I’ve heard it said that some people live ninety years and others live one year ninety times. The difference is that those living their years to the fullest are living their dreams. We can all live our dream lives when we open ourselves up to possibilities and opportunities.
We have been trained to examine conditions to determine opportunities and possibilities for our lives, though these conditions can be limiting when viewed with just the five senses.
When we live outside the standard senses and use intuition, imagination, and perception, we can more clearly see our heart’s desire and the dreams that will bring us the happiness we yearn for.
We all have an inner voice, but it is not one of reason or logic…it is the voice of guidance. This voice may not make sense to anyone else, but it is there to help us recognize and nurture the thoughts that build dreams of our very own.
The underlying principle of dream building is this: The power within each of us is greater than anything in our surroundings. The power within us is greater than any circumstance of our life. The power that is within each of us is greater than our history.
We can hold all sorts of things as ideas that will keep us from our dreams, or we can use our thoughts in service of dreams instead of thwarting them.
Changing our thoughts to best build our dreams is a two-step process.
First, we must release condition-based thinking. We create those circumstances if we focus our thoughts on what we don’t want to happen. For example, if we want to lose weight and concentrate on not eating pizza, we will crave pizza and ultimately give in to it.
The second part of the process is to focus on what you want to create, regardless of your conditions. Using the weight loss example, if you think about the delicious salad you will have for dinner, you look forward to that salad and do not think about the pizza that would thwart your efforts. This is true even if you work in a pizza parlor!
Each of us is the author of our thoughts. The past or present does not need to dictate the future. Allow yourself to explore the possibilities of your dreams and fill your mind with what you would like to be, do, create, and give.
Use your inner power to write the future in a way that supports your dreams.
