With all of the beautiful creative energy flowing in and around the universe this month, I felt it would be an appropriate time to talk about dreams and desires. When I was growing up dreams and desire were not discussed, they were seen as fairy tales that do not come true. Fairy tales were just something you watched on TV and had no real meaning in the “real” world. My parents belief was this: Sure you could wish them to come true, however unless you married money, dreams and desire were just the same as wishing. “Foolishness”, as my father would say.
When I was younger I loved to star gaze and wished for things to be different all the time, not really believing that they would come true because I was told that they could not. I still did it anyway, thinking to myself that maybe my dreams and desire could come true if I just wished hard enough or believed enough. What I didn’t know at the time was in order for things to truly manifest that there had to be some sort of action attached to the dream or desire. No wonder things never came true for my parents!
Today I wish, write down my dreams and desire and believe with my heart they will come true. Now as I am older I understand that the Universe delivers to you what ever you want. I know that when I dream and desire something, I need to work towards my goal, believe that it is going to happen and do what I need to do to make it happen.
I do expect Miracles!
I believe that suffering happens when our dreams and desire are not fulfilled. Think about your own life, what has been suffering for you? When your dreams and desires do not happen the way you want them to happen, what do you do? Do you give up? Have you stopped dreaming all together?
What I know to be true in my life is when I dream of what I want to happen, I need to let go of expectations of how it is going to play out. Trust that it is the right thing for my life and know that in some way it will happen.
So go ahead, dream all you want. Take Action and Trust!
