It can be surprising to find out that other people want different things from life. It can also be surprising to realize what is the dream life for us.
Dream life is close
When I started writing down what were the foundational things of the daily life, I put together a schedule for a day. Dreaming into the future. Even my most ideal scenario had a ton in common with what I’m doing now. In my head, it was complicated and hard to achieve. On paper, I was sleeping and eating and moving my body. I was meeting with inspiring people. I was spending time with family and friends. I was performing. There were still things to improve. That’s the game of life.
Dream life is pretty unique
When we talk to our friends about what they want, they probably want different stuff. Our biz peers probably want different amounts and kinds of gigs than we do. They probably want a different work life balance. That’s good news for collaboration, for referring gigs to each other, for the tide raising all ships. We can make each others’ dreams come true while achieving our own!
Dream life is probably not stagnant
Oh, of course we all want to relax on the beach in Malibu in front of a mansion full of horses. No, not really. A few days of vacation are nice, but really what’s fulfilling is doing stuff. Creating things. Giving to the world. Being useful. Being challenged. We can think about what’s real. What’s really ideal and go for that.
