The only person who can sympathize with and understand you, is you. So, be good to yourself.

- Latest Review: Building A Coaching Culture by Andreas Von Der Heydt
I believe God has not given each individual a dream. Initially, when God created mankind, He had made a dream for them that they live forever on paradise earth and become many. Tending to all living things and creatures. This lifestyle was meant to be free from any cause of suffering. But an evil spirit interrupted this dream reality, causing a great plague into the world to date. But that does not mean God's dream for mankind in general is forgotten. He still has it in His memory, and He is looking forward to restore it at a proper time. For now He is gathering those worthy to live that dream in the future, when this current world of mankind will be brought to nothing.Sushan wrote: ↑01 May 2021, 00:04 "God has created you to dream. He urges you to crave your own BIG dream. You were not created to merely carry out someone else’s. You were created to live a life of service, yes, but service can be weighty if we don’t unearth our own, unique, God-given vision." (Foreword)
The author wants his readers to break free from others' dreams and pursue their own dreams. And that have been the main purpose of writing this book, and as per the author that is the intent of God as well.
“The place where God calls you to is the place where your deep gladness and the world’s deep hunger coincide.”
But on the other hand, as per the author, our dreams are not our own dreams but which are given to us by God.
Has the author contradicted his own concept?
At the same time, can't we make our parents' or our closest ones dreams as ours and pursue them? Will it lead us to failure always?
I cannot say that God controls each individual's dream right now, because we have free will and we choose what we want to become. Neither will I say that the author contradicts himself because we all have different understanding of things. But a time will come when everyone residing here one earth will be speaking one religious language.
