The Fetishizing Effect. Dreams, Reality, Outcomes.

We all have dreams, we all want to make it, we all want to be successful. What is success to you? and at what cost would you do to achieve it? We can see that media, social media, radio and other media sources magnify wealth and power, or status. We see a false picture of what success is supposed to be. Success is only measured by its owner not from what others depict it to be. What if your dream is not realistic?  What if you never achieve these high unrealistic successful benchmarks. Then your madden and depressed and opressed and you tend to live a lie. 

 The corporate  and industrial verticals has been sending out false depiction of what success is. They have the masses fetishizing money, status, and power. Fame is fetishized to a point where nothing is private, nothing is pure, special ,or meaningful.  You're life is a open book for society to pick apart and humiliate as they feel better about themselves that some other idiot is on TV selling their soul while they try to put thier own life back in perspective.

This is a vicious cycle that continues to rob you due to not having a clear and defined realistic sense of wellbeing, happiness and success. We can follow dreams, or we can follow tradition but the fetishizing of money, wealth, power through wealth and or power thru status can rob you of joy and a sense of self-awareness and personal realistic success.

Following your dreams and losing yourself or following tradition and regretting not following your dream. This is the question I pose to you. 

Really is your dream worth it. Do you have what it takes, are you willing to make ultimate sacrifices that’s is fueled by If you were once or now passionate about a dream, or pursuing a dreamful career and on top of it all you have had some significant success, should you give up on it all if you get married?

 Should you expect your wife or husband to encourage you and be there for you as a cheerleader as you chip away at your dream?

 Or should you focus on the marriage in a whole and your kids? Should you feel some type of way if she or he is not there for you, or docent seem to care about any of it citing "forget about that already" or just they are just not interested in your? Or they don’t think it’s realistic? Maybe they think that it is a  pipe dreams, what should you do?

Questions to make you think about what’s real, what’s the purpose of you and your career goals, is the chase good enough for you a subliminal purpose in life to live or   are the results of achieving your dreams, fame, financial power the ultimate soul fulfilling contentment.  

The fact of having your morals in tact, keeping true to some sort of moral integrity, like honesty, love, being truthful to self and others, giving, along with being compassionate and  having virtues not only keep you grounded it also keeps realistic, wholesome goals in reach and without ethical dissolution. Does being a millionaire and how you got there really mean success. Is it really realistic?

The virtues that we all used to have instilled in us has been diluted by the media with false representation of what success is like (fame, money, power, status). Is it all worth it once you've made it? or ...was it worth it if it meant loosing your family or losing your morals or not having any virtues. Hummmmm?  Be real with your self, "who are you in the dark" once you have truly answered that you may find enlightenment on what really matters to you and what dreams are really worth pursuing. 

Success is only measured by its owner, and not a reflection of the masses. Dreamers continue to dream but don't sell your soul to get the results you need to fix that false pretense of what success is. Dream to live, but a human first before being a product of society.
