Dear Anita,
It
was so wonderful to receive your surprise call yesterday and it was so exciting
to have dinner with you and Kamran and talk about how people dream and how their
dreams come true.
As
far as my life story is concerned I grew up in a traditional, religious and
conservative family, community and culture in Pakistan. When I became a teenager I realized that I was a
non-traditional and creative person. When I fell in love with books and written
words I started spending more and more time in the libraries and enjoyed an
imaginary dialogue with poets and philosophers that was very inspiring.
As a
teenager I had a number of dreams.
I dreamt of
becoming a philosopher, a writer and a poet.
I dreamt of
becoming a psychiatrist, a psychotherapist so that I can be a healer and help
people in decreasing their human sufferings.
I dreamt of
traveling all over the world.
and
I dreamt of
creating a large circle of friends from all communities and cultures.
Now
that I look back at my life I feel proud that I’VE MADE IT. So if I die tonight
I will have no regrets as I was fortunate to be able to fulfill all of my
dreams. It was an exciting, sometimes painful journey but it was all worth it.
While traveling on my creative journey from BEING to BECOMING I have discovered
a philosophy of a happy, healthy and peaceful life that I call Green Zone
Living. To make my life successful and meaningful as a writer and an artist I
took the challenge of creating a series of Green Zone Books and producing a
series of Green Zone documentaries so that I can share my encounters with life
and what I learnt from them with my clients and colleagues, family and friends
hoping that my philosophy may help more and more people in making their lives
more meaningful and peaceful. I will be sharing my books and documentaries in my
Green Zone Seminar on Friday July 11th, 2008. I hope you can attend
that seminar and later on share your feedback.
Now
that I am in my fifties, I feel so excited that I have a close circle of sincere
and creative friends, that I call my Family of the Heart, that helps me in my
creative work. We dream and create together, You are more than welcome to join
that circle,
Please share with me what were your dreams as a teenager and what are your
dreams now and how I can be of some help to make your creative dreams come true.
Affectionately,
Sohail
