There are two kinds of people who believe in miracles: those who say so openly, and those who believe but would never admit it, afraid to seem naive or romantic. The truth is that if you dream genuinely and sincerely, your miracle will come. Dubai has a way of proving this.
In 2010, what a small team accomplished in a year and a half would have taken a decade anywhere else. This city multiplies everything by ten — or divides it. Dubai is a metropolis that stretches toward the sea and through the clouds, an eternal challenge to the desert and to human imagination.
The world’s tallest skyscrapers, artificial islands, the quintessence of concentrated ambition — all in a city that does not understand the word no. In a world where faith and dreams have lost currency, here everyone has the right to both by law. Attend a meditation with Sadhguru.
Discuss 2024 plans with the most influential people on the planet. Feel like royalty at a gala at the Dubai Opera. Any wish can be fulfilled, provided you meet three conditions: work hard, abide by the law, be strong — and be kind.
That last condition seemed fanciful at first. But the power of kind thoughts, of genuine partnership and open trust, works here as nowhere else on earth. To be honest, to be strong, to believe in yourself and your dreams.
And then, if you are quiet enough, you might hear how the sands begin to sing, or the stars begin to whisper, or how a miracle approaches on inaudible steps. Because you wanted it very much. This is the true spirit of Dubai.
The fulfilled dream you can give yourself. Miracles, after all, live where they are believed in. — Lara Palmer, Founder & Editor-in-Chief
