What is your dream for humankind?
Martin Luther King, Jr had a dream. Not for just himself- but for his people, and ultimately for humankind.
All dreams are awesome and powerful. Personal dreams for your life are essential to creating the life that you want. You deserve that and owe it to yourself. But on Martin Luther King Day, it is day to get outside yourself and reach beyond your personal dreams.
So… What is your dream for humankind? What is your dream for your people? How would you like to see the world change in your lifetime? How can you be part of that change?
My dream is for us to create a more collaborative way of life. That we work together to support and uplift each other. Not only is it natural for us to do this for each other, but I think we will ultimately need to in order to survive. The economy and the world’s challenges are forcing us to collaborate. We can do it willingly- or on our hands and knees.
So back to your dream for humankind. Focus on it today. Meditate on it. Offer a prayer for humankind. Share it with a friend. Respond to this blog. But, put it out there one way or another. Don’t keep it to yourself. It needs to interact with other people and other dreams. This will allow it to unfold itself.
Dreams, after all, are the most powerful thing on the planet.
About author:
Michael Hoffman’s passion is guiding people to connect with their natural gifts. He believes that we all have innate gifts that hugely benefit others and the world when we offer them. The purest example of these gifts is the Native American concept of medicine or the gift you offer your people. Michael defines your medicine or gift as the natural effect you have on other people when your heart is open.
Unfortunately, the demands of our current culture to comply and fit in often distract people away from their inherent gifts and the natural expression of their being. Michael believes many of us have forgotten our dreams and what we are about. This sadly results in a loss of purpose, passion, and vitality.
As an innate gift specialist, Michael offers retreats, classes, and individual sessions to allow people to reclaim their natural gifts. These venues allow people to identify, awaken, and offer their gifts. This experiential work incorporates Zen thought, Native American ceremony, rites-of-passage, and releasing limiting belief systems.
Michael also maintains his meta blog to provide knowledge, skills, and awareness for unfolding your natural gifts. He is currently compiling this knowledge and research into a college class and book.
Michael earned his Bachelor of Science in Psychology in 1987 and Master of Social Work in 1996. He is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. In addition to his formal education, Michael studied and apprenticed with a Zen Master and spiritual teacher for 22 years to learn how to guide people to understand themselves. He has worked with people professionally since 1986 as a psychotherapist and teacher.
Michael currently resides in Oceanside, California.
