Challenge Your Abilities

 Any dream worth living is a dream worth the gift of your time and attention.  It should stretch your capabilities and allow you to focus on challenging growth, pressing against the boundaries created by you.  Discover the leading edge of whatever you have set out to accomplish, so that you may know that it can be done by the actual doing of it in your mind. In doing so, you will realize that it is not impossible to reach.  Deep doubts and fears may come to the surface at this time.  That is to be expected for it is one of the functions of the left-brain hemisphere – to question your decisions.  Do not allow the doubts to stop your forward movement.  For if you buy into fear and stop at this point, your dream, if it is meant to be lived, will return at a later time when it may be too late for it to be truly experienced by you.  Take the time to set up achievable step-by-step goals to assure your mind that you are on the right track.  As you systemically go about accomplishing them, always have other goals to replace them when they are completed. Develop a three-month plan, a six-month plan, a one-year plan, and if needed for whatever the reason, a five-year plan.  No matter how long it takes believe it is possible for you to accomplish your goal, to live your dream. Create a plan of action that assures accomplishment and gain for all concerned. 

Remember to enjoy each step-by-step goal accomplishment also along the way.  Allow your way to give you some satisfaction.  Do not completely rely only on the accomplishment of the final goal to feel fulfillment.  The process of actually doing it is as rewarding as the final accomplishment if you keep in mind the actual creation of a dream into reality.

Vision Communication

 Once you have clarified the inspirational dream into an actual vision in your mind so that you can give it substance, it has now become an idea whose time has come.  You can understand the ramifications and opportunities involved in your vision by making a pro and con list – the good that it will bring into your life and the possible sacrifices it will take for you to live your dream.  Call forth now the courage to act, for without action and continued fascination on a positive outcome (even if it is just gathering more information), a dream cannot manifest into reality.

VISION CREATION

The creation of your dream begins by describing your own present reality as accurately as possible in order to determine the new direction you are required to take to begin living your dream.  There are possible dreams and impossible dreams. The possible ones are those that have a measure of truth in them and can logically lead you to manifesting them in your life in a step-by-step process.  The impossible dreams or visions are those that use your creative imaginations and give you pleasure (or perhaps pain) in recalling them. 

At some point in time there is the realization that they are meant to stay as illusions in your life as a way to motivate you to get moving and/or to punish yourself for being a failure for not being the person others think you should be.  

It is up to each one of us to recognize the difference between actual dreams that come to us as great ideas which take desire, dedication and demands to bring into being and those imaginative fantasies which assist each of us in existing in a stressful world.  The idea is to bring your own incognitive inspirational dreams into actual cognitive recognition in your daily lifestyle by directly and frequently focusing your attention on the desired outcome.
