Never stop dreaming.
Never stop living your dreams.
Never stop going directly toward your heartโs purest dream.
With zero expectation.
And with radical gratitude for the whole of life.
You can trust your heartโs pure child-like joy.
You can trust your heartโs purest desires & dreams.
The voice of God speaks to you through your heartโs purest excitement.
When you feel that pure child-like enthusiasmโฆ
That is God whispering:
โYes, my child, YES, go, go, go, child. Be what you truly are. Do what makes you truly happy.โ
This world is far more enchanted and non-linear than most people realize.
Those who are courageous enough to pursue their dreams indefatigablyโฆ
Are rewarded.
Those rare souls who remain pure of heart and who continuously follow their heartโs true inspirationโฆ
In spite of the endless obstacles and tests and challenges that life inevitably throws at them to test the depth of their commitmentโฆ
They go on magnificent journeys, and they find their way to marvelous places.
The fairy tales are all true.
(I recently read The Neverending Story and wept like a baby at its beauty.)
The hero who remains pure of heartโฆ
Who is willing to give up everything on the noble quest for all that is True, Good, & Beautifulโฆ
Such a hero prevails.
And finds the treasure she seeks.
In the end, she discoversโฆ
It was with her all along.
In the depths of her own Heart.
Love,
Jordan
โBe content with what you have;
rejoice in the way things are.
When you realize there is nothing lacking,
the whole world belongs to you.โโLao Tzu
โNature loves courage. You make the commitment and nature will respond to that commitment by removing impossible obstacles. Dream the impossible dream and the world will not grind you under, it will lift you up. This is the trick. This is what all these teachers and philosophers who really counted, who really touched the alchemical gold, this is what they understood. This is the shamanic dance in the waterfall. This is how magic is done. By hurling yourself into the abyss and discovering it's a feather bed.โ

Wonderful post. It took me so long to figure out that all I needed to do to be happy was to follow my heart. As an artist, I had searched for years. Traveled the world, went on adventures, met many amazing souls. It wasn't until I moved to Vancouver Island till I found what I was looking for. I continue to follow my dreams but I realize now that I don't need to look as far anymore. That what I was looking for was inside me the whole time.
