can possibly be an expert at everything on earth, Donald Trump, Peter Thiel, and Michael Jordan know what they don’t know.”
When we dream something big constantly, may be a plan or project, our mind works constructively to make it a reality through a backdoor all the time.
Just imagine, when we watch a very sad movie, why do we cry? When we watch a comedy, why do we laugh?
We know that we are watching a movie and it is not real but still we cry or laugh why? Because our crying or laugh is not fake, it is real. The reason our body shows these emotions because our mind doesn’t differentiate between real and imaginary.
Donald Trump’s presidency is exact example of it. Trump visualized the presidency every single day and turned the imaginary into reality by involving his mind into practice.
After winning the election the success depends on everyday work for which he has to find people who are experts in the areas. No one learns or has time to learn everything in life from scratch.
Nobody can possibly be an expert at everything on earth.
Donald Trump, Peter Thiel, and Michael Jordan know what they don’t know. They bring expert around them to succeed their dream projects.
Conclusion
Dreams solidify our power of vision and direction, which transform unconquerable obstacles to conquerable outcomes at some point in life.
Dreamers make a change into an opportunity for generations to come.
The best way to predict the change is to have a unique dream, create it by doing something everyday. Peter Drucker, management guru and author of ‘The Effective Executive‘ said beautifully “The best way to predict the future is to create it.”
