Change on the Rise

Dreams have always been a large part of my life's journey.

I just woke up from a poignant dream—a vivid dream that ended with me in tears.

In my dream, chaos and uncertainty filled the air as the world was shifting. I witnessed people scattering in fear, all while being profoundly aware of long-awaited global changes in flux.

I found myself in a huge computer library room. It was filled with abandoned computers and overturned chairs, where there was little to no light, but also random areas where people were hard at work.

I encountered a group of several individuals, undaunted by the turmoil surrounding them. They confidently worked in the flickering glow of computer screens, surrounded by impending chaos.

Intrigued, I approached them, asking what they were working on in all this uncertainty. Their answer surprised me—they saw opportunity where others saw despair. They said they were building businesses. One of the ladies answered, "for example, this hair product business I'm promoting is really taking off, it's shutting down a larger corporation." I said, "Wait a minute, are you all helping build small mom-and-pop businesses?" They all looked up and said, YES! that's exactly what we are doing." In that moment, I was filled with emotion and began to cry. One of the ladies said, "Film her, capture this moment because it exemplifies the change on the rise." Then I woke up in tears.

As I share this dream in the quiet of the morning, I realize its significance. I am reminded that even in uncertainty, there is great potential for growth and renewal.
