Remembering the Dream

8 Feb

Our lives are busy and we often have lots of responsibilities and things we need to address. When there’s a lot going on and we’re jumping from one task to the next, our days can seem to rush by. The needs and concerns of life can be all encompassing and at times, it can seem like there is no end in sight. It’s good to be busy accomplishing the things that matter and move us forward, but sometimes all the details we’re taking care of are just busy work. They capture our attention and keep us occupied, but do nothing to take us closer to our own personal goals. The complications of life can be constant, and there is no doubt that if we let them, will control all our time and focus. Our desires are important and setting our dreams aside may be necessary sometimes, but if we set them aside and forget about them, nothing will change. It’s easy to get caught up and lots of time may pass before we stop and think about the dreams waiting for us. We can be responsible and take care of business, and still take time to remember where we most want to go, and begin the journey forward to actually get there. Our dreams are important, but they will remain unreachable as long as we ignore them. No genie or fairy godmother is going to show up to give us what we want. It’s up to us to make things happen, and create the lives we want the most. We are wise and more powerful than we think we are. We can do anything and go anywhere, but we have to define what that is, and then step forward on the path that will take us to it. We can take care of our lives, and still plan for tomorrow. Everything is possible, and with determination and a clear plan, we can achieve anything. Success is waiting for us, and we already possess everything necessary to make it ours.

We have no control over the circumstances into which we are born. Some of us are born into privilege and wealth, some are born into poverty, some to parents who love and cherish them, some not so much, and thousands of other situations. We are dependent on others for care and support until we reach maturity, and then our lives are our responsibility. Where we started can never determine where we end up. We have complete control over the decisions we make. If we keep our eyes focused on what we want to achieve, our chances of success are great. We are highly capable of accomplishing whatever we desire, and every dream is possible.

Standing around and talking about what we’re going to do or making endless plans for when we’re going to start will not change our situation. What we want is possible but we must do what is needed to make it ours. Anything worth having is worth working for. No matter where we are, or what’s going on, there will be something we can do to move forward. Every step counts, including the small and insignificant ones. By staying focused on the destination, we can find our way ahead, and with effort and persistence, reach any goal.

Today if you’ve been busy and have set your dreams aside, stop and think about what you want the most. The destinations you dream about are possible. Make a plan and take the first step forward. You are intelligent and wise, and will find all the answers you need. Stand strong and look ahead. Every goal is there for you, and you will succeed.
