DREAM  INSIGHTS

A dream is simply something that you want. And where do dreams come from? You make them up. Some are based on needs such as putting healthy food on the table or sending your kids to a good   school. Some of them are based on desires such as writing a book, buying a home, or traveling to an exotic location. But by far, the most profound dreams are those that are the expression of your life's purpose. All of us have dreams to achieve certain goals which we hold very dear to us. But the sad part is that we are unable to have the logical conclusion of our thoughts into action to attain our dreams come true. Goals can only be achieved by strong actions and not merely holding good thoughts. Even goat on its own does not enter the mouth of the sleeping lion.

For dreams to come true, trust your intuition and follow your heart. If you sincerely dream to achieve anything worthwhile, every resource you need is available around you.. Only thing is you have to pick up those resources and believe in yourself and your dreams to put them into action.

Believing in your dream is an essential component. There are signs showing you which way to go. Learn to read and act on them. There is often lag time between imagining your dream and making it happen. You have the ability to make your dreams happen but it will require your willingness to do whatever it takes. Fear doubt and inaction are great stumbling blocks. Do not ever be afraid to cross the finish line. There are always more dreams available. Sort out dreams into short, medium and long term dreams. Give each dream a date for completion and pursue your efforts towards achieving them. Feel as if you are experiencing the fruit of the dreams. Do   periodical follow up, review and reassess the performance and put necessary inputs into your action for attaining the final result.

A Visualization Exercise: The Sliding Glass Door

Imagine that you are standing with your nose pressed against a glass door, so close to it that your breath is steaming up the glass. As you wipe away the steam, you see an ideal place on the other side of the glass. You see your dream. Feel your feet standing on the floor on your side of the glass door, the other side of your dream. You are standing in the "Where I Am Now," where you live with everything that is happening in your life, in line with your attitudes and beliefs.  Looking through the glass door, you see the beauty on the other side. Is this where you want to be?

Grasp the handle and slide the door open. A gentle, warm breeze comes cooling in, and there's a delicious smell in the air. As you see around, you see every­thing on the other side that you want, everything that is in your dream, and everything you are committed to having.

Your family is there, too, your friends, your dream home, your dream life. All the elements of your dream are there, right on the other side of the threshold.  Notice  where you are versus where you want to be.  All you need to do to get to the other side is make the commitment and step across. Ask yourself, "Is this what I want?  Will I commit to this?"  If the answer is "Yes," lift your foot and   step through.
  
Here is a positive affirmation you can write down and repeat to yourself when you need a quick burst  of inspiration...
"I believe in my ability to make my dreams a reality. Though the path may be narrow at times, and I may not always feel as though I am making as fast a progress as I would like. I know without a doubt that I will achieve my hearts desire. Challenges are but opportunities to teach me what is necessary to get to where I want to be. As I overcome whatever adversity is in front of me I become better, stronger, and more prepared to meet with the eventual success which will be mine.

"Winners have Dreams. Winners Make them happen.
Arise ! Awake ! And stop not till the goal is achieved!
