subject: You Were Born Rich - Dreams Inside You [print this page] You were born rich and you can turn your life into anything you want. Unfortunately, you are the one person getting in the way of that. You have accumulate a massive amount of negative influences and attitudes along the way ultimately keeping you from what you want. During these travels through life you've collected many tools to deal with the hardships such as denial, television, alcohol and other forms of depressants. Similarly, you've also used caffeine and quick fixes to create the highs in your life.
You shop for pleasure only to feel guilty later since you shouldn't really afford it. You want to be that person in the advertisement, though. Not a care in the world. Unfortunately, the advertisements aren't real. They don't care about you; just about separating you from your money.
Why is life like this? You have listened to your family. You have listened to your teachers. You have listened to your boss or manager. They have a vested interest in your performance. They don't really care about your soul or dreams. These people aren't rewarded for nurturing.
There is, however, a way to insulate yourself from the negativity. First, you must stop trying to live up to other people's expectations of you. This will be hard and you must do this incrementally to save your sanity. Switching from a consumer drone to an self serving individual will take time. Your attitude will have to change. People will be upset of your transformation and will readily give you their opinions. All of this will be hard to take.
Your dreams are the signpost to your life. They are telling you were you need to be headed and what your true potential is.
For example, you've always felt right at home surrounded by books. Could your feelings tell you that you should work with books as a librarian, a bookstore clerk, a writer or an editor? What if you feel a rush of happiness each time you view a well composed photograph? Should you be a photographer or designer of some type? These feelings and signs reside in your dreams.
You have to want to start, though. Sitting at home, waiting for someone to tell you what to do only gets you sitting and waiting. It is up to you to get the support and information you need. I've identified some of the problems and some ways at looking at how to start fixing them. You have to take the steps to change.
