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, so we hang back, dreaming, 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. 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.
