The Power To Create

“The greatest achievement was at first and for a time a dream. The oak sleeps in the acorn; the bird sleeps in the egg; and in the highest vision of the soul, a waking angel stirs. Dreams are the seedlings of realities…”        –James Allen

Our “waking angel” is our unlimited capacity for creating. Sometimes we feel a “fluttering” desire; a vision of the life we were destined to lead. Instead of letting it pass, latch onto that vision and explore into it’s depths. What are you really destined to do and to be? What is your vision of the “ideal” you?

As I began to reconnect with these questions in my own life I realized that I first needed to balance all aspects of my life. I drew a circle and separated it into four quadrants. Each quadrant represents a core value in my life. My quadrants are family, spirituality, business, and community/contribution. In choosing these quadrants, I kept in mind my vision of the ideal me or my ideal life. I envision an extremely successful business, being 100% available for my daughter, being able to show my daughter the world and how other people live, teaching her the importance of helping others – especially through childrens outreach projects – and doing all of this within the context of having a spiritual, well balanced life.

In order to begin creating our dream/vision, we have to first bring our thoughts and habits in line with our dreams. Catch those negative or limiting thoughts and change them to thoughts of possability, or potential. Remember, you get what you think about whether you want it or not so think thoughts that are in line with your dream.

Since you are the co-creator of your dream, know beyond a shadow of a doubt that your dream is on it’s way and do everything in your power to help it arrive. The position of co-creator implies action. What actions are you going to take to create your dream?

For me, creating my dream seems to be pretty simple. I have developed the following guidelines:

Love – Laugh – Dream – Work – Give – Be

Love like a child (unconditionally)

Laugh like a child (uninhibitedly)

Dream like a child (with no boundaries)

Work so you can

Give to a child and allow them to

Be all that they can be.

 

 Children are my inspiration (one of them anyway). It is my intention to help as many children live a happy, healthy life as possible. One project I support is Smile Train. You can find information at www.smiletrain.org
