If You Dream It, It Will Come

If You Dream It, It Will Come

We’ve all heard about the power of positive thinking, but what does that really mean?
There are people who overcome great odds because they literally believed that they could. Athletes who envisioned themselves breaking a world record. Entrepreneurs or visionaries with grand ideas and the ability to see them through. People with terminal illnesses who magically recovered.
What is it that enables these people to do such great things?
1) It starts with a little seed. The seed is the dream. Maybe the seed is a new home, x number of dollars in the bank, a beautiful relationship, a healthy whole body. You choose. Be specific.

2) The seed doesn’t go poof and become reality. You need to water it and give it sunlight. Draw pictures of it. Create a vision board with your future on it. Paste it up where you’ll look at it every day. See it clearly in your mind. Taste it, smell it. Literally feel it…Allow yourself to get excited about this dream. Focus on the positive even if you have to fake it– laugh like crazy until the laughter becomes real. Thank the universe/creator/God (whatever you want to call it) for making it so (even before it actually happens!). Take a good look at your surroundings, your home, your office and make it conducive to helping you achieve this dream. Remove obstacles and any negative thinking that could become obstructions to your goal. Don’t give up. Often we let go of our dream right as it’s about to appear on our doorstep.

3) When your dream comes, Accept it. How many times is an opportunity right in front of us, but we don’t jump on it. Oh, this came too easily, or maybe I don’t deserve that dream home. Shhhhh, zip that doubt and replace it with YES. I’ve got it. Now dive right in. The water’s just right.
