It is very easy to get swept along in life, just drifting, day to day, waiting to see what will happen next, who you'll meet and where that will take you. Sometimes this is just right, waiting to see what the universe delivers next and where it leads you is very exciting.
There is a danger however of that drifting becoming a habit, turning into procrastination, fear and stagnation. Five years down the line, you are still in the same position, berating yourself and your life for the fact that you never achieve anything or move forward!
Why?
Why do we stop ourselves from moving forward and actually getting the things that we want and deserve? And why don't we celebrate what we already have in our lives?
As children we dream. We have many dreams and they never have limitations. Posters on the wall of being an astronaut, pop star, Oscar winning actress, racing car driver, winning a gold medal. It isn't until someone else puts a limiter on it that we stop dreaming. 'You can't do that as you are a girl/boy, not clever enough, don't have enough money etc etc' Not only is that dream lost but all subsequent dreams also now have limiters on them; you can only go so far and then that's enough for you.
Again Why?
'Would you tell me please, which way I ought to go from here?'
'That depends a good deal on where you want to get to' said the Cat
'I don't much care where' said Alice
'Then it doesn't matter which way you go,' said the Cat
Lewis Carroll. Alice's Adventures in Wonderland
One of the main reasons that many of us don't know where we are going or what we want is because of our limiters. Well lets make Spring 2006 the time that you break free from your limiters, let your beauty emerge like the flowers in spring and unlock your potential. 'Sounds great! But How?'
Dream.
Sit and dream. Take the time out to think as a child again. Forget money, education, social class and any other limiters and just dream. Find a safe comfortable place, close your eyes, maybe have some soft music on in the background and then let go. Shut off that brain and let the mind take a stroll down Imagination Lane, be that pop star, score that winning goal, accept that award for being the best at (fill in the space). Just dream for a few minutes.
Then collect pictures, just as you did as a child, pictures that show images of people you want to meet, places you want to go, things you want to own or if you are artistically minded draw or paint it. Then place your picture/s somewhere that you can look at them everyday, on your fridge, over the mirror, on the computer or in a scrap book. And everyday take at least a minute to look at your picture and dream. You might want to add to it as time goes by or even change it totally, that's fine as it's your dream you can do whatever you like. It's your DREAM!
'No one can get anywhere unless they know where they want to go and what they want to be or do'
