Most people have dreams, ambitions and desires. Not all, but most. They usually can be summed up in Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs: physiological, safety, love, esteem and actualization.
In the western world the majority of needs would fall into the three latter: love, esteem and actualization. Everyone needs to feel needed, connected and useful. Once that is in place the quest for finding your own intrinsic growth path and embarging on your own spiritual journey has enough fuel to succeed.
Most people would like to make more than a fingerprint on the skyscraper of life, possible being part of changing the world. Growth feeds growth as much as success feeds success. Once landing on the Moon, you'd like to land on Mars.
Maslow talks about finding peak experiences that transcends the self-acualization and creates purpose and fullfillment. It's beyond the ego-actualization.
I've always been fascinated by the concept of the Renaissance Man. A person schooled in languages, culture, music, art, books et cetera. A person who's home is everywhere and anywhere, open-minded, humble but still knowledgable.
One of my personal quests for entering this higher state of being is to succeed in making the perfect Cordero Asado (roasted lamb). It's a divine experience and always brings tears to my eyes when I get the opportunity to enjoy the very same.
