I believe that everything gets built twice - first in our minds/hearts/spirits, and then second in our physical reality.

If you have a dream, a vision, or a goal, I encourage you to detail it as much as possible. Envision what that truly looks like and feels like. As you gain clarity over that idea, it inhabits more and more of your subconscious mind, and your conscious mind starts to feel incrementally more able to "step into" that reality.

We must envision our future before we inhabit that future.

Or, to look at it backwards, where you are now is a direct result of the visioning process you engaged in a few years ago.

I receive ongoing updates from "The Universe", which is a great e-mail reminder service from TUT's Adventurers Club, at http://www.tut.com

This past one was great, and I want to share it:

I’m collecting stories of dreams that really do come true: http://asuccessfulwoman.com/?q=node/10 In all of these stories, I see common threads, including the use of:

+ Vision boards (to visualize what the dream is)

+ Hard work (constantly thinking of new ways to participate and be effective)

+ Dedication (90% of success is showing up)

+ Teamwork (developing a team of people to help)

+ Strength of character (belief in the dream and willingness to change to make that dream a reality)

What are your thoughts? Do dreams come true? I fully expect my dreams to come true, as almost every one that I had set down has come true to this point.

Dreams are really the only thing that motivates us — meaning, it is our unconscious, subconscious belief of how the world works that will impact our daily reality.

If you, in your most wildest dreams, believe that you are capable of doing and achieving your highest potential, then that will “filter down” into your daily action plan and your expectations for success.

If you, in your most despairing dreams, believe that the whole world is against you and fill in whatever belief you have here ___________________, then that mentality will also “filter down” into your daily action plan and your expectations for success.

Have faith and Fear not. Belief in your own God-given abilities is a true gift, and the ability to accept your unique skills and talents, to own them, and to use them to fulfill the world's need is the mission of each of us alive today.

When you believe, you are able to do all things. Expect that you will do what you set out to achieve, with the help of family, friends, and support along the way. We must believe in order to achieve. 

Learn from others whose dreams have come true, through their abiding belief in their capabilities and their purpose on the planet:
