Is The Word “Impossible” Shattering Your Dreams?

Published by Lori

At some point in our lives, almost every one of us have dreamed of being somebody special. How many times have you dreamed of being rich, or successful, or perfectly balanced in every area of our life?

Many of us have big dreams and great aspirations. I do. Do you?

Unfortunately, for many, dreams often remain just that – dreams.

Why?  Because they don’t ACT on their dreams.

So, what causes some of us to not take action?

Are we afraid to try and fail?  Are we afraid to try and succeed?

Quote H FordOr … do we doubt our ability or our capability?  Are there voices around us, or inside us telling us that our dream is impossible?

Because, if we believe it’s ‘impossible’, then it is.

To actually ACHIEVE your Dream you have to BELIEVE that it is POSSIBLE!

The word “impossible” is the biggest obstacle to ever achieving our dreams.

In fact, thinking our dream is “impossible” shatters our dream from EVER becoming reality.

Thank God not everyone thinks like that, or we would still be living without electricity, telephones, airplanes, space exploration, air conditioning, automobiles … you get the idea.

When the inventor dreamed of each of those inventions, everyone else thought it was impossible at the time. But the inventor didn’t give up on their dream. They took action. And with perseverance, determination, and unwavering vision, he or she was able to actually accomplish their “dreams.” And because of others who believe their dreams are POSSIBLE, we continue to be amazed daily with new innovations, inventions, and redesigns that change how we do almost everything.

Anything is Possible – if you Believe and take Action

So, you’re probably wondering how you can achieve your dream?

First, Know Your Dream. You must have a crystal clear vision of what it is. And Believe it with every fiber of your being. Know in your heart and mind that it is possible for you.

See yourself living in that dream and see how others around you are also benefiting from you living your dream. Some people find it helpful to put together a vision board. A physical collage of pictures of your actual dreams – that car, that house, your child graduating from college, the vacation you’ve always wanted, the actual balance in your checking account.  Whatever it is, look at it several times a day and BELIEVE It Is POSSIBLE.

Then, Put a Plan Together to make it happen.  Will you start a new business, expand the one you currently have, get a better paying job, start a home business to generate a second income?  Figure out what it is that you need to do to get you to your dream.  Surround yourself with folks who are already where you want to be. They can help you take your life to the next level and help you put your plan together and then keep you on track to success.

Finally, Take MASSIVE Action. Knowing your dream and seeing it clearly isn’t enough. Neither will all the planning and strategy development.  You HAVE to Work at it – Relentlessly and with Determination and Perseverance.

Everyone can live their dream!

The only thing stopping you is you!

I would love to help you live your dream. 

 

IT’S POSSIBLE. BELIEVE IT AND YOU CAN ACHIEVE IT.

 

I Believe in You!

Is Your Dream Significant?

Published by Lori

Today’s Minute with Maxwell was so inspiring and challenging that I just HAVE to share it with you. Today’s message is exactly what “Living Your Dream” is all about!

It’s not just about what benefits I receive from it.

It’s about how what I am learning, and how my personal growth will help others find their dreams as well.

 

When I help myself, then I can help you. You can then help yourself so you can help others. And the “pass it on” that we begin will generate hope and excitement for the possibilities in ourselves and others.  And that becomes contagious. It begins to change us – and those around us – One person at a time.

Together we can truly Live Our Dreams in an incredible way.  One that makes a difference in our lives – and also in the lives of others.

Let me help coach you to success.

Living my Dream,

Believe in Your Dreams!

Have you seen the movie “Miracle”? I just saw it again recently. What an inspiration – the Dream, the Vision, the Commitment, the Determination, the Spirit. Most of all, I loved the message: BELIEVE.

Believe in the possibilities of life. Believe in yourself. Believe that your dream, too, can come true.

Believe that you deserve to have the very best life has to offer. Believe in the wonderful giving nature of the Universe. Believe that the Universe wants you to have everything you desire.

Believe in miracles.

It all begins with a dream, a vision of excellence. Then focusing your attention on that vision until it becomes so clear that you can see it, feel it, taste it, touch it, smell it, know it. Along with that vision, taking the consistent actions with commitment and determination to bring your dreams into reality. And, then, expecting the miracles to happen.

Each person prepared themselves mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually. They didn’t let disappointments or challenges stand in their way. They were willing to do whatever it took to reach their dreams.

And the miracles happened….

Last week I watched the movie “Field of Dreams”. For some reason I was drawn to see it again, even though I’ve seen it many times before.

The tag line for the movie, which I hadn’t known before, is

“If you believe the impossible, the incredible can come true.”

And incredible it was. Following the words he heard “If you build it, he will come” Kevin Costner’s character, Ray Kinsella, plowed under his cornfields to build a magnificent baseball field. He knew that Shoeless Joe Jackson was going to come. He expected the miracle.

I M PossibleAnd he waited. Sometimes I think we forget that miracles don’t always happen over night, that sometimes we have to wait for our dreams to come true. In spite of obstacles, financial difficulties, the doubts and disbelief that others expressed, Ray held on to his dream and was willing to take the actions he was guided to.

In the end, Ray’s own father was the one who came to the field so that Ray could have a “catch” with his Dad one more time. That precious moment that had been Ray’s true, underlying dream was finally fulfilled.

What if anything and everything was possible if we just believed and were willing to follow our passions?

This IS the time to believe in your dreams, to believe in the limitless possibilities of life, to believe in yourself, to believe in miracles.

Stop paying attention to the “What If’s” that have paralyzed you and killed your dreams in the past. Those are old beliefs grounded in lack and limitation thinking, what we call poverty consciousness. You don’t want them and you don’t need them.

Instead, choose to play a different game and consider this possibility: “If you believe the impossible, the incredible can come true.”

Here’s some steps you can take to believe:
1. First, believe in yourself. Celebrate all of the successes in your life – big and small. Endorse and encourage yourself with positive, loving, kind self-talk that reinforces your belief that you are a magnificent human being, deserving only the very best in life.
conceive-achieve napoleon hill 375x2502. Get in touch with your dream and your vision. Spend time each day focusing on your vision so that it expands and you can see it, feel it, taste it, touch it, smell it, know it.
3. Find a team that believes in you and will support you.
4. Set your goals and take the appropriate actions.
5. Expect miracles to happen every day of your life.
6. Know that you deserve them and that they’re happening for you!

BELIEVE IN YOUR DREAMS!

How Big Is Your Dream?

Published by Lori

I’ve been reading How Successful People Think by John Maxwell, and today’s chapter was talking about being a Possibility Thinker.  

It gave me some incredible insight into how my thought processes reflect not only my belief in my dreams, but also got me thinking about the size of the dreams that I choose. 

So I asked myself … How Big Is My Dream?

aim high michaelangeloTo be a true Possibility Thinker, I have to push past the naysayers, the pessimists, the “scaredy-cats,” and all the versions of them that run through my own mind. Then set my eyes and my mind on my dream and imagine all the possibilities. 

The caveat to this, is that what I’m dreaming should – at least to the better part of the “normal” population – seem unreachable.  Because what’s the point of dreaming something that I am pretty darn sure that I can achieve? 

Is that really even a “dream”?

I don’t think so.

To me, a dream needs to be “out there” and a little “pie in the sky” and maybe even considered downright impossible. (Giving my inner scaredy-cat a kick with this one.)  John Maxwell says,

“When you believe in the possibilities, you put yourself in a position to achieve them,”

So, if that’s true …

Why would I want a mediocre dream?  Isn’t it in my best interests to be dreaming of something incredible, something significant, something almost unattainable?  

Dream Big NowMediocre won’t give me passion. Mediocre won’t challenge me to do more than I’ve done before. Mediocre won’t set me apart from the crowd. 

Who the heck wants Mediocre ????

Give me Passion. Give me a Challenge. Give me the Power of an incredible dream that will fuel my days into action and generate change and ultimate success. 

As Einstein said,

“The person with big dreams is more powerful than the one with all the facts.”

So today I want to challenge you to do what I did earlier today. Take a good hard look at your dream and ask yourself:

  • Is this something that I know I can achieve because I’ve done it before?
  • Is this something that I believe I can achieve it because it’s already in the works?

dream big 300If you answered “yes” to these questions – you need to upscale your dream!  

Then ask yourself:

  • Is this something that gets me excited to start my day every day?
  • Is this something that requires me to do more and be more than I’ve ever done or been before?

If you answered “no” to these questions – you need to re-evaluate your dream. If you want to answer “yes” to those two questions, you need to find a dream that you are passionate about. Find something you love and that gives you joy and a purpose.

Having a really BIG dream gives you power. It gives you excitement and it energizes your life.

I don’t believe I would be motivated to live my dream, if it didn’t do all of that for me.  

Could you?

I’d love to hear what you think about this.

Living my dream,

Lori

Thirty Minutes Will Save Your Dream

Published by Lori

If you’ve got a dream you’re intent on pursuing, chances are you’re going to bog down at some point.

That’s just the way dreams are.

But, don’t despair!

These moments are actually good for your dream, because they force you to stop and rethink your approach if you want to continue.

That’s the only way you can find the footing to continue, and in that process, you’re forced to learn and grow.

I’ve found a way to head off many of those “stalls” … I visualize.

visualizeAnd I set aside 30 minutes with no interruptions every day to visualize my dream.

I’ve found that nothing can turn my mind around as effectively as visualizing.

Visualizing your dream can create hope were there was none, clarity in a space of confusion, and immeasurable inspiration.

Our minds and the power we have to to mentally visualize our own reality has been compared to a gold mine. Earl Nightengale says that visualizing will connect us with deep inner truths that most of us simply can’t tap into consciously.

“Picture yourself in your minds eye as having already achieved this goal. See yourself doing the things you’ll be doing when you’ve reached your goal.”

So basically, visualizing is digging deep into our heart and mind so that we can look clearly at what we want. See it. Feel it. Taste it. What does it smell like? Look at how it is impacting your life and those around you.  

It takes a little practice to really do this. Our minds have been taught to focus on “reality” and if you’re anything like me and most of the world, it may take some time for you to get comfortable with thinking and visualizing what seems impossible.

Visualize the ImpossibleBut it’s worth the effort.

Because visualizing gives us permission to dream. We are able to vividly see ourselves living a different life, feeling the feelings, smelling the smells, and owning the power. We see a higher, truer aspect of ourselves, and in that instant, understand how unstoppable we really can be.

It lets us see ourselves leading a life of power and abundance and allows us to acknowledge that we really can do whatever we dream about. We are able to see how much impact we can have, and how much we can actually accomplish by pursuing our dream. 

You can truly begin to change your life by spending 30 minutes a day visualizing your dream.

As Earl Nightengale says, “We become what we think about.”

DreamItDoItDisney2 The way to make your dream a reality is to then take action. Dreaming alone will not bring you success.

So here’s the challenge for today.  Take 30 minutes today without any distractions and visualize your dream.

Then take an action step to make your dream a reality. Do this for the next 7 days. Then do it for another 7 days.

Evaluate what’s been happening over the past two weeks – Your life is getting better isn’t it ?  

I thought so …

Living my dream,

Lori
