Do you find yourself caught up in a lot of "stinking thinking?" When you wishfully think of something, do you immediately stop yourself with a "I can't have, do or be that!"
How about when someone presents an idea to you - a dream they have -and it totally seems off the wall. Do you say, "well, it won't be easy." Or, "you've got a long road ahead." Instead, why not say "great! what would have to happen to make that come true?"
See the difference. Once you start thinking about what the outcome would be, your brain will start getting creative and will begin to draft out steps you'll take. You probably won't know every step needed to reach your dream. But if you start in the direction your wise inner self guides you to, you'll be led to the next step, the next person.
This is the power of planning. To me making plans is like playing. And to be honest, many of my plans go out the window. The secret is, that while you're following your initial plan, all kinds of unexpected and wonderful things occur.
You meet just the right person who can help you with the next step towards your dream. You stumble upon a book that has just the key you need to unlock some blocked area you had. You stop into the "wrong" office and run into an old friend who can help you.
Planning in this way, loosely attached to the exact outcome, is the only way your dreams become real. Action rocks. You don't have to create your entire dream alone...matter of fact, you can't. When you get in the game, and take action in the world, the world will meet you and give you more than you can imagine.
Would love to see your comments here. Post a dream you have! You never know who might have a missing link you need. http://authenticlifeinstitute.com/blog/
