zIDEALIST= “He who cherishes a beautiful vision, a lofty ideal in his heart…”

zIDEALIST= 'Architect of Heaven'

zIDEALIST= Noble-minded Visionary

If you look up the definition of visionary, you are likely to find words like, dreamer, unrealistic, impractical, wishful thinker etc.

Most of the world's greatest achievements, movements, creations and discoveries, have been born from seeds planted and watered by dreamers; those pesky little idealistic visionaries!

So, by all means let us, ”Dream lofty dreams.”

“The dreamers are the saviors of the world…
Humans are sustained by the beautiful visions of their solitary dreamers. Humanity cannot forget its dreamers; it cannot let their ideals fade and die; it lives in them; it knows them as the realities which it shall one day see and know.”

zIDEALISTS
pod is a place for idealists/visionaries (you know who you are).
Idealists make up only 8 to 10% of the population. It's a lonely job, but somebody's gotta do it. So, let's do it!

Join us and share your vision if you wish; you know – your ”unrealistic, impractical, unrealizable dream”. Who knows? Maybe the world will one day know it and recognize it. You are Inspired and Inspiring, Creative, Courageous, Unique, Passionate and so much more…

“It’s time for greatness – not for greed. It’s a time for idealism
– not ideology. It is a time not just for compassionate words,
but compassionate action.” - Marian Wright Edelman

The first time I read James Allen's book, As A Man Thinketh,
one passage struck me and buried itself deep within my gray matter. Many passages actually, but this one still resonates strongly.

“Composer, sculptor, painter, poet, sage*–these are the makers of the after-world, the architects of heaven. The world is beautiful because they have lived. Without them, laboring humanity would perish.”

*[To this list, I would add computer programmers, photographers,
writers and so on, 'cuz we/they deserve a place among the other
'makers'].

So, come on all you 'Architects of Heaven“… join us at play in the fields of zaadz.

Hi,
First post outside of my blog. I have lots of self-identifiers…daughter,sister, friend,writer,recruiter,empath,lucky person.

I'm mostly interested in how people relate to one another. I was led to Zaadz by googling “heartache”+”moving on”. So, that tells you quite a bit about me ;)

Anything else you want to know, just ask. I'll try to keep my blog up to date.

Dear Landinn,

Welcome! I'm so glad to have you here.

You wrote: “I was led to Zaadz by googling “heartache”+”moving on”. So, that tells you quite a bit about me ;)”

Yes, your google search words gave me a heartfelt impression. Thank you.

I just posted this quote with link on my blog today. It may or may not be relevant…

“Most of the prolonged suffering of our lives directly relates to our resistance to disillusionment. From early childhood until death, we all experience wanting what we love to never end.

Perhaps the most painful disillusion of form is our idealized views of loved ones-our parents, our friends, our leaders, our teachers, and even our gods. To fully experience the pain generated when the idealized image of a beloved form dissolves, can be the gateway to liberation.” - Gangaji

All the best,
~mu
