Dream Big

Shakespeare frequently explored the idea of dreams and the illusionary nature of the world in his works. One of his most famous plays, “A Midsummer Night’s Dream,” is entirely centered around the idea of dreams and the magical, otherworldly realm they create. Additionally, several of his other plays, such as “The Tempest” and “Macbeth,” also touch on the theme of the fluid and ever-changing nature of reality.

Shakespeare’s concept of the dream nature of the world implies that reality is not fixed or immutable but is open to interpretation and imagination. This means that our lives are not predetermined but can be shaped by the choices we make and the actions we take. To be faithful to truth and create new paradigms and patterns of action, we can use our imagination to envision a better world and then work hard to make that vision a reality.

Here are some steps you can take to live your life in line with this philosophy:

1. Use your imagination: Take some time to think actively about the kind of world you want to live in, the kind of person you want to be, and the kind of work you want to do. You can let your mind wander and dream big, imagining what is possible rather than what is expected.

2. Create a vision: Once you have an idea of what you want, write down your vision and create a plan for how to achieve it. You can break the vision into smaller, more achievable goals to avoid feeling overwhelmed.

3. Take action: Begin working on your goals, taking small steps every day to make your vision a reality. Be persistent, patient, and willing to learn from your mistakes.

4. Stay open to change: Remember that reality is not fixed, and sometimes the unexpected can happen. Be open to new ideas and opportunities, and be willing to revise your plans if necessary.

By following these steps, you can live a life that is faithful to truth and open to the possibilities of imagination and hard work.
