There is a popular misconception that we might be able to just
wish our dreams into being. Maybe on some other level of consciousness this
is the case, but here on earth what we need to do is take action in our
lives. Vision is an important companion to our efforts, but it can't
accomplish anything all by itself. When we focus on what we want and ask for
what we want, we are initiating a conversation with the universe. Our
desires, passionately defined and expressed, bring about valuable and
relevant opportunities, which we then respond to by either taking or leaving
them.
Many of us are afraid to step out into the world and make things happen, and
so we hang back, dreaming and waiting and watching. There are times in life
when this is the right thing to do, but this phase of inaction must
eventually give way to its opposite if we are to build our dreams into a
reality. This can be really scary, and we may fail and struggle, but that's
okay because that's what we're supposed to do. Waiting for everything to be
perfect before we act, or waiting for what we want to be handed to us, leaves
us waiting forever. No one expects us to be perfect, so the best thing we can
do for ourselves is to get out there and take action on our dreams.
One of the hardest parts about having a vision is that when we test it in the
laboratory of life, it often comes out looking completely different than what
we had in mind or, worse, it doesn't come out at all. If you read the life
stories of people who have brought their dreams into reality, you will hear
many stories about this experience. But you will also hear about hard work,
taking action, perseverance, and, finally, the successful birthing of a
dream.
