Dreams, Seekers, and the Cycle of Life – Part 2.

Updated: Feb 8



If you haven’t read the previous post yet, I recommend starting there:

Dreamers and Seekers – Part 1, where I introduce the foundations of the project and its first steps.


Who is this book about?


Primarily, it’s about dreamers and seekers—those who are just beginning their journey or those who have the fire within but may not have dared to take the first step yet. These are the people whose thoughts, efforts, and internal struggles inspire countless others, as we often see reflections of ourselves in their stories.


This book is unique because it’s not mainly about those who have already achieved significant “success,” but rather about those who are still fighting for their dreams.

Of course, it also features individuals whose work, accomplishments, and authentic presence provide guidance. These “treasures of experience” are crucial because they show us how far one can go and the values of true success.


However, at the heart of the book are the dreamers and seekers—those we don’t hear about often enough (or only once they’ve long passed this “phase,” making it harder to relate to them). Their stories are often the most human and motivating, even if they themselves may not yet realize their own worth or direction.

This project became important to me because I, too, have drawn strength from books and stories, such as:


There’s a symbolic and emotional significance to showcasing the stories of people who aren’t celebrities or public figures but are simply human: family members, friends, neighbors, or the lady selling flowers on the street—whether they are dreamers or seasoned mentors.


Every flower begins as a seed, and every butterfly starts its journey as a cocoon. The stories of dreamers and seekers are just like that: quietly, invisibly forming, as the greatest strength and beauty emerge from within. They may not yet know where their path leads, but it is their seeking that makes them deeply human and truly inspiring.


Which came first: the cocoon or the butterfly?

I’d love to ask Rita Gyuris, the country’s kindest butterfly enthusiast and a plant doctor deeply connected to the world of insects.


In Rita’s fascinating realm, you’ll encounter extraordinary creatures—exotic butterflies whose size and beauty captivate instantly. These rare winged wonders, with wingspans of up to 30 centimeters, are mesmerizing. Rita doesn’t just introduce them but also guides them through every stage of their development—from egg to fully grown, magnificent butterflies.

These magnificent creatures not only delight us but also remind us of the wonders and fragility of nature. Rita’s work offers a unique opportunity for those who want to connect with this magical world of butterflies.


One thing I can confidently say: there’s always something that comes before and something that follows, but the essence lies in the transformation itself. It’s all part of a cycle—there is no beginning or end.


This question beautifully illustrates how the process of growth and transformation is always intertwined. Isn’t that a fascinating parallel?


As Mufasa explains to Simba in The Lion King:


"Simba, everything that exists is connected, balanced. It’s the king’s duty to feel this balance and take care of all creatures, from the diligent ant to the swift antelope."

"But why do we eat the antelope?"

"Let me explain, son. When we die, our bodies turn into grass, and the antelope eats the grass. See, son? That’s how the endless circle of life completes itself."


In the next post, I’ll provide a deeper look into the book’s themes, the logic behind the questions, and how the project is structured.
