\"Dream
\nPerhaps you\u2019re like me and you find yourself yearning for the completion of your dreams.<\/p>\n

I dream of the day when my current \u201cstruggles\u201d are behind me. I dream of the day when my first book is written and published, and my second is hot in pursuit. I dream of visiting space.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The word ‘dream’ can have a pie-in-the-sky quality to it that makes me uncomfortable<\/strong> though. It\u2019s not that I think dreams are unrealistic<\/strong> to have. I truly believe that our dreams can<\/em> come true. But<\/em> we have to be realistic about achieving them.<\/p>\n

My dreams can only come true when I am true to them.<\/h3>\n

Only thinking<\/strong> about my dreams and not doing<\/strong>, I am simply dreaming. There is no coupling of the dream with a firm intention to manifest it.<\/p>\n

I get lost in dreaming when I start thinking I need to know how to get to the end result. I scare myself into inaction by the hulking picture of the goal realized.<\/strong> I start to think I need to know how to GET THERE NOW, and of course I have no fucking idea how.<\/p>\n

My success can\u2019t be guaranteed… especially if I haven\u2019t committed to it.<\/h3>\n

The thing is, I do not need to know how to get there. I do not need to know each step to my dream realized. I only need to be willing to act in the direction of it.<\/strong><\/p>\n

To manifest my dreams, and to move from dreaming to goal achievement, I only<\/em> need to couple the largeness of my dream with small, concrete and strategic steps.<\/p>\n

My dreams can not<\/strong> come true over night. But each small step I take does bring the bigger dream a notch closer, and knocks it down a size.<\/p>\n

It’s the aching yearning for completion, as painful as it can be, that drives me to act, and commits me to achieving the dream. That is what it is there for.<\/strong> To drive me in the right direction. It is not to be the final destination<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

My true destination, I bet, will be beyond my wildest dreams.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhatever you think you can do, or believe you can do, begin it, because action has magic, grace and power in it.\u201d – Goethe<\/em><\/p>\n
