Do you have a dream? I believe everyone does.
The question is: Are you willing to do what it takes to make your dream come true? Most people feel their dream is so far out of reach they don’t even take a step in the right direction. Limited beliefs (no money, I’m too old, bad economy) and low self-esteem (I’m not good enough, smart enough, worthy of abundance etc.) hold people back. Then there are, what I like to call the dream squasher’s. These people will tell you that you can’t do it, all the reasons why you shouldn’t do it and all the things that could potentially go wrong if you do it.
If you’ve read biographies about famous people you will almost always see that they lived in poverty or hit rock bottom at some point. Jim Carrey was living out of his car with his pretend cheque for 1 million dollars. Justin Bieber grew up in a rat-infested home with an empty fridge. Halle Berry stayed in a homeless shelter. Mark Walhberg was involved with drugs and served time in jail. J.K. Rowling was a single mother living off of welfare. They had a dream or an inspired idea and they followed through on it despite their circumstances.
We can be, do or have anything we want. We are all born with the same infinite potential but it’s up to us to decide what we want and go after it.
The book, The Compound Effect by Darry Harding talks about how each decision we make day after day, month after month, year after year becomes our “present situation”. Did you ever wake up one day and ask yourself “how did I get here?”
Bob Proctor says that all physical manifestations (your present results) are the result of your previous thinking.
Thinking controls your feelings and your feelings control your actions (decision making). So for example: You Think: I’m not smart enough for that job. You Feel: not good enough, old, worthless. Your Actions: you don’t apply for that job. Your Present Result: no job, poor self-esteem.
My Tips for Manifesting Your Dreams
• Decide what you want. Dream small, dream big whatever the case
as long as you really want it in your heart because you love it or have
a passion for it, not because you think it will make you happy (even
though it probably will!).

a passion for it, not because you think it will make you happy (even

• Take one small step everyday in the direction of your dream. It could
be asking questions, doing some interviews, reading certain books,
starting a blog, starting a business plan, selling something for extra
cash, asking for help on Facebook, taking a class, etc. Imagine
where you could be in 2 years from now if you do one step everyday!

• Surround yourself with people who believe in you and will support you
with your decisions. They may not always agree but good supporters
will give you constructive feedback and will still support you no matter
what you decide.

• Do not let doubt, fear and anxiety stop you. Do not let your current
circumstances dictate what’s possible. You may be at rock bottom,
or cash, limited resources, few supporters but all you need to do is
believe and keep moving forward even when you just want to hide
under the covers and ignore the outside world.
• Listen to, watch or read motivational material everyday. Some of
my favourites: Bob Proctor, Louise Hay, Earl Nightengale, Darren
Hardy.

• Decide that you are NOT going to be a victim of your circumstances.
Focus on solutions and creative ideas not problems. Do Not
subscribe to limited beliefs that you are not good enough, smart
enough, too old, not pretty enough, no skills etc. This are just
excuses.

• Do NOT let distractions take you away from your focus. Facebook,
TV, unnecessary meetings, clubs or groups, classes etc. Ask
yourself “is this activity in alignment with what I want?” If not, it’s
time to reconsider your priorities.

• Be happy Now! Dance, sing, do something creative, play with your
pet, write a gratitude journal. Get onto the frequency of positivity
and abundance!
