An excerpt from: "A reflection on the dream of practicing the severe obstacle"

"The Harvard Happiness Class has a sentence:" happiness is a continuous process, there is no node, to achieve is ' happiness ', happiness is not an either-or state . I think there are many problems in life, such as dreams.

We can really be more aware of their dreams, but there is no such a node, before I do not know my dream, once achieved, I immediately understand. For the dream, we are gradually clear what we are going to do. Every day is on the road for all the people who are in pursuit of their dreams. Every moment is both an exploration and an answer, and every action is both a process and a result. "Dream" is not a static noun, but a continuous state, constantly developing and changing in the dynamic .

Therefore, "dream" needs to be redefined. For everyone, there is not a fixed thing hanging over a node, specially waiting for you to find out. "Dream" is a relative concept, we can only say "Now" you think XX is your dream, but the passage of events, the dream will also change.

Just as people's interest will change with age and accumulation of experience, "Life's Dream" is a pseudo-proposition, the correct saying is: at this stage, what do you want to do most? instead of racking your brains to think about the long-term goals of the next decade, because you can't give a future answer, you're giving it a "prediction." You can't say: I want to be a writer after ten years, you can only say, I want to be home now. On the timeline, looking back, you can give the conclusion, but the forward gives, all just the predictions.

So, the desire of the present, the things that we want to do now, large or small, are the most satisfying-whether it looks like a dream that will last a lifetime. When you realize the dream of the present, the next moment comes, you will naturally understand the future of the answer. You can't give tomorrow's answer today. You ask: what kind of person do I want to be after ten years? The key to this question is: What do I think I should be 10 years from now?

Further reflection, when we ask questions about the future, we often omit the implied premise, so we always feel that we can not see the future, and feel that our thoughts about the future are very vague. In fact, when each of us can answer "what I want to do at the moment", you have already got the answer about "life". Because "life" exists only in the present moment, you already have the answer to the dream now.
Dream is not a big deal, there is nothing to be proud of the dream, no dream and nothing to be ashamed of. Life is but dozens of years, as long as it is to live their own life, to do the body and mind in one, do not have to be "dream" the concept of restrictions, live to twist the bar, tangled. ”
