Dream is Destiny!

Quote from Waking Life:

"Dream is Destiny"

I've read this quote many times and it touches me deeply in my soul. Recently I started writing lyrics for a new piano song with the same concept in mind. Here are some of my lyrics so far:

"When you're dreaming 

And it feels so real

Trust in your heart and soul 

It is your Destiny.

Dreams are the flowers that bloom in your soul 

Never let them go 

It's all we ever really know." 

There is another quote that I love about dreams by Marsha Norman: "Dreams are the illustrations from the book your soul is writing about you."

I love reading inspirational quotes; they are usually short and easy to find your own personal soul meaning, and I love being inspired to write my own lyrics and quotes. 

I sometimes have an issue with the word destiny, I'm not sure if it refers to fate, as if we don't have free will or a choice on how our life turns out? I just looked up the definition of Destiny: the hidden power believed to control what will happen in the future; fate the events that will necessarily happen to a particular person or thing in the future.

At the same time, I actually love the word destiny; it has a deeper more mysterious meaning in the overall picture of one's life. Almost like a legacy, and the steps one takes to meet their destiny and create their legacy that they leave behind. I love this quote about leaving a legacy by Patti Davis: “That is your legacy on this Earth when you leave this Earth: how many hearts you touched.”  

I do like the concept of divine order which I also think is similar to destiny. While we're in the midst of finding our destiny in our dreams, or trusting the universe in divine order, we are continually making choices and using our free will to live our life as best we know how. I hope when my time is done and I've reached my destiny that my life was filled with meaning and purpose, and loving-kindness and compassion for all. That will be the legacy I choose to leave in my name as my Divine Purpose.

I am grateful for my dream time and look forward to reaching my soul’s destiny in this incarnation. I shall continue to Dream and Become my Destiny and diligently work on creating my Legacy!
