One Apple A Day #388
I spent last weekend with a group of extraordinary men, defining our grand vision for the future.
Our future as a group but also the future of humanity.
And boy, if we dreamt big.
I still have the chills thinking about the vision and the ideas we shared.
I’ve always been a dreamer.
When I was a kid, I was always hidden somewhere reading a book and fantasising about me being one of the characters. It wasn’t unusual for me to be so lost in my dreams to forget to eat or sleep.
But at that time, dreaming was a way to run away from a reality I didn’t like.
As a teenager, I couldn’t think at another way to deal with a world that I thought was not for me.
My way out was made of novels.
Then I grew up, and I learned to relate with reality.
I just had to dream a little less.
Yes, like everyone I read the stories of incredible people who change the world through their dreams. But I always thought they were just cut out from a different cloth. They were superhuman who can go into the realm of dreams and bring things back to the realm of reality.
In the last two years, I’ve been sharing my life’s journey with people who taught me that we are all extraordinary. Every human being has the power to harvest in the realm of dream and change reality.
Including me.
If you don’t like the world you live in, you can escape in the realm of dreams. You can disappear in ideologies, or you can use drugs. You can refuse reality and hide from it.
Or you can take those dreams and change your world by being creative. Through arts and science, through your commitment to something bigger than yourself.
In both cases, the starting point is you.
It’s your choice.
