Dreams

As a child we dreamt of how we wanted our lives to be and the things we were going to acquire. As life began to imprint on us, for many of us our dreams faded and became a distant memory. But for some our dreams fueled our passions to pursue what we wanted and who we wanted to become. But what happens when we stop dreaming or believing that our dreams can come true?

The negative mind causes depression and makes one pessimistic about the world, themselves and their life. Have you ever encounter someone who never has anything good to say? Never sees positivity in anything? How does that make you feel when you leave having this encounter? Drained right? Persistent negative thinking diminishes your ability to think, reason, rationalize, and remember. Basically what you are doing is stopping yourself in believing in YOUR dreams.

Dreaming is healthy and helps you to believe that the impossible can be possible. When you were a child and you looked up to the sky, what did you do? You wished upon a star and then when you went to bed you dreamt and awakened wishing that the wonderful manifestations of your dreams would one day come true right?

Can you go back to a time when you were a child and there was nothing you were afraid to dream about? What happened that stopped you from dreaming? How long did you stop dreaming once this “thing” happened? Are you ready to dream again? Can you trust yourself to dream?

When I was younger I dreamed about so much and I can honestly say that most of it I have done and still have yet to do. However, in my dreams I also had signs or warnings that were informing me of things to come that were not going to be good or in my best interest. We call those nightmares, but I still call them dreams. Why? Because they are dreams of struggles and obstacles that we want to address and overcome but are afraid to.

I want you to believe that you can dream again and be positive about the outcomes of your dreams and what you want in your life and for your life. Tap into the little girl and boy inside of you and dream the impossible to be possible. They say that life and death is spoken with the power of the tongue. Well, I want you to speak your dreams out loud and put the power behind them to become true.

I went to Disney World with my children, and when night grew everyone was anticipating when the castle would light up, Jiminy Cricket would sing his song, “When you wish upon a star” and the little girl/boy in us looked to see Tinker Bell as she glided across the wires flittering in the night sky and we dreamed, we hoped, we laughed and we remembered dreams of what we could be.

I dare you to DREAM….
