When we were children we believed anything was possible. We created worlds where we were the main characters and everything revolved around our wants. Our friends came over and became part of these worlds and we had the time of our lives – laughing, playing – being who we wanted to be. It was magical!
As time passed and we grew older, people saw what we were doing and they weren't sure they liked it anymore. They saw us being young, excited and joyful – what they used to be, but no longer were. And, by golly, they didn’t allow us to be these things either. They said things like, "Grow up!" "Act your age." "Stop dreaming!" "Be realistic."
Whether it was teachers, parents, and counselors – there’s a good chance that at least one person in our pasts didn’t know any better at the time. We didn’t know that daydreaming and knowing exactly what we want would be vital to our future happiness and success. We didn’t know that these people were not mad at us – they were perhaps, instead, disappointed with themselves for allowing their dreams to die.
What they don’t know, and maybe even you don’t realize, is that dreams can never be destroyed. They can be battered and bruised, but they can never die. They just sink into a deep sleep in the back of your mind. They lie there, like Sleeping Beauty, waiting for the day when they will be realized.
Well, I’m here to help you wake them up!
It’s time to remember the magic of our youth. It’s time to remember the days when there were no impossibilities. It’s time to awaken your dreams and start living the life you’ve always wanted to live.
Each and every one of us was born rich. We each have, at our beck and call, 18 billion brain cells, waiting for us to give them some direction. The only limitations that exist are those we impose on ourselves. Otherwise, our brains do not know any limitations. Our minds will believe whatever we convince them to believe. So, why aren’t we living out our dreams? What’s stopping us?
Most people are not living the lives they truly want to live because they are not thinking big enough, nor are they focused on exactly what they want to do.
The key to having everything we want lies in expanding our definition of what’s possible and focusing on what we want. That’s it! Once we believe in the possibility of anything and focus in on exactly what we want to have, exactly what we want to do, then our minds can take us there.
'Predetermine the objectives you want to accomplish. Think big, act big and set out to accomplish big results.'
