Some Yet-To-Be-fulfilled Dreams

I requested a few people to share their 'yet to be fulfilled' dreams. Here are some of the responses.

Tali: Can i ever! It seems like in everything I do there's an incompleteness, waiting to be completed. My latest dream is to see my business, The Pinup Shop, grow into a world-wide success! Wish me luck...

Midwest: Hmm, that's a good question..We do have a lot of dreams and for me it's a bit challenging now to look for one that I really want to be fulfilled. But let's see..I think one of the dreams that is yet to be fulfilled is having a better life, a happy family and being less worried about life's little drawbacks..
MarkDykeman: I dream of writing a book and having it become a best seller.

elf_fu: I would love to sell my first piece of art. Not for the money, surprisingly. It's the thought that something I have made moved someone enough to know that they HAD to own it, to have it. That would be an amazing thing to happen.

Peopleized by: merkal2005 - Friday, 21 December 2007

zephyr1An interview with a brave climate change fighter from USA



merkal2005: Deborah, please tell us about yourself, your purpose in life, where do you live?

zephyr1: I live in an area of California that is just spectacular. The Sierra Nevada Mountains. Fortunately I have been able to enjoy this my entire life. A very curious,individual. One that loves research, investigating and learning. I feel that my purpose is multi-faceted, like me. Mostly my purpose is to raise awareness for our Climate, first and foremost.




merkal2005: what was the idea behind your blog ? Do you think you achieved your targets with that blog ? How is your reader's reaction to your posts ?

zephyr1: Knowledge is so powerful. In seeking this knowledge I realized the most pressing issues were that of Climate Change. It has led me on this path of wanting to raise awareness. I am beginning to set site on my targets however, this is a vast subject. So many aspects interest me, as well as my targets. Fortunately I have had positive reactions to my blog.


merkal2005: What kind of things,events can be done by world blogger's to create awareness on climate change ?

zephyr1: I feel we as bloggers can raise awareness by obviously spreading the word. We have the strongest voice on the web. We just need to relay the message . Events-I love poetry and would love to have a poetry event of some kind. Where the bloggers all write a poem about the climate and put it on their blogs on the same day ONE MASSIVE POEM DAY. Our writing skills are what we have to reach others.

Knowledge, Wisdom and Skills

Knowledge helps you understand. Wisdom helps you decide. Skills help you execute.

Knowledge is your ability to analyze and understand all aspects of any situation. It helps you identify the possible alternatives with their associated risks and benefits. Knowledge is your repository of information and learning. Knowledge comes from conscious mind and is based on logic. Knowledge is limited to your memory. What is forgotten is not known.

Wisdom is your ability to choose an alternative from possible alternatives. Wisdom comes from subconscious learning and is built based on all your experiences since birth and your natural instincts that came with birth. Wisdom is not based on logic, and is not limited by memory. It is not isolated by events or happenings. It comes from a consolidated subconscious experience of life and the natural instincts for survival.

Skill is your ability to execute and it comes from practice. Once your knowledge has identified the possible alternatives, and your wisdom has chosen one of the alternatives. Your skills help you move forward on the alternative.

Practice Using Your SubConscious Mind

Using your subconscious mind can substantially increase your productivity and your multitasking abilities.

We have two minds, the Conscious and the Subconscious. The conscious mind acts within our awareness. It works under instructions and/or approval from ‘Self’. The subconscious mind acts in the background. We become aware of its activities, if at all, only after the activity has been executed, hence it is spontaneous and fast. Our 'Self' does not interfere with the actions of the subconscious mind. There is no self doubt, no dilly dallying, and no instruction or approval delay.

We use our conscious mind for activities that we are not used to. With practice and experience, the sub-conscious mind can take over most activities. For a new driver, stopping the car requires him to consciously step on the brake pedal, look into the rear-view mirror and steer the car to a side. An experienced driver can stop the car, without consciously stepping on the pedal. His subconscious mind would take care of all the necessary steps. Similarly, if a writer is experienced at typing, his conscious mind can concentrate on the article, while the subconscious mind can do the typing.

You can increase your productivity and multitasking abilities dramatically by letting your subconscious mind take care of more and more activities. In addition to practice, it would also require conscious efforts to develop the confidence of leaving things to your subconscious mind.
