Dreams Come True Series II: Dreams Waiting to be Realized

There is always time to uncover new dreams and to re-define our goals so that they enable us to have more meaning, grace and joy in our lives.

So where do we begin? Often people approach me by saying, "I am bored with my career." Or, "I don't know what direction I want to take in my life at this time-I feel lost and confused."

Before embarking on our journey, let's consider a few aspects that may be holding us back, and how we can move forward.

So often, we have forgotten what we love to do, what inspires us-what really excites our passion and peaks our interest. For example, we may have chosen to work in an area that offers financial stability, even though it is not our "ideal" career.

We may have chosen a job or career and eventually felt "stuck." Perhaps we were afraid to take a risk and to venture out toward a career that would allow us to stretch and to use our special talents.

Step One: The first step is to focus on what we really want, instead of focusing on what isn't working. Our fears might include: how to pay the bills, how to provide for our family, or the fear that we will not be successful. Or our concerns may center around "What has meaning in my life now?"

Form clear intentions: Money flows into my life, and I continually receive checks that provide material ease. I focus only on success. By centering solely on success, I can only attract success!

As I create with inspiration, success and fulfillment fall into place.

Step Two: A simple formula is to write down everything that we are passionate about doing. It's important to include hobbies, such as sports, cooking, or love for music, art, traveling, charity or philanthropy-whatever creates a surge of joy.

When dreams have been repressed or ignored for many years, it can take time to get in touch with what exactly inspires us. This holds true for highly successful business people who now desire more than what their current activities provide for them.

The feelings that accompany inspirational activities are feelings of joy, enthusiasm, creativity, love, and satisfaction.

We also want to include the qualities and values that resonate within. For instance, "I love to help people unlock the keys to a fulfilling and meaningful life, through joyful work, self-nurturing, and loving relationships."

Do you love to inspire children, or do you enjoy bringing beauty to others through art or music? Do you like to help others find creative ways to solve problems?

It is essential to be open during this process of discovery, and to allow these ideas, concepts and feelings to percolate before taking action.

Let me emphasize this for a moment. For the "A" type person, action is the key word. To create lasting happiness and success, I am asking you to let go of the logic to action steps. Begin with what you really desire to do, and the qualities you want to experience- then take inspired action.

Step Three: Once we are clear about what truly and deeply inspires us, then we can send our intentions out to the Universe. We write our intentions down and declare them verbally.

For example: "I intend to help small business owners find creative ways to market and promote their companies." "I want to make a contribution that will allow them to use their talents fully and to create prosperity."

Declaring our intentions verbally creates even more energy, drawing the circumstances, people and opportunities to our door. Keeping our intentions on a small card, and stating them verbally two or three times a day adds even greater focus and energy to our goals.

Step Four: When we visualize the outcome we desire, we may experience images in our mind, or feelings of joy and lightness while participating in our favorite activities.

Tom visualized being a vineyard owner. He saw himself owning a vineyard, and farming high quality grapes to create a delicious wine. He mentally touched the grapes, smelled their aroma and tasted a few grapes. He saw himself surrounded by helpful and supportive people in his new business, as well as everyone who enjoyed and bought his wonderful wine!

Within two years, Tom purchased his own 22 acre vineyard property in Napa, California. He enjoyed his first 2007 harvest of premium Cabernet grapes that will be ready to bottle in a couple of years. With an excellent vineyard manager and winemaker, he is now in the wine business and living his dream.

Visualizing becomes even more powerful when we sense our desired outcomes as if they are occurring in the present moment. In this manner, we draw our desired future to us by energizing it in the present time.

Step Five: Trusting our intuition and higher guidance is key to realizing our goals. Intuition and higher guidance may come in many forms, as you have probably already experienced.

We may receive information concerning our intentions through dreams, through mental images, inspiring thoughts or even symbols. Another person may call us out of the blue, offering a contact or idea that moves us in the direction of our goals.

What about receiving higher guidance?

"The ideas feel like your own thoughts, but they have a higher quality about them. They are of a different nature: they bring a new way of looking at something or a more loving perspective. When you have a new thought, that is a sign you are in tune with that higher level guidance."

Sanaya Roman, Personal Power through Awareness Step Six: Expect dreams to be realized. By staying focused on the end result, and seeing ourselves living our newly intended reality, we will attract it to us. This is called the Law of Attraction.

In a nutshell, what we believe in and feel at a deep level is what we attract in our lives.

Step 6 is about Allowing everything to unfold. The Universe has a timing to everything. If we become impatient and begin to lack faith-“When will this ever happen?” The Law of Attraction will respond accordingly by holding the intentions out there unfulfilled-“When will this ever happen?”

Step Seven: Follow Our Dreams. Following our dreams does not mean we will lack in financial abundance. If we stay aligned with our intentions and take inspired action through intuition and higher guidance, the Universe will guide us on our path to fulfillment.

The appropriate finances will appear, the right people will join us on our path, and we will soon be living the circumstances we had previously visualized.

If you follow these seven steps, you will already be on the path to lasting success and joy. May you realize your greatest dreams and deepest intentions every day.
