You're listening to the Daily Meditation Podcast, episode 259.

Welcome to the Daily Meditation podcast. I'm Mary Megley, and I want you to know that you are

in the right place. As you get ready to sit down and meditate.

There aren't too many things you can do for yourself that are more important than

meditation.

Meditation helps support you in so many ways.

And in today's meditation, we launch into a brand new meditation

series. Every Sunday at the Daily Meditation Podcast, we launch into a new theme. And the theme for this week

is follow your dreams and this is an important theme because

when you give up on your dreams you essentially give up on yourself you slowly start to lose connection with your true inner nature,

the best part of who you are.

And if you have met people who you used to know

and then you hadn't seen them in a long time, and then you see them again.

And they can sometimes seem like they just seem to have lost a piece of themselves.

And often you'll discover that this is because they gave up on pursuing their passion

for whatever reason, whether it was fear or a lack of resources or a lack of support

from people around them, or obligations that held them back from pursuing their dream

or self-doubt. Whatever it was, there's this sense that they're not living their life

to the fullest. In fact, they may just be existing in life, not really

living it. And you yourself may have felt like that from time to time when you just were not

pursuing the things that interested you or spending time with people

who helped you feel like you were important, like what you had to contribute mattered.
