The unique opportunity this human life presents is the potential not to achieve one's greatest wishes and desires, but to achieve conditionless fulfillment. This state goes well beyond the fulfillment that one could achieve by satisfying one's own self-determined desires. What it requires is a choice to view life upfront as having a value beyond what one could ever give it personally. It requires viewing life through the most powerful reference frame possible: as a dream that is capable of giving one even more than what could be granted through one's own greatest fantasies. Something is being held in reserve for us: something better than we could ever imagine, and its seeds are nourished in the travails and difficulties we encounter through daily life. This new lens of viewing life liberates one finally and totally by an executive act of choice to believe an almost unbelievable possibility: that the dream of one's life was never random and meaningless nor was it a platform on which to achieve our own lofty desires. It is still greater than this. Life allows us to achieve something well beyond even what we can imagine now. Life's travails, far from being obstacles, actually point the way to go beyond even the level of our highest aspirations into a state of optimal fulfillment -- fulfillment without conditions -- which is permanent and everlasting. All it requires is a choice.
