Turning Your Dreams Into A Reality

Although reality is where most of us are at, sometimes our dreams sweep us away to a world we wish we could be living in. Our life is filled with responsibilities and commitments that we use as excuses, preventing us from being the person we only dreamed we could be. We’ve lost so much of who we are and the vision we had which was once so clear has become blurred. But then it’s those moments when we get lost in our daydreams that we truly see who we were meant to be. Visions which have no boundaries that keep us from reaching our potential. So instead of letting your daydreams keep the real you hidden, capture your dreams and begin turning them into a reality that defines who you are.

Dreams don’t have to make sense…

Living In The Truth

If you aren’t honest with yourself than who can you be honest with? That seems like an easy question. Why would you lie to yourself? But it may easier than you think. Making a decision because you tell yourself that it’s best for everyone, but is it the best thing to do or is it that you’re afraid of what would happen if you choose to do something else. Your intention is to be honest but it’s an endless fight against yourself. It’s okay to be scared and uncertain about making difficult life decisions, but it’s important to find the courage to be truthful to yourself. The choices you make may not be the most popular, but it’s one that is right for you. You will find that the more challenging the question you ask of yourself, the more it will affect your life in the future. So take your time in deciding what to do and then dig deep to find the truth. Living in the truth, you will find the freedom to be who you really are.

May Day is Lei Day…

Knowing What You Know

How many times do you find yourself getting frustrated because you don’t have the information you need to complete what you are working on? Stopping to ask questions will only slow you down and makes you dependent on others who you don’t want to bother. But if you really think about it, how many people actually have all the information they need? Some people may act like they do, but in reality we only know what we know. Everyone has an area that they know best, whether it’s their work, family, or personal interests. So what is it about not having information readily available that makes you uncomfortable. It may not be about your willingness to ask others for help, but more about not accepting who you are and valuing the knowledge you do have. So in the future when you find yourself needing help, know that often times you’ll gain much more than the information you seek.

At times being unique is okay…

Moving Forward

You are filled with determination to let nothing get in your way. No matter what falls in your lap, you are prepared to handle it. It wouldn’t be to your advantage to get upset for it will only make you falter. You now understand that everything you do has consequence. The decisions you make today will impact what will happen in the future. Actions taken with good intentions will also affect your life. There is an acceptance that whatever comes your way was meant to be. So it’s up to you how you respond. You can choose to invite chaos into your life or stand firm on your foundation. The peace you seek is within you. Although the world may be unstable, you will remain balanced if that is what you choose to be. The life you envision is within your grasp.

Appreciating the past as we move forward into the future…

Unsolicited Advice

Be cautious when asking others to listen to what you have to say because you may receive unsolicited advice. You forget that everyone comes with experiences which are very different from yours. And it may surprise you when they don’t agree with what you are saying and in fact will tell you what you are doing wrong. This is not exactly what you had in mind when sharing your personal feelings. So be clear if you want someone to just listen to you or if you are asking for feedback. Sometimes just talking out loud helps to clear your thoughts. Remember others truly do have the best intentions when giving you their opinion, so listen carefully and appreciate their input. But at the very end, you are the one who decides what you are going to do and where you want to be. 

Lost in your thoughts…

A Silent Protest

There may be many things in life that you don’t agree with, but how many of those will you stand up to protest. Some may say that they can’t think of any issues at this time that go against what they believe in. Life isn’t only about what is going in the world, but what is happening around you. What is going on in your own neighborhood? At your office? In the schools your children are attending? When going about your daily life, are there moments when you question the status quo? These are the times when you decide whether you should say something or just grumble about it to yourself and those that you are close with. Protesting in silence may work for you but if this continues, you may want to be more active in expressing your dissatisfaction. There comes a time in life when you need to decide whether you should be the one to initiate change or wait impatiently for others. Know that whether you are an agent of change or not, be true to yourself and what you believe in.

Exploring new places is sometimes scary…

Taking The Day Off

It’s when you feel that you are too busy to take a day off is when you need it most. You have become so used to working on a tight schedule that you may even have found that you needed to add more hours to that schedule. It’s not that you have been asked to spend more time on your projects, its just that you feel this is something that you need to do. Now it has become the norm for you. Life is about fitting personal time into your work time. You may even love what you do so it hasn’t been a hardship in the past. But now your body, mind, and spirit is telling you that you need to spend more time taking care of yourself. Today is better than any day to take time off to relax and to rejuvenate. Special moments are just a day away.
