Dream as big as the Ocean

Dreams.  We all have them.  Some we share with others, some we wouldn’t share with anyone.  Dreams are like children, you should never compare them!  You know, “if you share, don’t compare”.  Dreams are personal.  Even if you have the same dream as someone else, say going to Hawaii, your version will be different.  When you fulfill your dream, your experience will be different than any one else’s.

Or should I say Goals?  My understanding of the difference between dreams and goals is that goals have an end date.  For instance: My dream is to go to Hawaii vs. My dream is to go to Hawaii in the fall of 2016.  Feel the difference?  However, the word goal seems so corporate!  Cold, concrete, no wiggle room for creativity.  So, for the purposes of this article and any other writings from here on out, I will put an end date on my dreams!!

I am a firm believer in writing down your dreams, posting them all over the house and doing a dream board.  I have been fortunate to have lead some amazing dream board classes where the participants jump out of their comfort zone and dream big.  Then to have them touch base with me the next year and scream in delight of their experiences they nervously put on the dream board that have come to pass!  I have to say, one of the best things about working with people is to see them attain experiences that they never previously even thought of.  Dream Big People!!  Everything is possible!

Now, there are as many methods of manifesting your dreams as there are dreams.  Last year, I willy nilly put a picture of a new vehicle I would like to have.  I was not planning on purchasing a new vehicle at all.  In fact, my hubby was the one we had planned on trading in his truck.  However, guess who got the new vehicle?  Yep, me!  The exact make, model, year and color as the picture I put on my dream board.  Be careful what you wish for.  My feeling is that this came through so easily because I didn’t have blocks about if it would happen, when it would happen, did I deserve it, where would the money come from, or any other details.  I just let it happen.

That is the key – LET IT HAPPEN.  when I work with clients, the most common thing we do is identify the blocks they have consciously and unconsciously put in place between them and their dream.  You may be surprised at what blocks people carry around.  “I don’t deserve it”, “my friends will be jealous and not like me anymore”, or “my family would disown me because money is bad”.  Or we find out that they are getting exactly what they asked for, “just enough to get by”.

If you are having trouble getting your dreams to come true within your deadline, you need to ask yourself some tough questions.  Start with “what really is holding me back?”, then as again and again, dig deeper and deeper.  You will be surprised at your own answers, I’m sure.  If you get stuck, contact me.  An hour session can make a huge difference in manifesting your dreams into your reality.

Remember, DREAM BIG – EVERYTHING IS POSSIBLE (just get out of your own way!)
