How
many of us have had dreams and goals we've either had since we were younger or
just randomly think to ourselves, “Wow I wish I could ___”? And also, how many
times have you immediately after stating your desires, start thinking of all
the reasons why it won’t be possible either at the moment or ever? Personally, I
used to do that to myself all the time. I had all of these dreams and aspirations
that never looked possible and clear to me. Instead of looking straight at
them, I looked left and right at all the things I “had to do” before reaching
them. Then one day I had a sudden burst of insight.
I
realized that all those detours I saw as stepping stones to reach my truest
desires were just pushing my dreams further and further away. We can forever “prepare”
for our dreams. We can forever tell ourselves, okay I have to do this for so
many years before this can happen or I have to stay here for this many years
until I have the means to live there or do this. And that to us seems like the
logical and realistic way to approach our dreams. Well let’s look at it from a
different perspective.
If you look
at your dreams as if they are futuristic and not something of the present, how do
you expect them to come true in the present? In order to bring an idea or dream
into tangible form in your external reality start thinking of them as if they
are already there, right in front of your face. Taste them, feel how close they
are, feel your excitement inside of them coming true. We need to stop putting
off our dreams for another day and realize they are ours at any moment.
I think
in everyone’s life there comes a point where you have to get serious with yourself
and your dreams. The universe does not work in ways of “time” and “steps” it
works in the now at all moments. Therefore, the second you bring your dreams
into the present and realize they can come true at any moment- they will.
Miracles do not happen to only a selective few “special” people every now and
then, they happen every second, to those who believe they can. We are already
filled with an infinite amount of abundance; all you have to do is tap into it.
So dream on friends, dream on!
