Feral Dreams, Radical Trust and Inspired Action.

Its time to focus on the "what", and leave the divine to work on the "when" and "how".

Feral Dreams

I have always been very action-oriented. In my mind, I could conquer the world (If I am being more practical, at least Europe, the Middle East, and Africa). In the Sims game that is human existence, my approach is simple: take as many bold actions as possible. Be a crackhead Sim: relentless, unexplainable, and unstoppable. However, I know the person with the controller made me with certain specs: a terrible memory, dark hair, and a waist-to-hip ratio that triggers envy. I was crafted by divine providence and always carried a deep sense of destiny. Have you heard of Joseph, the Dreamer? Well, he has nothing on Coffy, the Dreamer. From an early age, I knew I was destined to see the world. My spirit was called to a life of epic adventure. I have become so accustomed to my most feral, primal, and original dreams that I forget how “impossible” they seem to others. Feral dreams are the primal screams from the fire in our bellies, the rawest versions of our telos. They are the untamed, unfiltered aspirations that drive us forward.

In contrast, domesticated dreams are the perfectly manicured versions of our ambitions. These are our goals after they've been peer-reviewed, sanitized, and polished to avoid offending anyone. They gain societal approval because they affirm other people’s choices and mask the necessary danger required for an exuberant life, all in service of the illusion of safety.

Feral dreams are about accepting that a rich inner life is not just a fantasy but a necessity. These dreams involve the selfless pursuit of our personal legends, and bearing the full mantle of bringing that person to life. You have been given the blueprint of your abilities, and it's your responsibility to take inspired action to make that happen.
