How many of us have heard this inspirational quote? How many of us really believe it?
Most of us have heard it but can it really be true, that if we dream about it, we can create or become something we are not? Is seeing the vision of oneself living in or being in the company of the dream enough to make it a reality? I believe the answer is yes we can if we are not only willing to dream but are willing to put action in our lives to achieve it.
I have an adventurous spirit, willing to seize almost every opportunity that comes my way. Yes it’s true, I do have a daring side ready to seek out new and exciting adventures and the spirit of one who can accommodate most any situation, but those who know me and know me well, could argue that I may not be as bold as that sounds.
I tend to go home early and take life a little more serious than the person next to me. I am however courageous in my life and love to see what might be around the next corner. But here is the truth; I usually have created the scenario in my head long before I turn the corner and long before it even became an opportunity.
When I was a young girl living in rural America dreaming was part of my everyday routine. I dreamed that someday I would live in a place where I could be around lots of people and I would attend grand events and I would get to meet famous people. I would wear beautiful dresses and beautiful shoes and I would get to dance in a room full of twinkling lights. I would have lots of friends and I would see the world. I would marry a gorgeous, kind and successful man. I would be a business woman and sit among my peers discussing important topics that affect the women of the world, and where I would have the opportunity to help others while making my own dreams come true.
These are the dreams of many young women, the dreams that I had while walking home from school in a town so small we didn’t even have a stop light and we traveled thirty miles just to get our groceries.
From someone looking into this picture you would think I would never be able to fulfill any of those dreams. And yet all of those visions of my childhood have come true, those dreams and many more.
As life goes we grow up and we tend to stop dreaming or at least we think we do.
My dreaming is of a different kind now. I am a living the law of attraction, I think good thoughts, I envision my future, I do what I can to create outcomes that make my dreams or wishes a reality and I research every opportunity to determine its value. I seek the outcomes I am looking for and I make sure to focus on the achievement in a new and positive way. It is very hard to explain to someone the law of attraction when most days you are not even sure how it happens.
Let me give you some tips that work for me.
I have trained my brain to think in a positive manner. Even when something bad happens I tend to put it out of my mind quickly or I just put a positive spin on it. I genuinely adore my family and my friends and I never let negative conversation into my life. Complaining is not in my vocab and I shut out those conversations from my world. I think about the joy in my life as opposed to the pain I may have had. I even overcome personal physical pain with positive thoughts. I delve into my muscles with my mind and get them to open up and breathe. Sounds corny I know but it works.
Here is just one story of the power of attraction in my life.
I have always wanted to live near the water, always. There was never a time that a body of water didn’t give me pleasure upon seeing it. I could be driving over a bridge and a strong feeling of peace comes over me and I at once feel calm and content. My current home had a small creek running out behind the house; I could never see this body of water because the trees, bushes and tall grasses have kept it from my view. This was okay because I knew it was there and at night I could hear it running if I opened my window, then last summer a beaver built a house down steam in my little creek. Guess what, I now have a pond right behind my house and although I cannot see it in the summer because of all the obstructions I can see it clearly in the winter when all the leaves are gone and the grass has died.
This friend is the power of attraction. So here is my advice to you. Be careful what you wish for because you just might get it.
Cheers,
Toni
