Who amongst you has children? Aren't they just so precious? As many of you know, I have been blessed with two children and even though they are adults, they will always be my "babies". This week my son had an accident (fell off a ladder) and fractured his elbow, requiring me to tend to his needs a lot more than usual. But you know, I love the feeling that being 'needed' brings me, and the 'mothering' in us always brings a special joy.

Wow, this week has produced some exciting things for me as I have completed developing another e-course for those of you who want to move forward in your life.

Imagine discovering "How to use Effective Communication Skills to get what you want". This e-course will be freely available for members of the Fabulous Beyond Forty Club, and I know that it will make a huge difference in how you conduct your communications on both a professional and personal level.

Pursue Your Passion

I believe each of us is born with a life purpose. Identifying, acknowledging, and honoring this purpose is the most important action successful people take. They make the effort to understand what they're here to do--and then they pursue that with passion and enthusiasm.

Tweaking Your Dreams

One of the things that frustrates people the most in creating the life they love, is that it isn’t instantaneous. When we first discover we can consciously create our realities it’s like a fog lifts and the weight slides off our shoulders and we are finally FREE to have, be and do everything we ever fantasised about!
 
Then we look at our lives.
 
OH… So maybe just KNOWING we can create our realities isn’t enough and we have to DO something. No problem.
 
We begin to dream. We learn techniques, we shift, we change we grow.
 
Then we look at our lives again. They aren’t as blissful as we had imagined.
 
“What’s wrong with me?” we ask.

Nothing is wrong. We grow by increments. Sometimes-tiny increments. Although techniques CAN produce instant realities, for the most part our dreams grow by increments too.

We just need to keep dreaming. New dreams. Broader dreams, deeper dreams. More detailed dreams.
 
We need to “tweak our dreams”.

How do we do that?

Every step of the way, I would suggest to discipline yourselves to:
 
1.    HAVE GRATITUDE FOR WHAT YOU HAVE CREATED THAT IS POSITIVE. So often I talk with people who focus on what they don’t have and that they are not growing or achieving fast enough. Impatience DOES NOT assist you in creating what you want! Impatience pushes away all that is good! It pushes away love, prosperity, success, joy, everything you desire!
 
2.    NOTICE, WITHOUT JUDGMENT, WHAT YOU HAVE CREATED THAT YOU DO NOT LIKE. It is imperative to notice the WITHOUT JUDGMENT part! If there is something not going well in your world, DO NOT blame (yourself or others) or judge yourself, others or the situation (i.e. make it or others bad or wrong for having created it).

Simply be aware of what still doesn’t feel good, then…

3.    MAKE NEW CHOICES THAT WILL REFINE AND DEFINE THE DREAM TO GIVE US MORE OF THE JOY WE SEEK. Once you have made the choice of what would feel better, imagine it in your world. Hold the image and the resonance of the “tweaked” dream.
 
Let’s say you created the loving relationship you want but your new mate is distant and non-committing.
 
1.    Resist the temptation to worry about whether the relationship is “THE” one. Resist also the temptation to fear whether you will end up alone for the rest of your life. Resist as well the temptation to decide “HE or SHE” is the one with the problem, and maybe you better end the relationship right now in order to move onto the one who will love you properly.
 
Instead focus on feeling grateful. You wanted a relationship and you have one. What are the positive qualities of this person? What are the positive qualities of the relationship? Give thanks. Acknowledge your success. You created a relationship. That was what you wanted. Remember back to the past and see how far you’ve come. Yes, maybe you want more, but first, be grateful for what you have created thus far.

2.    Then acknowledge what you don’t like. They are too distant. They won’t commit.
And ask yourself, what am I really seeking? Perhaps, “I want to feel more loved.” Or “I want to feel more secure in our relationship.” Or “I want to feel more emotionally secure.” Or “I want to be able to trust this person.”

3.    Finally. Tweak the dream. Start feeling, in your life, how it feels to feel “more loved”, or “more secure”, or “more trusting”. Dream it in meditation, in a daydream, or write it down – how it feels to feel this way.
And you will create it!
 
Dreams don’t just happen. That’s a fairytale. You need to direct your dreams!

When I began looking to create a fun and profitable way for money to come to me, I totally let go of what it should look like. I only ask every morning that I should have fun, be creative and be financially secure and abundant.

And I am STILL tweaking my dream. I will never stop. I will always look to the next level of all the energies I desire… I will always change and grow it. It will never be done.

What is YOUR next level of your dream? How can you keep the energies you like in your life right now, and let go of what you don’t, by focusing on what you want?

“How often - even before we began - have we declared a task ‘impossible’? And how often have we construed a picture of ourselves as being inadequate? … a great deal depends upon the thought patterns we choose and on the persistence with which we affirm them.”
