A dream is just a dream, nothing more than a dream…

If you realize a dream, will you be happier?

Will this accomplishment matter on your deathbed?

My answer is NO.

Fifty years ago, the authorized representative of my father’s firm, Mr. Pfeiffer, wanted a Mercedes 600.


My father said, “I don’t care; you can get the car you want.”

My father didn’t care about cars and even drove our junk cars.

After Mr. Pfeiffer got this fancy car, he said, “After six weeks, the car will be dematerialized…”


He meant that our minds will no longer feel excited, joyful, or attached to any object we possess after some time, no matter what it is.

Because I won’t care anymore about driving the Mercedes 600, and then I can happily drive my wife’s VW Golf.

My father had already dematerialized luxury; he was one step ahead.

Both of these individuals were materialistic…

For them, it was more important to chase their dreams than to derive anything from them.

The realization of dreams was not important; what mattered was moving forward, enjoying the journey, and learning the lessons.

That is the wisdom of materialistic people…
And that is the wisdom of spiritual and religious people…

I hope this will also become your wisdom.

Only now can you be happy!
Only now can you love!
Only now can you enjoy!

You can never postpone your happiness, love, or joy.


Enjoy your journey!

If you feel like you’re not enough, consider therapy, as I did, instead of chasing dreams.

Look inside and discover your purpose in life instead of setting goals that have nothing to do with your purpose.


A purpose will give your life meaning and fulfillment.

Ask yourself:
What is my purpose in life?
Why am I here?


Your purpose will change over time!

For instance, you might not have had a girlfriend, but later you start a family with kids…


For sure, your purpose will change.
So you have to ask these questions again and again.
