How can teenagers be more realistic about their future dreams and fantasies?

“

Let your dreams and fantasies bloom in youth; they are the colors of life that will later guide you through its inevitable challenges.

Core Insight:
According to Osho, teenagers need not become realistic; dreams and fantasies are a natural, harmless phase of growth that should be enjoyed, not corrected. Life itself will ground them soon enough. Let youth taste possibility and beauty - memories that later counter life's miseries and inspire deeper transformation. Forcing realism (or premature spirituality) only crushes youthfulness and ill-fits them to a stale society.
Let teens dream now; real life will make them practical later, and those dreams give them hope that life can be better.
Why this matters practically
- Reduce pressure: allow space for harmless dreaming and exploration.
- Trust timing: experience will naturally develop realism without crushing joy.
- Preserve hope: early dreams become inner resources against cynicism and burnout.
