Living Out Your Dreams
By admin | December 4, 2009
Are you living in a shadow the life you could be living? Do you feel like you have so much more potential that you are not even touching yet? Do you want to break out of the shell that you are in?
There is a way for you to reach your dreams and be true to who you really are. It involves moving past your fears and living in trust of the Universe that things will work out the way that they should. We often don’t go after what we truly want because we are so scared of not reaching our goals, of things not turning out the way we want it them to, or of other people judging us. So how do you get out of that rut?
1. Build up your trust muscle - spend some time each day in quiet contemplation and in prayer. The more that you can be in silence and stillness the more you can hear yourself and your intuition and act on it. Trusting yourself and testing out acting on your intuition can help you build your confidence in yourself and your abilities. The more you build up the trust in yourself the more you will know that you can try anything and even if it doesn’t work out it is taking you to something better.
2. Be surrounded by like-minded people - when I took up running at the beginning of this year I had a goal in mind of running in a 10 mile race by the fall. I joined a road-runners group and all the veteran runners had started from beginners like me to running a half-marathon or marathon. Therefore, they were all telling me that I could do it. Being surrounded by people who have already achieved your goal or are working towards a similar outcome provides you with the supportive environment you need to stretch towards that new project. Without the support of that environment there was no way I could have gone running each week and finished the 10 mile race!
3. Persevere - we all face set-backs and challenges in reaching the outcomes that we desire. Sometimes it can be frustrating and feel like you aren’t making any progress. Remember that no setback is a failure, but just an opportunity to learn and adjust the way that you are doing something. Each challenge is a stepping stone to moving you exactly to where you need to be - more aligned with your true self and your dreams!
